Despite being in existence for over seven years, it's still a challenge to figure out where the iPad fits into Apple's lineup. Apple equipped the tablets with their brand new in-house A10X Fusion processor, which is allegedly the best one they've put out so far.

As someone who gives presentations frequently, I'm particularly excited that I can now record my screen as I take various actions with a simple tap in the newly designed control center. It will be bigger than the dock on previous iPads, and it also now uses machine learning to predict which apps users want to access. Luckily, Apple has acknowledged this problem and is putting its foot down with a new API developers will be forced to use come iOS 11.

Along with the HomePod, Apple announced more new hardware, including a refreshed iMac Pro.

At MacStories Federico Viticci writes an early review of the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

When the new operating system comes out, the combination of the slightly larger size, faster processing power and new software could make the new iPad Pro stand out against the rest of the line.

That being said, iOS 11 will bring one very nice feature to developers.

Now the big question is, "If you already have an iPad, should you upgrade or not?"

Apple is rolling out a new "Files" app, which lets users browse, search and organize their files. A new section sees the day's most popular apps - giving you a reason every day to visit the store and browse through game reviews and tips with in-app purchases straight from the store. However, I know more Mac users than I do Windows users, and the form factor and functionality of the Surface Book is just good enough that I can't help but wish that Apple had a true competitor, and I think the iPad Pro has been a missed opportunity for that.

High-ranking officials, including Acting Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani, were present at the ceremony during the attack. They had been protesting against Wednesday's massive truck bombing which killed over 100 people and injured more than 600.

Despite releasing its best iPad ever, Apple has the same old problem.

Content is both the problem and the solution for Apple. This now works system-wide and is much more efficient than current implementations in certain apps. Even app detail pages will get a facelift. iMessage app store also gets a new app drawer for swift access to stickers and apps.

"For the first time, the iPad version of iOS feels like it's gaining a truly distinct identity that's really optimized for heavy-duty productivity tasks", Dawson continued, echoing a call he'd made on the Tech.pinions website in a December analysis that made the case for what he called "padOS", a spin-off of iOS.

A new app with iOS 11, Apple Files essentially pulls in all your files into one place and even works with third party apps like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Finally, Apple users can soon delete the PayPal app from their iOS.

Not only will these free up tonnes of space, especially if you have lots of messages going back over a long period of time, but it will also mean that your messages will be synced across all your Apple devices so if you send a message on your iPhone, it will automatically show on your iPad.

The other big change is iOS 11.

He tweeted: "Social accounts have been removed from Settings in iOS 11". If you still wish to go ahead anyway, then you must sign up for the public beta right now.
