New iPad (2019) is out now at an affordable price

Apple’s latest iPad – which for clarity we’re calling the new iPad (2019) – is in stores as of today (September 30), and by Apple standards it’s rather affordable.

Available now from Apple and elsewhere, it starts at $329 / £349 / AU$529 for a model with 32GB of storage, rising to $429 / £449 / AU$689 for 128GB of storage.

If you haven’t read up on the new iPad (2019) already, those prices and storage sizes should give you a hint that this isn’t a high-end slate; but then not everyone needs a high-end tablet, and you're still getting a decent amount for your money.

Bigger and better, but only slightly

It has a larger 10.2-inch screen than its predecessor with smaller bezels, and it supports both the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard (though these of course are sold separately).

Its A10 Fusion chipset, meanwhile, should offer reasonable if not top-end power, but it lacks Face ID, coming as it does with an older design than the likes of the iPad Pro 11 (2018), featuring a home button and Touch ID.

We haven’t put the new iPad (2019) through our full review process yet, but in our hands-on review we concluded that it’s a fairly minor refresh, although one that comes in at a decent price. So it could be worth a look if you want iPadOS on a budget, and with a bigger screen than the iPad mini (2019).

If you’ve already pre-ordered the slate it should be with you today (or already if you're reading this after September 30), and if you haven't pre-ordered you can now pick one up immediately; if you’re not in a hurry, though, you might still want to wait for our full verdict on the affordable new iPad.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more. But CEO Brett Caine said this is the first time the company is moving into commerce. While sports and concerts tickets might not be a booming market right now, Caine suggested that the company is actually seeing increased purchasing activity “in and around the Airship platform” as businesses try to drive more in-app purchases. He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
