Apple didn't announce anything this week. Its code did it for them. Buried references found in Apple's own software confirm the iPad 12 is real — and the budget iPad is finally getting iPhone-class specs.
Here's the spec sheet, straight from the leak: an A19 chip, 8 gigs of RAM — the exact floor for Apple Intelligence — plus Apple's in-house C1X modem and the new N1 Wi-Fi chip. The same code dive outed a brand-new Apple TV 4K and a HomePod mini 2 coming in fresh pink and green.
The sneaky-big story is that modem. Every device that swaps Qualcomm for Apple's C1X gets cheaper to build — and Apple has a legendary record of passing those savings on. To itself.
