The next big thing in iPads is apparently not so big… reports are that Apple will be revealing a new member of the iPad Pro family at the Special Media Event on March 15th – albeit a baby one.
The smaller iPad Pro will be a 9.7 inch device (the current iPad Pro is a 12.9 inch model) however will have the same awesome features as it’s bigger brother.
Apple is rumored to be slimming down their iPad line-up and focusing only on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and 7.9-inch iPad mini 4 as its main devices, with the iPad Air 2 possibly available as an entry-level model at the middle size.
Did the size of the iPad Pro previously put you off despite it’s many attributes? Would you be more likely to buy a smaller iPad Pro?
HEY SIRI! Will you always be stuck inside my iPhone?
Well, guy, maybe not, as the case may be. Now, no jumping too far ahead of yourself there, we’re not saying that she’s going to be a physical entity anytime soon (although don’t count it out?), rumor has it that Siri will be coming to a Mac computer near you, and soon.
How soon? Why, later this year, we’re so glad you asked! Apparently Siri will be a feature in OS X 10.12 which debut’s later this year. It’s had over 3 years of testing and will accessed through an icon in the menu bar as well as via a keyboard shortcut and by the “Hey Siri” command when the computer is connected to power.
OS X 10.12 will probably be announced at WWDC in June ahead of a fall release.

Apple has acknowledged the “1970” date bug affecting 64-bit iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.
If you don’t know about this bug, maybe it’s best. If you really want to know – read on. Manually changing the date to May 1970 or earlier results in a continuous reboot cycle and will prevent your iOS device from turning on after a restart. Crimeny!
This video explains why the issue may occur:
Apple say that a fix will be available in an upcoming iOS software update.
If you do have this issue restoring through iTunes in DFU Mode may work. It’s best to contact Apple Support.
Yesterday, both Facebook and Twitter raised their strong tech voice to stand alongside Apple.
The order the FBI made specifically requires that Apple creates a version of iOS that would let it crack the passcode on the iPhone 5c used by San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook.
Specifically, these are the orders.
1. Eliminate the auto-erase function that wipes an iPhone if the wrong passcode is entered 10 times.
2. Eliminate the delay that locks the FBI out of the iPhone if the wrong passcode is entered too many times in a row.
3. Implement a method that would allow the FBI to electronically enter a passcode using software.
Apple calls this a ‘dangerous precedent’. Others in the tech world agree.
From Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey:
We stand with @tim_cook and Apple (and thank him for his leadership)! https://t.co/XrnGC9seZ4
Facebook shared its announcement through a statement with USA Today:
“We condemn terrorism and have total solidarity with victims of terror. Those who seek to praise, promote, or plan terrorist acts have no place on our services. We also appreciate the difficult and essential work of law enforcement to keep people safe,” the statement reads. “When we receive lawful requests from these authorities we comply. However, we will continue to fight aggressively against requirements for companies to weaken the security of their systems. These demands would create a chilling precedent and obstruct companies’ efforts to secure their products.”
Google CEO Sundar Pichai supports Apple, and in a statement has also called the FBI’s request a “troubling precedent”. WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum and several advocacy groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, and the American Civil Liberties Union have also voiced their support.
