Apple’s 2026 iPad lineup splits cleanly into four models, but only three of them can actually run Apple Intelligence, and the gap between the cheapest iPad for AI and the iPad Pro M5 is now over $650. The base iPad 11 ($349) still ships with the A16 chip and 6GB of RAM, which means no on-device generative AI features at all. Above it sit the iPad mini ($499), the iPad Air M4 ($599), and the iPad Pro M5 ($999), each unlocking a different level of AI performance. This guide breaks down every iPad you can buy in April 2026, what kind of AI on iPad each one can realistically handle, […]

Your iPhone ships with Apple Intelligence built in, but the real power is in the third-party AI apps you add on top. Across 1 million+ ratings, Grok alone holds a 4.9-star App Store average, ChatGPT pulls in hundreds of millions of users every month, and Google Gemini crossed 450 million monthly users in 2026. The gap between the best AI app for iPhone and the rest is now huge, and picking the right one matters more than ever. We spent the last two weeks testing the top AI apps on iPhone in real workflows, writing emails, editing photos, researching articles, generating images, and holding voice conversations. Some apps excel at […]

The new M5 MacBook Pro is here, and the biggest promises are all about AI. Apple is talking about new “Neural Accelerators” and massive speed boosts, but what does that actually mean for your daily work?

And how does this new hardware change the way you […]

For over a decade, Siri has been Apple’s promise of an intelligent assistant that lives in your pocket. But in 2025, that promise feels closer to a punchline. While generative AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and even Bixby are showing real-world progress, Siri remains fundamentally the same as it was at its introduction in 2011. Apple promised a smarter, more conversational Siri — one that understands context, sees what’s on your screen, and can take actions across apps. Some groundwork arrived with Apple Intelligence in late 2024 and early 2025. But the major upgrades, especially the “smarter Siri” experience, have been repeatedly delayed — and internal feedback hasn’t been glowing. This […]

Apple is reportedly considering its boldest move yet in artificial intelligence: the acquisition of Perplexity AI, a fast-growing AI search startup recently valued at $14 billion. If successful, the deal could become Apple’s largest acquisition in history, far surpassing its $3 billion purchase of Beats in 2014. With Apple’s stock down nearly 20% year-to-date in 2025 and criticism mounting over its sluggish AI rollout, this could mark a pivotal moment in Cupertino’s long-term strategy. According to Bloomberg, Apple’s head of M&A, Adrian Perica, and services chief Eddy Cue are leading internal discussions about a potential acquisition. While no formal offer has been made to Perplexity’s management, and talks remain preliminary, the move […]
