Apple’s 2025 iPad Pro refines rather than reinvents: a light, ultra-thin tablet with a gorgeous tandem OLED display and iPadOS 26’s new windowed multitasking. The M5 chip brings only modest gains over M4, though faster storage, fast charging, and an in-house 5G modem help. Base models include 12GB RAM, but...

A major AWS outage rippled across the internet Monday, knocking out or slowing services from Venmo, Snapchat, Canva and Fortnite and even hobbling Alexa.
