In 2014, Jill Barton sold her home in Western Australia and flew to Egypt to rent a property, employ a vet and start a horse hospital. Eight years later, she says the hospital has helped thousands of horses and donkeys, and employs three vets to tend to an average of around 75 animals per day. "It certainly wasn't easy," Ms Barton told ABC Radio Perth Breakfast host Tom Baddeley. "I don't speak the language. It's a completely different culture." Originally from WA, where she rode polocrosse in Mukinbudin, Ms Barton felt compelled to start the hospital after a visit with her former partner to an existing equine rescue centre in Cairo in 2013. She said they were shocked by the number of animals that needed care their owners could not afford to provide. "I'm an animal lover and a horse lover," Ms Barton said. "It was really incredible, quite disturbing." "We just started by renting a property and we employed a vet. And then we created the charity back here in Australia — my ex-husband did that for me. And, yeah, we just kind of went from there. And it's just really grown." Ms Barton's charity, Egypt Equine Aid, is located at a rural site called Abusir, between Giza and Saqqara in the northern part of the country. She said there were many families in the area who lived in poverty and relied on working horses and donkeys for their livelihood but could not afford to pay for veterinary care — if it was available. The charity runs a hospital that treats horses with wounds from traffic accidents and diseases or ailments such as tetanus, strangles and colic. She said many of the animal owners were suspicious of the charity at first, but the hospital has since earned their trust. Ms Barton said some of the horses they treated were likely descended from around 10,000 Australian "Waler" horses that remained in the Middle East after World War I. "The legend goes that the soldiers shot their horses, [that] they didn't want to leave them behind, but it's not true," she said. "So in fact, we did leave 10,000 horses behind. We gave them to the British who sold them to the Egyptians a year later." Ms Barton says equine equipment from the World War I era is still in use today. "Anybody that goes to the pyramid area would see that those old war saddles are still in use today," she said. "They're obviously repaired over and over and over."

"Sometimes you see them have welding repairs done on them, but they've really stood the test of time," she said. In 2020, Ms Barton received a Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the welfare of equine animals. "I want to leave this legacy to the animals of Egypt," she said. She is currently visiting Australia to rally more support for the charity in this country. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-02/australian-woman-runs-horse-hospital-egypt/101395792

Pope Francis sends a message to an international Conference on Sports and Spirituality in which he reiterates his belief the “amateur” spirit must never be lacking in sports as it preserves the genuine values of competition.Pope Francis sent a message of greeting and encouragement to participants in the International Conference on Sports and Spirituality taking place in Rome on May 16-18. The event is organized and promoted by the Vatican Dicastery for Culture and the French Embassy to the Holy See within the framework of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Reflecting on the fact that we live in a world where sports play an increasingly central role in society, the Pope notes that “The discipline and temperance of athletes, as well as healthy competition, have often been valued as metaphors for virtuous Christian life.” Even today, he continues, “this metaphor can be effective for all those who, in some way, desire and strive to please God and be His friend.” Indeed, he adds, quoting the apostle Paul who has compared spiritual life to athletic activity more than once, sports can be practised not merely as a pastime but as a vehicle for personal development and communal cohesion. "Sport (…) is a way to spend leisure time that arouses interests and opportunities for meeting, brings people together, creates communities, energizes life in an orderly manner, and promotes dreams, especially in younger generations," he said. Preserving the 'amateur spirit' The Pope reflects on how it is crucial to preserve the "amateur" spirit in sports, irrespective of levels of competition, a spirit that is characterized by its purity and authenticity. Only in this way, he says is it possible to safeguard the essence of sportsmanship. "In sports, at all levels, the 'amateur' spirit should never be lacking, as it preserves its genuineness," he says. Embracing this spirit, he explains, requires an integration of athletic strength and spiritual values, to ensure true victory that lies not only in winning but in the journey of self-discovery and growth. Jesus: God’s true athlete Pope Francis also focuses on the fact that as well as the need for pastoral care for sports and education, it is important for the Church to reflect on the sporting experience and adequately valorize it in its evangelizing action. Recalling St. John Paul II’s homily at the Jubilee of Sports in 2000, he said “Those involved in this service are called to act in a way that presents Jesus as ‘God’s true athlete’”. He adds, that recent pontifical pronouncements have enriched the Church's reflection on sport, placing it in its human horizon, warning against the risks of dehumanization and corruption, and promoting it as a privileged place for encounter between people and fraternity among peoples. Responsibility towards the young The Pope pointed out that the conference highlights the responsibility of adults - managers, coaches, technicians, and athletes - to uphold ethical standards and foster environments conducive to the integral development of children and young people. "Their conscience formed in human values is decisive for creating healthy and formative sports environments, preventing any diseducational attitude and any form of abuse, especially against minors and the most vulnerable," he says. Finally, he invites participants to go beyond the boundaries of athletics and to contemplate "sports beyond sports," by giving value to the ethical, social, cultural, political, and spiritual dimensions of sportsmanship, and recognizing its potential as a driver for positive societal change.

In 1966, aged 30, Saint Laurent rekindled his love of North Africa during a visit to Marrakesh. He began to travel to Morocco twice a year – in December and June – to design his collections, often inspired by the vibrant colours of the city. In 1980, Saint Laurent purchased his first Moroccan property in Marrakesh, the Villa Oasis, which has now been transformed into a museum celebrating his life and career. Seventeen years later, the designer purchased a hilltop villa in Tangier overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The property became a holiday home, a sanctuary of peace and an inspiration for many of his collections. Today, this design sanctuary, named Villa Mabrouka, is open to the public after being purchased by Jasper Conran. The British fashion designer, whose love for interiors runs deep, has restored the 1940s house, transforming it into a 12-suite hotel with glorious ocean views. Surrounded by enchanting gardens, the house has retained many of the design details introduced by Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge, who co-founded fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, but Conran has elevated it to become a luxury destination. One step through Villa Mabrouka’s heavy carved wooden doors and into the gardens, you are immediately transported to the feeling of being in paradise,” Conran says. “I wanted to add my own lifetime of thoughts and expressions in a complementary way.” Saint Laurent and Berge worked with French interior designer Jacques Grange for the original design, combining traditional Moroccan architecture with lush gardens and greenery. Curved archways and high ceilings stand out against the geometric exterior, creating a unique appearance.Conran’s redesign has embraced the clean-lined simplicity of the house’s 1940s modernist architecture, combining it with the quiet eccentricity of an English country house and a touch of the romance and magic of the Riviera’s early 20th-century golden era of travel. His own contemporary taste for refined understatement and exquisite craftsmanship can also be seen throughout. The designer invested extensively in the modernisation of Villa Mabrouka’s infrastructure. Upgraded roofing, electrics, plumbing and underground services have elevated the property to the standard expected of luxury boutique hotels today. He has also added new guest rooms, garden cottages and restaurants. The three dining destinations feature menus that emphasise the use of fresh ingredients infused with unique blends of Moroccan spices. A new rooftop terrace, coffee bar, second swimming pool and a hammam complete the property, as well as dining pavilions available for private hire. Guests will appreciate the well-thought-out interiors, including soft furnishings and linens in a chic colour palette of caramel, emerald and rose, decorated with block-printed florals and Fez embroideries. Locally handmade glazed clay tiles are used throughout, complemented by ancient Roman mosaics and 16th-century Andalusian tiles. Italian Murano glass chandeliers decorate archways, and beamed ceilings and monochromatic marble floors give a nod to Saint Laurent’s original design aesthetic. Conran has added his own touch with the addition of flowing voile curtains, intricate fretwork, brass hardware and veined marble, as well as rattan wall panels, headboards and furniture. Mother-of-pearl inlaid mirrors and side tables, and Mauritanian leather and reed rugs complete the look. The light, airy rooms feel relaxed and vibrant thanks to their whitewashed walls and sweeping terraces. Outside is a wonder of its own as guests can discover the villa’s diverse greenery. Conran has undertaken a vast restoration and replanting programme, adding more than 6,500 new plants, shrubs and trees to the property’s gardens. Sweeping lawns, banana palms, ferns, bamboo, citrus trees, hollyhocks, roses and bougainvillea offer a natural sanctuary of calm around the hotel grounds. Villa Mabrouka opened for business in July and is the perfect destination for a relaxing escape, as Conran intended. “I want Villa Mabrouka to feel deeply personal, like staying in a home rather than a hotel, reflecting the way I personally like to live, the things that I enjoy and the appreciation of beautifully made things. I want it to be a place where you can spend time taking in the beauty of everything around you https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/luxury/2024/02/13/jasper-conran-luxury-villa-yves-saint-laurent/

The overall wealth of the 350 richest in the list is greater than the gross domestic product of Poland, but the number of billionaires in the UK has dropped. While some leave, others join - among them Sir Paul McCartney, who is now Britain's first musician in the billionaire club. The personal fortune of the prime minister and his wife Akshata Murty has soared by more than £120m over the past year - to a total of £651m, according to the newspaper's calculations.In contrast, the King's wealth grew from £600m to £610m over the same period. However, The Sunday Times claimed the UK's mega rich are dwindling and that Britain's "billionaire boom has come to an end". Published on Friday, the list reveals the largest fall in billionaires in the guide's history - from a peak of 177 in 2022 to 165 this year. While the combined wealth of the list's 350 wealthiest individuals amounts to more than £795bn - larger than the gross domestic product (GDP) of Poland - the guide's compiler says time will tell what impact a drop in billionaires could have. Latest updates from the Sky News Money blog Follow Sky News on WhatsApp Follow Sky News on WhatsApp Keep up with all the latest news from the UK and around the world by following Sky News Tap here "This year's Sunday Times Rich List suggests Britain's billionaire boom has come to an end," Robert Watts said. Advertisement "Many of our home-grown entrepreneurs have seen their fortunes fall and some of the global super rich who came here are moving away. "Thousands of British livelihoods rely on the super-rich to some extent. We'll have to wait and see whether we have now reached peak billionaire, and what that means for our economy." Top of the list is British-Indian businessman Gopi Hinduja and his family, whose wealth of £37.2bn is the largest fortune in the ranking's history. But other familiar names in the list saw their riches fall, with Sir Richard Branson's total dropping by £2.4bn, which is back to his 2000 level. Last year's top climber Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who bought a stake in Manchester United this year, fell two positions with a decline of £6.1bn. Among those falling out of the billionaire club is Stephen Fitzpatrick, who owns OVO, one of the biggest energy firms in the UK. The Sunday Times reports he made a £1.3bn loss since last year, while his shares in his flying taxi venture are down 60%. Read more: Recession is over - but will voters forgive government? Interest rate held for sixth consecutive month Joining the list of billionaires is Sir Paul McCartney, who has become the first UK musician to achieve that status after boosting his wealth by £50m. This came after a year of touring and the lucrative value of his back catalogue, along with covers by Beyonce. The biggest riser came in the form of the Barnaby and Merlin Swire family, whose 200-year-old business made £8.8bn. "These may be harder times to create wealth, but The Sunday Times Rich List continues to unearth entrepreneurs building fortunes in diverse and often surprising ways," Mr Watts said. "This year's new entries include people who have made money from artificial intelligence and virtual worlds as well as plumbing supplies and teaching aides." Euan Blair, Tony Blair's eldest son, made the list for the first time, as did Sir Lewis Hamilton. It comes as the UK continues to deal with a cost-of-living crisis, with new figures this week revealing a record 3.1 million food bank parcels were distributed over the course of a year. The top 10: 1. Gopi Hinduja - £37.2bn 2. Sir Leonard Blavtanik - £29.2bn 3. David and Simon Reuben and family - £24.9bn 4. Sir Jim Ratcliffe - £23.5bn 5. Sir James Dyson and family - £20.8bn 6. Barnaby and Merlin Swire and family - £17.2bn 7. Idan Ofer - £14.9bn 8. Lakshmi Mittal and family - £14.9bn 9. Guy, George, Alannah and Galen Weston and family - £14.4bn 10.

new iPad Pro and iPad Air models launch Wednesday. I’ve been testing the new iPad Pro for several days, and what I found is that it’s a very nice iPad. This is an important launch for Apple. Earlier this month, the company reported a 16% year-over-year drop in iPad revenue for its fiscal second quarter. Apple hasn’t rolled out a new iPad since October 2022. The new iPad Pro is fast, with the latest M4 chip, and it has a new OLED display that’s more colorful than prior screens. It’s the thinnest product Apple has ever launched. But it still runs the same iPad software, and that’s starting to feel dated. The fully loaded model I tested costs about $2,499. That’s before you add the $350 keyboard and $129 Apple Pencil Pro, which will help you get more out of the device. It’s time Apple makes this more than just an iPad. The software, called iPadOS, needs to catch up to the hardware. Here’s what you need to know about it. The new iPad Pros cost $200 more than the models they replaced. I tested the larger 13-inch iPad Pro, which starts at $1,299 before storage and 5G upgrades. The 11-inch model starts at $999. The first thing I noticed when I picked it up was its thinness. It’s noticeable compared with the M1 iPad Pro I’ve used for the past several years. And it’s lighter. That’s especially nice on the 13-inch model, which replaces the 12.9-inch version. I always thought it felt too heavy and clunky to use as a tablet. It still feels big, but it’s more manageable. The new OLED screen is another highlight. It’s clear and super colorful. It’s similar to the OLED screen Apple has used on its iPhone Pros for years but not on iPads. The screen adapts, getting brighter in dark movies or showing scenes with explosions. And professional video and photo editors will appreciate its color accuracy. I loved using it for movies and while playing Diablo Immortal. The game will look better once Activision Blizzard releases an update enabling improved graphics for the M4 iPad Pro. The four stereo speakers sound nice and loud but not tinny. The camera is finally in the right place. It’s along the landscape edge of the iPad so that, when it’s propped up, it’s dead center for FaceTime calls. It used to be on the top of the iPad, forcing that awkward glance to the side during video calls. The quality was nice and clear during my tests, and I like that the camera, using the Center Stage feature, followed me as I moved around the room. The iPad has the latest and greatest M4 chip, which hasn’t launched on Macs yet. I ran a GeekBench multicore benchmark test that shows it scoring 48% higher than the prior M2 iPad Pro. Apple promises up to 4x faster rendering over the M2 and 1.5x faster processor performance, which means video editing in Final Cut Pro for iPad and rendering things like 3D models is quicker for professionals who need it. The M4 also has a special engine that helps power the “Tandem OLED” displays. Apple took a unique approach to the iPad by stacking two OLED screens on top of one another, which requires this special part of the M4 chip to work. The iPad Pro felt quick when I ran two apps side by side, switching between Slack and the web browser, or loading into games. Apps switch in an instant. It wasn’t much different from my M1 iPad for everyday stuff, like browsing the web and opening apps, which seems to be how iPads are mostly used. More on that in the next section. The new iPad Pros support Apple’s updated $350 Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (the 11-inch version is $300). It’s awesome and is just like typing on a Mac with a full function row above the number keys to switch apps, adjust the volume or brightness and more. Apple added a much larger trackpad and an aluminum palm rest but kept the same soft outside and “floating” screen mechanism, which allows you to snap the iPad onto the case using its magnetic pins and tilt it back and forth.The updated Apple Pencil Pro is also a lot of fun. I mostly use the Apple Pencil to sign documents. But folks who draw or paint on their iPads, or need more control in 3D or video apps, will like the new features. I liked squeezing it to change between the tool — pencil or brush or eraser and the color — and the haptic pulse to confirm you’ve squeezed it. Developers can add the squeeze function to their apps so you can access different tools in different apps. The added gyroscope also allows you to tilt and twirl the pencil to change your pencil or pen stroke. Double tap is convenient, too, allowing you to switch between a pencil and eraser tool, for example. The hover function previews where you’re going to touch the display. Apple promises the same battery life as the last iPad Pros. So you get about 10 hours of web browsing or watching video, or nine hours if you’re browsing the web on a cellular connection. That lined up with what I received during my tests. Expect to get a full workday of use. Still, it’s impressive given this iPad is 1.3mm thinner and 103 grams lighter than the last 12.9-inch iPad Pro. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/13/apple-ipad-pro-2024-review-price-specs-release-date.html

In this comprehensive overview, we delve into the world of GTA V, exploring its vibrant setting, compelling characters, and the myriad activities that await players in the crime-filled streets of San Andreas.At the heart of GTA V lies the fictional state of San Andreas, a sprawling and diverse landscape that serves as the backdrop for the game's action.

It’s been a busy start to the year, with the first three months of 2024 offering up a plethora of quality new video games. April doesn’t appear to be bucking that trend as the next few weeks will see plenty of hotly anticipated new titles arrive on PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X and PC. This month will see a pair of po[CENSORED]r games that had been Xbox exclusives make the jump over to PlayStation and Nintendo. And if that wasn’t enough excitement for PS5 gamers, there’s also a brand new exclusive in the form of Stellar Blade. Plus, sports fans will be thrilled to see the return of the TopSpin franchise, and RPG lovers aren’t being neglected either as Sand Land arrives towards the end of the month and looks like an excellent time sink. If you fancy getting stuck into a new video game this month, you’ll be spoilt for choice. So, let's jump into all the biggest games set to release in April 2024…Grounded is a survival experience that plays like a video game version of the movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.” You play a protagonist who’s been shrunk down to the size of an insect and sets out on a journey across an overgrown backyard to find supplies, build a suitable shelter and face off against the garden’s many inhabitants including spiders and bees. Designed to be played either in single-player or up to four-player co-op, Grounded was originally released in a relatively rough early access form in the summer of 2020 on Xbox and PC, but has been polished over the past four years. Its arrival on PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch comes with all the improvements made during that period. It’s a very fun, but somewhat repetitive, co-op adventure. And don’t worry if you suffer from arachnophobia — there’s an option to make the spiders less hairy.Based on the Japanese manga series of the same name, which was created by the legendary Akira Toriyama who sadly passed away at the start of March, Sand Land is a colorful RPG set in a vast desert world where both humans and demons must scavenge for a vey precious resource: water. You play Prince Beelzebub who ventures out on a quest, alongside a loyal party, to find the Legendary Spring which is said to be hidden somewhere in the sand dunes. You’ll have to watch out for the many dangers along your journey, including fierce wildlife and the powerful Royal Army. But you’ve got powerful vehicles at your disposal to help even the odds against the world’s most dangerous threats. Ranging from a zippy motorbike to a destructive battle tank, you can upgrade your vehicles to make even them more powerful. Plus, when you’re not facing off against foes, you can build relationships with the world’s inhabitants and develop your base camp in the city of Spino to grow its capabilities and unlock new quests. Developed by Korean studio Shift Up, published by Sony and arriving exclusively on PS5, Stellar Blade could be one of April’s biggest hits. Described by director Hyung Tae Kim as a narrative-driven action-adventure game, Stellar Blade is set on a future Earth overrun by creatures known as the Naytiba with the remnants of humanity now living on an off-world colony. You play Eve, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad, sent to Earth on a mission to reclaim the planet from the forces that have devastated it. You’ll do this by eliminating the Naytiba through fast-paced combat, unlocking new moves and upgrades along the way. But Stellar Blade isn’t just about intense combat: Its main story also takes a focus as you piece together the mysteries of the past and soon realize that your mission to reclaim Earth may not be exactly what it seems.Sea of Thieves has weathered choppy waters since its launch on Xbox One and PC back in March 2018, but over the last seven years, it’s become a remarkable pirate simulator that lets you and your friends sail the high seas in search of loot to plunder and other ships to sink. After more content updates than we can count, it’s setting sail to the PS5 platform this month, and it will mark the very first time developer Rare has launched a game on PlayStation. With full crossplay enabled across all three systems, Sea of Thieves will have a very active community right out of the gate, and it’s a must-play even for landlubbers. https://www.tomsguide.com/gaming/5-biggest-new-games-launching-in-april-2024-for-ps5-nintendo-switch-xbox-and-pc

This crucial data will provide a vital overview of overall health or warning signs of potential areas of concern,” Withings President and founder Éric Carreel said in today’s press release. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/withings-beamo-cool-health-gadget-ces-2024-news/

In a recent interaction on X, Elon Musk confirmed that the long-standing steering wheel nag, designed to ensure driver attentiveness, would be removed in FSD v12.4. Musk initially replied to a user on X claiming that FSD v12.4 would fix the steering wheel nag. However, it wasn't clear what Musk meant by fixed until user, Farzad, created another post stating that Musk insinuated that the nag would be removed in FSD v12.4, to which Musk replied with “Yes.” Tesla's removal of the steering wheel nag isn't surprising, as Tesla's camera-based driver monitoring system in the vehicle can in theory do a much better job monitoring the driver's attentiveness. So before NHTSA has a heart attack with Musk's comment, it's important to understand that Tesla is likely improving cabin camera monitoring in this same update to the point that the steering wheel nag becomes redundant. How Tesla Uses the Cabin Camera Tesla uses the cabin camera to detect whether a driver is paying attention to the road by detecting whether their eyes are open, which way their head is facing, and even whether the driver is using their phone. Thanks to Tesla hacker Greentheonly, we know Tesla uses the vehicle’s interior camera output and AI to determine the likelihood of each scenario they're looking for. For example, Tesla runs neural networks that look at the video feed of the cabin camera and determine whether the driver is looking up at the road, looking off to the side, or looking down. This Won't be the End of the Steering Wheel Nag While Musk's statement implies the removal of the steering wheel nag, Tesla will probably retain it as a fallback measure, at least in early iterations of the suspected improved camera-based monitoring system. The steering wheel nag may still be used when the cabin camera can't confidently determine whether the driver is paying attention. This could be caused by sunglasses, hats, glare, or even driving at night. Newer Teslas include interior infrared lights that help the camera see in the dark, although not all Teslas on the road include infrared lights. https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/2020/tesla-to-eliminate-the-steering-wheel-nag-in-fsd-v12-4-vehicles-supported-and-release-date

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas has now come to a close, and as the HotHardware team make its way back home, it's time to reflect. This year we saw a plethora of new tech, from artificial intelligence applications to laptops, desktops, and displays, amidst so much more. Truthfully, it's hard to catch all the announcements and see all of the exhibits between live showings, keynotes, various venues and the show floor. However, we have determined the best-of-show that we think you should be aware with CES 2024 behind us.2024 might just be the year NPCs get better artificial intelligence, and NVIDIA is planning to capitalize on that opportunity. One of the coolest AI applications we came across was the Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE), which had been mentioned previously at Computex 2023. This is a collaboration between NVIDIA and startup Convai, wherein developers can integrate cloud-based generative AI into their games to enhance NPC conversations to mimic that of the real world. Take a look at the demo we got to see live in the video below, and let us know what you think of the tech: Lenovo always has some cool stuff to show off, and this year was no different. With its latest ThinkBook announcements the company came out swinging this CES. The first of these is the ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, a laptop that effectively includes an Android tablet and packs in portability, functionality, and artificial intelligence prowess. If you thought the Lenovo dual-display laptop of yesteryear’s CES was wild, you'll probably dig this one. In short, this laptop is powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and Intel Arc graphics, but it has a 14” 2.8K OLED display that can be detached and used as an Android tablet powered by a Qualcomm processor and a separate battery. Attached the notebook to an external display, and you can use both devices at the same time. Going a more traditional route but cool nonetheless, the Lenovo Thinkbook 13x Gen 4 is an ultra-thin and ultra-light laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra Processors, Intel Arc Graphics, up to 32GB of 8400Mhz LPDDR5x RAM, and some impressive I/O. It also has a whopping 74-WHr battery, which Lenovo claims can drive this laptop for up to 21 hours of video playback, 11.4 hours of web browsing, or 8.2 hours of conference calls. Dell had a couple of really cool announcements, but its new Ultrasharp displays were definitely stand-outs. There is a 40” WUHD display in the Ultrasharp line-up, but that is going to be over the top for most folks. The 34” Ultrasharp U3425WE, however, hits the sweet spot. This is a WQHD (3440x1440) display boasting a 120Hz refresh rate, 99% DCI-P3 coverage, and an IPS Black panel that delivers a 2000:1 contrast ratio. Further, it features a built-in Thunderbolt 4 Hub, which can deliver 90W of power and includes: https://hothardware.com/news/hothardware-best-of-ces-2024-top-products

s new iPad Pro and iPad Air models launch Wednesday. I’ve been testing the new iPad Pro for several days, and what I found is that it’s a very nice iPad. This is an important launch for Apple. Earlier this month, the company reported a 16% year-over-year drop in iPad revenue for its fiscal second quarter. Apple hasn’t rolled out a new iPad since October 2022. The new iPad Pro is fast, with the latest M4 chip, and it has a new OLED display that’s more colorful than prior screens. It’s the thinnest product Apple has ever launched. But it still runs the same iPad software, and that’s starting to feel dated. The fully loaded model I tested costs about $2,499. That’s before you add the $350 keyboard and $129 Apple Pencil Pro, which will help you get more out of the device. It’s time Apple makes this more than just an iPad. The software, called iPadOS, needs to catch up to the hardware. Here’s what you need to know about it.The new iPad Pros cost $200 more than the models they replaced. I tested the larger 13-inch iPad Pro, which starts at $1,299 before storage and 5G upgrades. The 11-inch model starts at $999. The first thing I noticed when I picked it up was its thinness. It’s noticeable compared with the M1 iPad Pro I’ve used for the past several years. And it’s lighter. That’s especially nice on the 13-inch model, which replaces the 12.9-inch version. I always thought it felt too heavy and clunky to use as a tablet. It still feels big, but it’s more manageable. The new OLED screen is another highlight. It’s clear and super colorful. It’s similar to the OLED screen Apple has used on its iPhone Pros for years but not on iPads. The screen adapts, getting brighter in dark movies or showing scenes with explosions. And professional video and photo editors will appreciate its color accuracy. I loved using it for movies and while playing Diablo Immortal. The game will look better once Activision Blizzard releases an update enabling improved graphics for the M4 iPad Pro. The four stereo speakers sound nice and loud but not tinny. The camera is finally in the right place. It’s along the landscape edge of the iPad so that, when it’s propped up, it’s dead center for FaceTime calls. It used to be on the top of the iPad, forcing that awkward glance to the side during video calls. The quality was nice and clear during my tests, and I like that the camera, using the Center Stage feature, followed me as I moved around the room. The iPad has the latest and greatest M4 chip, which hasn’t launched on Macs yet. I ran a GeekBench multicore benchmark test that shows it scoring 48% higher than the prior M2 iPad Pro. Apple promises up to 4x faster rendering over the M2 and 1.5x faster processor performance, which means video editing in Final Cut Pro for iPad and rendering things like 3D models is quicker for professionals who need it. The M4 also has a special engine that helps power the “Tandem OLED” displays. Apple took a unique approach to the iPad by stacking two OLED screens on top of one another, which requires this special part of the M4 chip to work. The iPad Pro felt quick when I ran two apps side by side, switching between Slack and the web browser, or loading into games. Apps switch in an instant. It wasn’t much different from my M1 iPad for everyday stuff, like browsing the web and opening apps, which seems to be how iPads are mostly used. More on that in the next section. The new iPad Pros support Apple’s updated $350 Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (the 11-inch version is $300). It’s awesome and is just like typing on a Mac with a full function row above the number keys to switch apps, adjust the volume or brightness and more. Apple added a much larger trackpad and an aluminum palm rest but kept the same soft outside and “floating” screen mechanism, which allows you to snap the iPad onto the case using its magnetic pins and tilt it back and forth.The updated Apple Pencil Pro is also a lot of fun. I mostly use the Apple Pencil to sign documents. But folks who draw or paint on their iPads, or need more control in 3D or video apps, will like the new features. I liked squeezing it to change between the tool — pencil or brush or eraser and the color — and the haptic pulse to confirm you’ve squeezed it. Developers can add the squeeze function to their apps so you can access different tools in different apps. The added gyroscope also allows you to tilt and twirl the pencil to change your pencil or pen stroke. Double tap is convenient, too, allowing you to switch between a pencil and eraser tool, for example. The hover function previews where you’re going to touch the display. Apple promises the same battery life as the last iPad Pros. So you get about 10 hours of web browsing or watching video, or nine hours if you’re browsing the web on a cellular connection. That lined up with what I received during my tests. Expect to get a full workday of use. Still, it’s impressive given this iPad is 1.3mm thinner and 103 grams lighter than the last 12.9-inch iPad Pro.Here’s my biggest gripe about the Pro models: The software, iPadOS, is what you’ll get on any other iPad. And while I think it works great, it’s time for the Pro models to have a better operating system. My guess is Apple has something big planned for next month’s Worldwide Developers Conference, and I hope it addresses this. I probably won’t get my wish, but I’d love to see the iPad Pro act just like a Mac. Plop it into the keyboard and it turns into a touchscreen MacBook. Lift it off and use it like a regular iPad. It has a newer processor than Apple’s MacBooks, so this should be possible if it’s something Apple wants. Regardless, we need better multitasking. Apple’s “Stage Manager” feature was supposed to make it easier to run multiple apps and switch between them, but it’s still too confusing and clunky. Apps should open in separate windows and minimize just like on a Mac. And, since the M-series processors also power Macs, we should be able to run Mac apps, too. Apple talked a lot about artificial intelligence when it announced the new iPads. But, most of the AI is what Apple has previously called machine learning. A lot of that stuff happens behind the scenes. The camera can take multiple pictures of a document and scan it more accurately, for example. AI can isolate backgrounds in Final Cut Pro or generate music in apps such as StaffPad. Apple CEO Tim Cook has said he’ll talk about generative AI during WWDC in June, so there are likely more features coming. Last, I wish the iPad Pro supported an always-on display like Apple’s iPhone Pro. It would let me glance at the iPad to see notifications, music, widgets and more. However, the iPad’s screen refresh rate bottoms out at 10hz instead of 1hz, which means it would still refresh too often and drain more power.It depends on what you need. It’s my favorite iPad to date, even though I don’t need the faster chip. I love how thin it is and that it’s lighter than the earlier iPads. The updated keyboard is great. The new Apple Pencil Pro works well, but creatives will use it more than I do. I still think the 13-inch is a little too big and would steer most folks to the 11-inch model. If you don’t care about needing all the speed, you should consider the new iPad Air, which costs less and also comes with a bigger 13-inch screen. If you just need a tablet to browse the web, play games and check email, get the $350 iPad. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/13/apple-ipad-pro-2024-review-price-specs-release-date.html
