Apple Announces M2 iPad Pros, 2022 iPad

On October 18, Apple forwent a fall event and announced the iPad 10 and M2 iPad Pro via press release. Apple's entry-level iPad 10 got a new USB-C port, its own Magic Keyboard Folio, a bigger display, an upgraded camera, and a Touch ID button in place of a Home Button. The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros announced today are powered by the M2 chip, the same one that can be found in the 2022 MacBook Air, and they support fancy new Apple Pencil capabilities. Let's go over the specs, when you can buy the newest iPads, how much they will cost you, and, of course, colors!

When Can You Download iPadOS 16 & Is Your iPad Compatible?

While the newest version of iPadOS has traditionally been released at the same time as the newest version of iOS, this year is different. For the first time since the original version of iPadOS came out in 2019, the new iPad software will be released later in the fall, closer to the macOS Ventura release rather than the release of the newest iPhone software. Many are attributing the delay to the need to fix the unusually buggy iPadOS beta software before making it available to the public. While we're disappointed with the delay, we're excited for iPadOS 16 to be released on October 24. Find out which iPads will work with iPadOS once it's available, which iPadOS features will be immediately available and why iPadOS is delayed.

This article will tell you how to turn off Auto-Join Wi-Fi on an iPhone. The iPhone automatically connects to known Wi-Fi networks whenever it's in range. While auto-joining a known Wi-Fi network can be useful in saving us from having to manually reconnect to our preferred networks every time we want to use the internet, it can be frustrating to automatically join a network. Maybe you are in range of two known networks, such as the coffee shop where you're working and the restaurant next door and your iPhone connected to the wrong one, or maybe you don't want your device to connect to the coffee shop Wi-Fi every time you happen to walk by. Whatever your reason is, if you are unhappy when Wi-Fi keeps turning on on your iPhone, here is how to turn off Auto-Join Wi-Fi.

How to Know If Your Apple Pencil Is Charging

"How do I know if my Apple Pencil is charging?" I asked this question not too long ago, and it turned out that my Apple Pencil was not charging, and was in fact broken, which underlined the need to be able to tell if your Apple Pencil is charging. The Apple Pencil 1 and Apple Pencil 2 have different charging mechanisms and ways to let you know that they're charging, so we'll go over both. Here's how to tell if your Apple Pencil is charging.

This article will tell you how to stop your iPhone from going to sleep too quickly. If you want to change your Lock Screen settings to turn off Auto-Lock or change how quickly your screen dims, we'll cover that as well. In addition to "why does my screen turn off so fast?" you may also be wondering, "why is Auto-Lock grayed out on my iPhone?" We'll tell you why this happens, and how to fix it.

A particularly fun and exciting iOS 16 addition to the Photos app is the ability to share an entire photo library. While this feature is amazing for family vacations, group projects, and more, you will want to make sure you are only sharing the photos you want to share. To keep some of your photos private while using a Shared Photo Library, we'll show you how to use Share Manually.

iOS 16 has a lot of new and exciting features that makes certain tasks convenient. One of those features is the iCloud Shared Photo Library. While the previous operating system already supports shared albums, the iCloud Shared Photo Library will now allow the people who you’re sharing to join you in managing and uploading folders as well as adding, deleting, and even editing shared photos. In this article, we will show you how to share all your photos into the iCloud Shared Photo Library.

How to Sync Website Settings between Devices in Safari

One useful new Safari features in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura (coming this fall and available as beta software now) is the ability to have the browser remember your settings for specific websites even when you open the site on another device, as long as you're logged into the same Apple ID. This includes your Reader Mode settings, content blockers, whether you prefer to view the desktop site on mobile, and more. We'll show you how to turn syncing on and off and where to find these settings to adjust them.

Apple will hold its fall 2021 event, "California Streaming," on the September 14 at 10 a.m. PDT. We may get confirmation of rumored new products like the iPhone 13 line, Apple Watch 7, AirPods 3 and possible AirPods Pro 2, new iPads, and a new MacBook. Some dreams will be fulfilled, some crushed into the dirt. We'll cover all of it, offering commentary during the event in our Facebook group and in the special podcast episode we'll be recording right after. Here’s how you can watch Apple's September event too.

Apple's Reminders app helps you organize your schedule and tasks into tidy lists that you can check off after completion. With iOS 16, you now have the option to pin a list to the top of the app just like you can pin a note in the Notes app! This is really great if you have a lot of reminders cluttering the app and you want to be able to find one particular list super quickly.
