Everyone has that one friend who can’t hold on to a phone, computer, or iPod long enough to wear it out before they break it by means that are difficult for most of us to understand. There’s no reason to go through four phones in a year simply because you broke them all, right? Well, some folks are more accident-prone than others and while we may not understand how they break all of their electronics, we can get behind protective measures that might help curtail damaging accidents. If your clumsy friend has a shiny new iPad, or you are that “friend,” take a look at the new G-Form iPad Extreme Sleeve ($60). As you can tell simply by its looks, this sleeve is hardcore. The iPad Extreme Sleeve has a simple design with zip-top closure, but packs protection in the extreme-looking exterior, which is available in black or shocking yellow. In addition to a design made for iPad users on the go, the sleeve is lightweight, flexible, and water-resistant. If you aren’t embarrassed by its shock-resistant looks, we bet this sleeve will keep your iPad safe and sound, even if you drop it.

The iPad (2022) in its yellow color.

Apple has had a busy year on the iPad front. Just last week, the company announced the iPad mini (2024). In the spring, it launched next-generation versions of the iPad Air (2024) and iPad Pro (2024). The entry-level iPad is the only model that hasn’t been refreshed this year — and it probably won’t be.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple won’t announce a new regular-sized iPad until 2025. As such, we’ll probably see the 11th-generation iPad arrive in the first half of the year alongside the long-rumored iPhone SE 4 and next-generation iPad Air versions.

Proportional comparison of blue iPad mini 2024 beside yellow iPad 2022.

After a three-year wait, Apple has finally breathed some new life into its smaller iPad mini. While fans of the new 8.3-inch tablet may be disappointed by the lack of changes on the outside, it’s what’s under the hood that counts, and the 2024 iPad mini packs plenty of power into a tiny frame.

It’s an update that leapfrogs Apple’s entry-level full-sized iPad (2022) in every way except for its price tag. This part raises the most important question: Is the two-year-old iPad a worthwhile purchase for its larger screen, or is it worth paying $150 more to work on a smaller canvas? Let’s dive in and see if the trade-offs are worth it.

2024 iPad mini in the hands of a person.

The iPad mini (2024) has only just arrived on the market, but news about the next version is already starting to leak. The latest nugget is good news for everyone except perhaps those who just bought the newest model. According to display expert Ross Young, Apple’s next iPad mini will feature an OLED display. Like previous versions, the current iPad mini has an 8.3-inch LCD.

An OLED display, which is tech that is already available on the iPad Pro (2024) and newer iPhones, offers increased brightness, deeper blacks, and better power efficiency than LCD.
