It turns out the tablet market actually grew 10% in 2025, and unsurprisingly, the iPad continues to dominate the competition. slatepad.org/2026/02/05/t...

For all you golf fans, the Apple Sports app has been updated for you

Happy Friday! I took the new features in Final Cut Pro for iPad for a spin, and decided to make a video about it. There were a couple of things I missed from the initial announcement that will absolutely help boost your productivity! 🔗: youtu.be/PHB9G8uMv-4

It’s been a long time coming 🎉 You can finally export videos in the background with Final Cut Pro on iPad! slatepad.org/2026/01/28/f...

For my first video of 2026, I’ve updated my iPad multitasking guide for all of the changes we’ve seen in the past year! How Multitasking Works on iPad (Split View, Slide Over & Windowed Apps) youtu.be/dwzwjkiAEFw

With Apple Creative Studio launching this week, hopefully we can finally be done with this ridiculousness. Background exports, Apple 🙏

I win! I win!

I get why people complain about the Office 365 apps on iPad. OneNote doesn’t support any of the unique features of the Apple Pencil Pro. Hell, it doesn’t even support Apple Pencil Hover!

With Apple Creator Studio, iPad creatives not only get access to more AI tools, but we **finally** get Pixelmator Pro! Here’s what’s coming for iPad users. slatepad.org/2026/01/13/b...

That’s a wrap on Metroid Prime 4, the only game from last year I was engaged enough to finish. Biggest complaint: Can we be done with the silent protagonists, Nintendo?

Coming into 2025, I expected another quiet year for the iPad. Boy was I wrong. From major iPadOS 26 multitasking changes to long-overdue apps finally arriving (Instagram!), 2025 ended up being a surprisingly strong year for Apple’s tablet. slatepad.org/2025/12/29/i...

The 2013 Tomb Raider reboot is still my favorite in the series. Might be time for a replay when it hits iPad next year 👀 slatepad.org/2025/12/17/t...

CapCut has released a new iPad-optimized video editor called CapCut Pad, bringing multi-track timelines, AI tools, and 4K exports to iPad. Unfortunately, it is not currently available in the US app store. slatepad.org/2025/12/16/c...

This looks interesting for CapCut users on iPad 👀 www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

This video is the rare YouTube recommendation that’s actually good. It touches on one of the reasons I lean so heavily towards things like the iPad and Vision Pro… Desktop UX hasn’t meaningfully evolved since Windows XP or the original Mac OS X. youtu.be/1fZTOjd_bOQ?...

Trying out the Logitech Muse in Notes on visionOS 26.2! And no, I’m not drunk, that’s just how I write 🤣

iPadOS 26.2 is finally ready, bringing drag-and-drop-based multitasking back to iPad! slatepad.org/2025/12/12/i...

Apple’s Your Tree on Battersea campaign is a nice reminder of what the iPad does best: creativity. slatepad.org/2025/12/06/a...

Some games just *have* to be played on a handheld

DaVinci Resolve 20.3 for iPad adds background rendering for M4 and M5 iPad users.

From the standard iPad to the M5 iPad Pro, here’s how to choose the right iPad based on your needs this holiday season. https://slatepad.org/2025/11/26/ipad-buyers-guide/

I feel like it says something that iPadOS 26, and presumably iOS 26, are still “optional” updates. Usually, the .1 release is when they become required.

Getting ready for Metroid Prime 4

If you’re using Ulysses on iPad or iPhone, it just got its Liquid Glass update. apps.apple.com/us/app/ulyss...

As iPad users, we’ve unfortunately gotten used to waiting years for Apple to address our feedback. The quick changes they’ve been making in iPadOS 26 (even if they were planned) are a welcome change. slatepad.org/2025/11/17/i...

I wrote a lot about the M5 iPad Pro, but it boils down to this: The iPad Pro is Apple’s most versatile hardware, and iPadOS 26 enables apps to be more capable. Apple is, however, walking a fine line with its new OS.… https://slatepad.org/2025/11/15/m5-ipad-pro-review-most-versatile-computer-yet/

Nice update from LumaFusion today, bringing background export support on iPadOS 26!

If you’re still on iPadOS 18 because your iPad doesn’t support iPadOS 26, Apple just released a new security update.

Getting 120hz external display support working with the M5 iPad Pro was more difficult than the reviews made it seem. Mostly because my gaming monitor doesn’t have a USB-C port. I put together a quick video detailing how it works and how I got it working. youtu.be/DbK9r67Bwn8

Apple closed out fiscal 2025 with $102.5 billion in Q4 revenue, up 8% year-over-year. 📈 iPhone 17 demand is strong, iPad sales are steady, and wearables remain flat. Solid results heading into what could be a record holiday quarter.

The M5 iPad Pro finally supports high refresh rate external displays, up to 4K at 120 Hz with Adaptive Sync. Here’s what it means, what you’ll need, and how to actually get 120 Hz working on your setup.

iPadOS 26.1 Beta 4 Adds Liquid Glass Toggle and Camera Shortcut Option The update brings small but welcome refinements to the iPad experience ahead of the M5 iPad Pro’s release.

In spite of the constant calls for its death, the Vision Pro just received its first major hardware revision. Normally a chip update wouldn’t count as “major,” but the jump from M2 to M5 brings more than just raw performance, including better battery life, 120Hz support, and somehow, more pixels.

Apple’s M5 iPad Pro is finally official. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new, from faster AI performance to Wi-Fi 7 and Adaptive Sync support.

New Video! I didn’t do a review of the iPhone Air. Instead, I wanted to present the perspective of someone that “downgraded” from a Pro to an Air, since it’s so hard for some people to understand why someone would buy this phone. youtu.be/Qj-tjvtqKBY

Oh look… another AAA game coming to iPad. And iPhone. And even Vision Pro! Control: Ultimate Edition is heading to Apple devices in 2026.

In case you missed it, it looks like iPadOS 26.1 will make a lot of iPadOS users happy by bringing back the Slide Over multitasking option. Details here: 📝 slatepad.org/2025/10/06/s... 📺 youtu.be/NCF1T5d6B0A

Apple nailed this year’s iPhone hardware. With the M5 iPad Pro on the horizon, here’s what I’m hoping iPad borrows from iPhone.

Apparently the license for V2 of the Affinity apps is currently free on iPad 🤷🏾‍♂️ www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comme...

The welcome screen always puts a smile on my face

Call me crazy, but I don’t think Apple likes the DMA. www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

Most Pro users don’t see where the iPhone Air makes sense in Apple’s lineup. For me, it’s the iPhone I’ve been waiting for, and the one that finally pushed me to leave the Pro line.

Please welcome the newest addition to my Dock! Idk what it says about me that I have the Phone app in my iPad Dock but not my iPhone.

What do you think the odds are I’ll still need a screen protector on the iPhone Air? I am someone that lays their phone face down. Idk if I trust Ceramic Shield 2 to really hold up against micro scratches.

I jumped on the iPad Pros podcast this week to discuss the happenings from the September iPhone event! (Don’t worry, we talk a little about the iPad too) slatepad.org/2025/09/10/s...

I saw a video about this Huawei tablet over the weekend, and it made me sad about how little effort Apple has been putting into the iPad Mini.

After years of excuses for why they wouldn’t do it, Meta has finally seen fit to release Instagram for iPadOS. But why bother after 15 years?

I usually do a black Apple logo with the white Magic Keyboard, but these days, that classic Apple logo is doing it for me
