【iPad】

1. Apple released the macOS Sequoia 15.1 public beta, featuring Apple Intelligence updates like Writing Tools, AI-powered Focus modes, and smart replies. Siri has been redesigned with new capabilities. These features require an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, or M-series Mac/iPad.

2. Apple is unlikely to launch the iPad 11 this year, as indicated by recent price adjustments for the iPad 10 and the release of an iPad mini. The iPad 10, with a 10.9-inch display and A14 Bionic chip, was released in October 2022.

3. The iPad mini 7 and entry-level iPads sold in Europe no longer include a charger, aligning with EU regulations on electronic waste. Prices have been reduced in Europe and the UK.

4. The new iPad mini 7 features an A17 Pro chip with a 5-core GPU, unlike the iPhone 15 Pro's 6-core GPU, due to a chip binning process. It offers improved performance over the previous model with 8GB of RAM.

【Mac】

1. Apple's supply chain is preparing for new MacBook Pro models with M4 chips expected this month. These Macs may feature increased RAM and additional Thunderbolt ports, with no major design changes.

2. CleanMyMac has been redesigned with a new interface and expanded tools, including Mac health reports and storage management. It is available via subscription or one-time purchase, with future updates planned for 2025.

【Vision Pro】

1. Surgeons at UCSD are using the Apple Vision Pro in surgeries, finding it transformative due to its high-resolution displays. The headset allows real-time viewing of CT scans and vitals, improving comfort and efficiency for surgeons.
