New iPads
“The world’s most advanced display,” “most powerful device of its kind.” The new iPad Pro handles tasks 4x faster than its its predecessor even while being the new thinnest iPad product. Its two options: 11 inch/13inch weight 0.98lb/1.28lb, 5.3mm/5.1mm. All possible from the M4 integration.
M4: Adds raytracing to iPad. The “Ultra Retina XDR” 1000nits SDR and HDR 1600 nits of peak HDR tandem OLED XDR. The option of nano-texture glass for anti-glare for the new iPad Pro. For the first time, the iPad Air comes in two sizes like the Pro with 11/13 inch options. The new starting storage 128 GB and starting at a very affordable price of $599 with the M2 chip.
“It empowers users to push the limits of productivity… it’s the combination of the world’s best displays.”
The Magic Keyboard was completely redesigned with a new function row and larger responsive track pad with haptic feedback. Plus, updates on accessories: New apple pencil pro new interactions squeeze sensitive, and it joins find my. Plus, the new Final Cut Pro!
I find the new iPad amazing. I’m not sure how they did it, but the power up from the last version is a much larger jump with many new innovations. Their inclusion of their new strongest chip and Apple’s best display really surprised me. (Especially with the nano-texture glass). The size options, however, seem a bit obnoxious to me; the width and weight are quite interesting, but if it hinders performance, I’d prefer a larger iPad. Personally, I’ve never felt that an iPad was too thick and too heavy. Older versions already seemed very slim, so this change has cool implications in tech, but it doesn’t appeal to me that much. Overall, these additions are nice, but considering prices, (I got the prices listed here from Apple’s introduction video for the new iPads) I feel a bit deceived, since the website lists different prices. (and it’s expensive).
A.I. Summary Snippets
A recent change to how Google’s A.I. is used in a normal browsing experience creates concerns for news businesses. Search prompts are answered with AI in browsing with Google, creating access to specified information on the user’s search. The concern is that this makes it so that people are less likely to search deeply and click links and articles with perhaps more general information when A.I. extracts that precise details. The lowered traffic on sites means less revenue and indirectly less subscriptions.
My personal thoughts on this current problem is why haven’t more articles come out on the Bing copilot. They’ve been using the same system of search summarization as a default for a while. I guess it’s from the popularity of the search browsers. A potential solution to this could be charging extra for A.I. database training for article subscriptions or perhaps charging per reader. Honestly, this only affects large-scale companies with strong news businesses, so many of these concerns are between high influence, big money people. However, the siphoning of audience with A.I. might cause partially biased anti-propaganda through the influential articles which is where I got my information from.
