There are not one, not two, not three, but four new Pixel phones coming, plus earbuds and a smartwatch. It's a good time to be a Pixel fan.

Although Apple’s tablet lineup has undergone several shakeups over the last several years, we long considered the ninth-gen iPad to be the best budget iPad you could get. That changed when Apple dropped the price of the 10th-gen iPad to a more sensible $349 and discontinued its entry-level model.
