The rollout includes both the WiFi-only and Wi-Fi+3G versions of the iPad, with built-in flash storage ranging from 16 to 64 GB. Apple did not specifically announce local pricing for iPad models in the new markets; in the U.S., pricing ranges from $499 for a 16 GB WiFi-only model to $829 for a WiFi+3G model with 64 GB of storage.

The 10 accessories you need for your iPhone 16

This year's iPhone 16 models represent a whole new ballgame for Apple's iPhone lineup, with the standard iPhone 16 drawing closer than ever to the flagship iPhone 16 Pro. For the first time in three years, Apple isn't leaving any of its iPhones behind on an older A-series chip, and all the latest bells and whistles, like the new Camera Control, are available across the board.

However, getting the latest iPhone is just the start. You'll also want to — and in some cases need to — accessorize it. For most folks, the first step is protecting it in a good case. The new Camera Control button makes that trickier than usual, but the good news is that some case makers are already on it.

Consumer group sues Apple for $3.8 billion over alleged iCloud monopoly

Independent U.K. consumer rights association Which? has filed a massive legal claim of 3 billion British pounds (nearly $3.8 billion) against Apple, claiming it has breached competition law and locked its customers into its expensive iCloud cloud storage service. It says if the claim is successful, 40 million Apple device owners in the U.K could be entitled to money back.

If you haven’t heard of Which? before, it’s made up of two different companies. The Consumers Association, is a charity that campaigns for the protection of consumers and the understanding of consumer issues while also working to ensure businesses meet the law. The second company is Which? Limited, a website producing content and services around products to help people choose what’s best for them.
