Apple hints that new iPads won’t land until after the iPhone 14

If you were hoping to pick up a new iPad 2022 or an iPad Pro 2022 alongside the iPhone 14 then you’ll probably be out of luck, as it looks increasingly likely that Apple’s upcoming tablets will land later.

The latest evidence of that is a comment from Apple to TechCrunch, with the company saying “This is an especially big year for iPadOS. As its own platform with features specifically designed for iPad, we have the flexibility to deliver iPadOS on its own schedule. This Fall, iPadOS will ship after iOS, as version 16.1 in a free software update.”

The key point there being that iPadOS 16 – or iPadOS 16.1 as it’s set to be called - will ship after iOS 16, rather than at the same time. It’s likely that Apple would want to launch its new iPads with this software on them out of the box, so there’s a good chance therefore that Apple’s upcoming tablet hardware will also launch after iOS 16 – and therefore after the iPhone 14.

The wait shouldn’t be much longer though, as Apple’s comment says iPadOS 16 will land this “fall”, which typically means between September and November.

The iPhone 14 for what it’s worth is expected to land on September 7, and it’s likely that iOS 16 will land alongside it. So where does that leave iPadOS 16 and the new iPads? Our best guess is October, as not only does that occur within the “fall” window, but a recent leak also pointed to that month.

Analysis: an iPadOS 16.1 beta is out now, but you should probably wait for the finished version

Apple’s comment above was delivered alongside the launch of an iPadOS 16.1 developer beta. The numbering is unusual as it means that Apple will be skipping iPadOS 16 and going straight to 16.1.

This also means that you can try the latest version of Apple’s upcoming tablet software now, but we wouldn’t recommend it. For one thing, you need a developer account to access this beta, which means jumping through more hoops than for a public beta.

For another, as with any beta this won’t be completely stable or polished, and there are probably good reasons that Apple is delaying the final release. We noted during an earlier beta that the headline Stage Manager feature is in desperate need of work, so experiencing the current version might not be that pleasant.

October isn’t far away anyway, and in the meantime, we’ll soon see the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which should sate most Apple appetites for a while.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
