@twostraws how is that possible? The old magic keypunch oops I mean keyboard is the best keyboard I ever used since the IBM 029 keypunch 🍸🙀 (and also the most I ever paid)

@twostraws But would you prefer 20-30% more battery life?

twostraws, 27 days ago

@endareth No. In the Mashable review they played a video on loop at 50% screen brightness, and it lasted over 16 hours – that’s more than enough, even for heavy usage. Heck, even 8 hours is enough for a long iPad session.

@twostraws you’re not helping me skip this one

@twostraws I'm not even thinking of getting a new iPad until iPadOS is capable of using the hardware.

Oh, and when Apple explain how adding a cellular chip costs £200.

@twostraws Hopefully the OS will also get a big upgrade

Here’s a side by side comparison of the old Magic Keyboard on the left, and the new one on the right. Much bigger trackpad, and I love the new metal design – it makes the old one feel a bit like the very first iPad case Apple launched 😅
