The iPad is kind of a computer... but kind of not. | Image: Dan Seifert / The Verge When Apple CEO Tim Cook and a bunch of his deputies take the virtual stage next week to announce new iPads‚ they’re going to spend a lot of time talking about specs. If the rumors are true‚ we’re going to get new iPad Pros with OLED screens and thinner bodies‚ new Airs with faster chips and a correctly placed front camera‚ and a couple of new accessories. Before they even launch‚ I feel confident telling you these are the best iPads ever. But after all these years‚ I still don’t know how to tell you whether you should want an iPad. Or what you’d want to do with it. This has been true forever‚ of course. The iPad is the jack-of-all-trades in Apple’s lineup‚ a terrific device in many ways that still feels increasingly redundant now that... Continue reading…

Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge The Apple Watch’s atrial fibrillation (AFib) history feature‚ which records and alerts the wearer’s relevant heart events‚ has been qualified to join the FDA’s Medical Device Development Tools (MDDT) program — a first for a “digital health technology.” That means the Apple Watch is now usable in clinical studies that need estimated data on how much time the wearer spent in atrial fibrillation while wearing the device‚ 9to5Mac reports. The FDA announcement describes using it as a noninvasive way to collect the data both before and after treatment: Designed to be used as a biomarker test to help evaluate estimates of AFib burden as a secondary effectiveness endpoint within clinical studies intended to evaluate the safety and effectiveness...

OpenAI Sam Altman finally knows when ChatGPT will get the GPT-5 upgrade‚ according to MIT Technology Review. He said &;quot;yes&;quot; when asked about it during an interview in Cambridge. But‚ of course‚ he didn't reveal the actual release date of the highly-anticipated GPT-5 upgrade. As a ChatGPT user who has been following GenAI developments closely‚ I know the GPT-5 is coming soon. Rumors say it'll happen this year. But even without leaks‚ I'd still expect OpenAI to want to upgrade ChatGPT just so it can keep up with and pass Google. I say that as the latter's Gemini 1.5 Pro update is expected to be much better than GPT-4. But I'm not even that interested in ChatGPT getting better at reasoning or faster at spewing out answers to my prompts.
