For the first time since the iPad was introduced in 2010, Apple didn’t update the lineup at all in 2023. That’s right, not a single model in the now-sprawling lineup was updated, not even a modest spec bump.

But Apple is going to make up for that in 2024. Big changes are afoot. Here’s what to expect from iPad next year.

Also in today’s newsletter:

  • The Apple Watch ban is still on, after the Biden administration declined to step in with a veto. Apple’s still pushing, though.

  • It’s very interesting to watch women’s reactions to men who use Android … see what happens in the X (tweet) below.

  • Steve Jobs received some bad news that enraged him on this day in 1982.

It was a good lesson. It taught me to never get too excited about things like that, since the media is a circus anyway.
