 Amp allows users to launch their own live show, where callers can join and request to speak. Hosts can play music in real time with their audience, as well as preplan and schedule their shows. DJs can choose from a library of millions of songs licensed by Amazon. The company said in a blog post that Amp gives users the chance to “reimagine radio.” “Amp infuses what listeners love about radio with what’s made possible by today’s technology,” John Ciancutti, vice president of Amp, said in the post. “People are looking for an evolution in how they discover and share music; Amp is reinventing how fans can go deeper into the experience of live audio, while giving the millions of people creating and sharing playlists today a new way to turn their love of music into live shows.”

 The M1 chip gives you the option to do a lot more than you can with the regular iPad. You can edit photos and videos faster in apps such as Adobe Photoshop or LumaFusion or play all of the latest games, including some that don’t run on the regular iPad, such as “Divinity: Original Sin 2.” I own the regular iPad Pro and didn’t notice any performance difference in using the more affordable iPad Air. I think of the M1 chip as future-proofing more than anything else, though, since there’s enough power here to run the latest apps for years. Center Stage was first introduced on the iPad Pro last year and has since made its way to the regular iPad, but it’s one of my favorite new features in Apple’s tablets. It helps keep you in the frame during video calls, which means you can move back and forth around the room while chatting on FaceTime and the camera will follow you. I love using it for video chats with my toddler and his grandparents because it helps keep him in the frame as he bounces around the room.

 Apple’s iPad sales were down 14% year-over-year during the holiday quarter, generating $7.25 billion in revenue, while Mac sales soared 25% during the same period to $10.85 billion. Apple had some supply constraints, but also spent much of the last year hyping up its new M1-powered Macs, which helped drive sales in that segment. That M1 chip has been available in Apple’s more expensive iPad Pro. Now it comes to the iPad Air, giving Apple’s midrange tablet the same power as some Macs and more expensive iPads.
