Apple’s Greg Joswiak and John Ternus on the new iPad lineup, why the iPad and Mac both matter, the iPad as an ‘AI PC,’ and more.
The idea that the iPad is a magical piece of glass is so Apple-esque that I’d developed a false memory of Steve Jobs describing it that way when he unveiled the first one in 2010.

Every Met Gala has some sort of controversy, whether it’s about the dress code and theme, the guest list, or a now-infamous brawl in an elevator at an afterparty. Because this is 2024, it’s only fitting that the outrage began this year because of a TikTok audio track.
