Along with the Bluetooth-enabled iA100 dock, iHome showed a slim iPad case with built-in speakers, a color-changing dock for the iPod/iPhone, and a portable iPad speaker/dock.

The iD M70 faux-leather iPad case (above) functions as a 6-position stand and uses patented NXT flat panel stereo speakers for a thin-profile case that packs a serious volume punch for the package. The case has a secure closure, openings for easy access to any needed iPad ports, and a built-in USB cable to charge the speakers’ lithium ion battery. The case will retail for $99.

The iA17 iPod/iPhone docking station features a color-changing orb-shaped design that allows lights to pulse to the music or function as part of your alarm. The dock works with the company’s free iHome + Sleep app, which gives users more features and increased control over alarm clock and wake functions. The iA17 includes a remote control and has a line-in function for playing music from other devices.

The iD9 is a portable and rechargeable dock designed with the iPad in mind. The sleek docking station charges and plays iPad, iPhone, and iPod and also works with the free iHome + Sleep app as well as the paid iHome + Radio app. The device has a rechargeable lithium ion battery and docks the iPad in most skins and cases.

Here’s every iPhone and iPad that supports Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro.

Apple's WWDC 2024 keynote was one of the biggest ones that the company had made in years. During this keynote, the company showed us what we'd be getting in iOS 18, which includes some big user-requested features like more home screen customization, RCS messaging support, and more. But that's not all — this is the first iOS that brings AI into the iPhone with Apple Intelligence.

Apple Intelligence, as Apple calls it, is a powerful suite of AI tools that will help make your life even easier. From new writing tools and summarization features to image generation and the ability to create unique emojis, Apple Intelligence definitely looks impressive.

My first week with the iPad mini (2024) was fantastic and frustrating

Rear shell view of the 2024 iPad mini.

The iPad mini is arguably the most polarizing product in Apple’s portfolio. There’s a segment of die-hard fans that would pick it over any other device in its class, and then there’s another group that can’t quite figure out what exactly it can deliver in terms of meaningful utility.

Reading? Check. Is it good for note-taking? It’s probably the world’s best little diary. What about gaming? It can blaze past the best titles out there. All that excellence can be yours for a cool $500, at the very minimum.
