Lazy Saturday afternoon playing Dragon Quest XI.

I can't believe I never played this game before and how good it looks with my Legion Go + eGPU setup streamed to the iPad Pro using Moonlight (after fixing my Wi-Fi issues). Pure bliss.

As a follow-up to this story, I completely missed that the M4 iPad Pro now supports AV1 hardware-accelerated decoding.

I turned it on, and wow – it improved a setup that was already quite impressive. My RTX 4090 sending an AV1-encoded 4K HDR stream to the M4 iPad Pro = streaming bliss.

If you have a 40-series GPU and a new iPad Pro, turn on AV1 in Moonlight immediately.

Incredible. Apple Pencil Pro's Squeeze never worked for me so far and it turns out I had this setting disabled.

I turned the new 13" iPad Pro into a MacPad as well as a portable gaming display.

macOS on OLED is amazing. And for streaming PC games, this is the best device I've ever tested.

This is why I love the iPad's hardware modularity so much. My story: https://www.macstories.net/stories/i-turned-the-new-13-ipad-pro-into-a-macpad-and-portable-gaming-display/

Perfect video, 5 stars.

I see, I see. So besides using websites and now YouTube videos to train their stuff, now they also straight up copy people's likeness without their consent.

I don't know how else to describe this, but @cabel blog posts activate a specific part of my brain with a release of endorphins comparable to a Wikipedia rabbit hole, without the waste of time.

Sold my old 11" iPad Pro to a friend and LITERALLY the first issue she had was with the Files app. 🫠

But no, it's just nerds who want macOS on iPad.

Your friendly reminder that criticizing iPadOS does NOT mean:

• "dual-boot macOS"
• "put macOS on iPads"
• "you want to turn an iPad into a Mac"

It's completely fair to ask for more from iPadOS while keeping it iPadOS.

Anything else is a distraction. Do not let those distractions invalidate your opinion. But expect more and more over the next few days.

The last few days have been pretty awesome for the iOS/iPadOS videogame emulation scene between the release of Gamma (PS1), PPSSPP (PSP), and RetroArch (lots of consoles): https://www.macstories.net/news/emulator-palooza/

anyway, here's a small teaser of what I'm working on for my iPad Pro coverage. OLED all the things 😍

I couldn’t get an iPad Pro long enough in advance to publish a review today.

Instead, I finally took the time to prepare something else: a comprehensive story about all the problems of iPadOS.

Enjoy ☕️

ah yes, post-iPad event bad takes. One of my favorite moments that occurs once every 18 months, like an eclipse of Apple pundits

A lot of thoughts, questions, and first impressions on the new iPad Pros and today's Apple event at Battersea in London.

To understand how impossibly thin these new iPad Pros are, know this:

Apple's own Thunderbolt connector is thicker than the iPad.
