In this week's episode of the AppleInsider Podcast, your hosts are looking to the future of AI, delving into the past with emulators on the App Store, and diving into the present with the new iPad Pro now that it and the iPad Air are in users' hands.

After two years waiting, the iPad Pro and iPad Air have been updated -- and buyers are getting them. Wes Hilliard went almost, but not quite, maxed-out on an iPad Pro and he's had just enough time to know he's pleased with it, and to settle a debate about the nanotexture option.
Just because we have new devices at last, that doesn't mean we aren't still looking to what's coming next. That's perhaps particularly true now as WWDC 2024 nears and all signs are that AI is going to change -- if not everything, then at least a lot.
Hopefully including Siri.
Plus if we are all waiting impatiently for the future, we're also prone to hankering for the past. And now we have the chance to explore favorite old games with what turn out to be the many, many emulators on the App Store.
