By Amir Iliaifar Published October 10, 2011

It’s been a long time coming, but the new Facebook app for the iPad is finally here. The app is now available to download for free from the iTunes app store, however at this time it is only available to some users, but should be available to everyone as soon as it fully rolls out on all Apple’s servers.

Along with all the standard features you would expect from a Facebook app like chat, notifications, search, status updates, and messaging , the new Facebook app for iPad takes full advantage of the larger screen real estate. Photos are larger and take up a big portion of the screen, you can even play Facebook games in full-screen mode now.

Apple’s cheapest iPad might finally catch up on performance

The 2026 iPad is all about performance — not design

Apple's entry-level iPad has always been about value, but performance wasn't its strongest suit. The company's Pro models offered much higher horsepower with their M-series chips.

But the 2026 iPad might finally be getting the boost it needs.

Apple apparently has a new entry-level iPad ready for launch in a few months

Apple's entry-level iPad is getting a long-overdue chip leap — and this time, it brings Apple Intelligence along for the ride.

Apple’s most affordable iPad is gearing up for a meaningful refresh in a few months. This time, it looks like the changes run deeper than a simple silicon upgrade.

According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company has been on track since last year to launch a refreshed entry-level iPad in the first half of 2026, within the iOS 26.4 release timeframe, which runs until May 2026.

Android tablets and foldables are getting an utterly useful Chrome upgrade

Chrome's new bookmarks bar finally brings Android tablets the one desktop browsing feature power users never knew they were missing.

Google is rolling out a bookmarks bar for Chrome users on Android tablets and foldables (basically, large-screen devices) with Chrome version 146. The feature might sound familiar, as it has been available on Chrome for desktop for years.

As seen on desktop, the bookmarks bar appears below the omnibox, spanning the full width of the screen and showcasing favicons alongside site names, while a right-facing chevron handles overflow. Long-pressing a bookmark reveals its full URL.
