Apple’s Dropping a New Base iPad in Spring 2025

The new iPad will ship with iPadOS 18.3 right out of the box, expected to launch late January or early February. 📅✨

Of course, it’s getting Apple Intelligence support, meaning at least 8GB of RAM. Plus, a new version of the Magic Keyboard is in the works specifically for it. 🎹💻

There’s also a chance we’ll see an updated iPad Air and iPhone SE 4 announced alongside it. Stay tuned! 📱🔥

Qualcomm Drops a Stripped-Down Version of Snapdragon 8 Elite 🔥📱

After hyping up the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm quietly added a slightly less powerful version to the lineup. Notebookcheck spotted the tweak. 👀

The flagship SM8750-AB packs two high-performance Oryon Prime cores and six Performance cores. Meanwhile, the SM8750-3-AB cuts that down to just five Performance cores. Despite the difference, both chips will hit the market under the same "Snapdragon 8 Elite" branding—no suffixes, no extra labels. 🤷‍♂️

How much of a hit to performance does losing one core cause? And which "sub-flagships" will get this chip first? Qualcomm's keeping us guessing. 🤔🚀
