Over the past few months, we’ve seen quite a few reports pointing to Apple releasing a brand new 10.2-inch iPad later this fall. And while Apple’s marketing plans with the device remain to be seen, it’s widely believed that the 10.2-inch iPad will be positioned as a replacement for the company’s 9.7-inch iPad.

Echoing these reports, Digitimes relays that Apple’s rumored 10.2-inch iPad will likely be released sometime towards the end of the third quarter, which is to say in late September. The timeline here certainly makes sense given that Apple will presumably hold its special media event — where its new iPhone 11 lineup will be unveiled — in early September.

When Avengers: Endgame launched at the end of April, it finally put a stop to the endless stream of fan theories that attempted to guess the film’s plot. The movie answered several questions we had after Infinity War but also introduced other mysteries that weren’t immediately explainable.

We’ve cleared the water more than once on some of the events in the movie that might seem like plot holes but really aren’t, and tried to figure out the answers to other questions — like what year Captain America knocked on Peggy’s door for that dance. Marvel also offered plenty of answers to several burning questions fans had after the premiere.

If you’re still not satisfied and need more clarification, then you need to watch the commentary that comes with the Endgame digital release and Blu-ray. In it, directors Jon and Anthony Russo, and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely explain the thinking behind several key Endgame events.
