If we’re to believe all the information gathered up until this point, the models line up pretty well. The slimmer body with tapered edges, dual cameras, and seemingly enhanced backside speaker grill are there. However, the photos don’t offer a look at an SD slot or USB port.

The images come from DGtle, which mentions it’s only pretty sure this is the real thing. Aside from its thinner design, the second generation and original Apple tablet are nearly identical. There might be something to those reports saying the iPad 3 is really the release to get excited about.

We’ve also noticed that Your Daily Apple reports that Amazon’s German site listed the iPad 2 with the alleged March 17 ship date. According to that image, the tablet will include Thunderbolt and a 1.2GHz CPU. The page has since been pulled, but take a look at the screenshot below.

Here’s how iOS 18 could change the way you use your iPhone

The lock screen on the Apple iPhone 15 Plus.

It seems the long-overdue Siri overhaul will finally arrive at WWDC in just over a week from now, and the digital assistant will embrace AI trickery in all its forms. According to Bloomberg, Apple’s planned upgrades for Siri will deeply integrate with on-device functions at the OS level and with the installed apps, too.

“The new system will allow Siri to take command of all the features within apps for the first time,” the report says. The most notable capability is that Siri will only require voice prompts to interact with apps, thanks to a major change in the AI architecture powering it and putting large language models in command, just the way Gemini or ChatGPT draw their own skills from such models.

iOS 18 may give Siri the upgrade we’ve been waiting for

Hey Siri

Apple isn’t immune from the AI craze sweeping the rest of the industry. Following the likes of Google with Gemini Nano, Apple is set to roll out AI upgrades to the iPhone with iOS 18. Code-named “Project Graymatter,” the iOS 18 update will bring a variety of AI-powered enhancements to the iPhone and Siri in particular.

According to AppleInsider, the features are being tested in advance of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and one of the biggest is called “Graymatter Catch Up.” The feature is tied to Siri, Apple’s voice assistant, which will now allow users to request and receive an AI overview of the most recent notifications.
