Apple iPad (A16 Chip) Sees Another Drop, Catch a Falling Star at a Record Low Near AirPods Pro Pricing - Kotaku

The A16 iPad sits in the perfect spot between elite-level features and great price. It easily outperforms other accessibly priced tablets, working smoothly and reliably for games, streaming, and everyday productivity chores like email and browsing. And it does it without the hefty price tag of the top-tier tables which may deliver more of a laptop-like performance, but at a laptop-level price. Not too expensive, not too chintzy with the features - it's just right.

Apple Music vs. Spotify: I tested both music streaming services, and my choice is clear

Spotify and Apple Music are two of the leading music streaming services, popular for their vast music libraries. Beyond the music, however, Apple Music offers subscribers access to the company's live studio performances, radio interviews, and music videos, while Spotify's additional subscription perks lean heavily into audiobooks and podcasts. Unlike Apple's hardware devices, Apple Music doesn't block many features to Android users, unless their device doesn't support Dolby Atmos. Otherwise, Android users can experience a robust Apple Music experience.

Expanding Swift from Apps to Services

As a high-level description, Swift is an ahead-of-time compiled, memory-safe, multi-paradigm programming language. Swift uses reference counting for memory management instead of garbage collection, and has recently added support for limited lifetime analysis. Finally, Swift leans heavily on types with value semantics by leveraging copy-on-write. This enables powerful local reasoning, as value types are either mutable or shared, but not both.
