Went to the Apple Store last night, got to spend some quality time with the M4 iPad Pro.

  • The screen is ridiculous. Delicious. Bright. A pleasure to interact with.

  • It's SO THIN!!! And light!

  • Add in the Magic Keyboard and it becomes SO HEAVY. Like a ship anchor.

  • The Apple Pencil Pro is next level. The shadow detail (shadow shows the pen tip in use, VERY precise) makes you want one.

If it wasn't so 💰 would have walked out with it.

Is there an android tablet the size of iPad Mini?

Heading to the Apple Store. Going to hold that new M4 iPad Pro in my hands.

Try out that new Apple Pencil.

See if I can see that fountain pen shadow for myself.

WWWOOOOWWW! Wohoo! Just discovered that control+Option right or left arrow will scroll my Mastodon advanced UI right or left on the iPad I am airplaying to a monitor and keyboard. Game changer!

Después de defender el iPad ahora vengo desde mi Android a comentar lo suave que es bajar música desde los 7 mares sin encender la compu. P.D. bajar torrent desde iOS legalmente no se puede o no he podido. Soy super bipolar. #android #ipad

Managed to try the Quirkey #accessibility keyboard out on an #iPad with a USB adaptor, and it seems to work. Certainly well enough for a deeper dive...

I tried #RetroArch on the #ipad. The experience is not bad, especially using a Bluetooth controller. But still prefer how this works on #Android; much easier to deal with ROM files, and the screen on my Samsung (OLED) looks better.

“Who was asking for the iPad Pro to get thinner?”

Setting aside the fact our tech has been getting smaller and thinner for decades so I don’t really understand this question, I think the larger benefit is weight.

As someone who has been using a 13” iPad Pro for ~ 80% of my daily work and play for years, every fraction of an ounce they can shed is welcome, especially since this device is designed to be held; it doesn’t just sit on a surface like a laptop.

a new article on 9to5Mac comparing the iPad Pro with the upcoming Surface Pro. unfortunately it also conveniently ignores the fact that one is effectively running a super limited phone OS while the other a fully flexible desktop OS.

I hope that this will finally force Apple to allow iPad Pros to run macOS (even virtualized) as all that awesome power is just getting wasted.

I just returned my iPad Pro M4. #iPad is not a computer.

Here are some of the things I couldn’t do:

  • No custom app launcher like Alfred or Raycast
  • No local development
  • Inconsistent or non-existent keyboard shortcuts
  • No multiple audio streams
  • No browser extensions for Chrome/Brave
  • No granular firewall apps like Little Snitch
  • Can’t connect to my hardware crypto wallet
  • Can’t export/backup my #Protonmail
  • Can’t use #Logseq plugins
  • Can’t backup (via Arc). iCloud is not backup.

Terminalprogramme für #ssh sessions auf dem #ipad. Gibts da brauchbare Lösungen, die die Verbindung im Hintergrund halten können?

New sketch! It's the classic Apple ]+, the first computer my family ever had... 40+ years ago I got my start with programming and computer graphics on one of these.

One day with the M4 iPad Pro. Great upgrade all around, lighter weight is subtle but noticeable from previous M1. But

The new Magic Keyboard feels really good. Great build quality, typing feels quite nice, the new function row was long overdue, and the trackpad is nifty. It too feels lighter, so the overall package feels great.

The lip of the old “plastic” Magic Keyboard protrudes more than the new one, making it easier to open the iPad/Keyboard combo. It’s almost flush with the iPad in the new one.

It will be interesting to see how much oil/fingerprints the new metallic Magic Keyboard assumes.

From Apple Support, an Apple Pencil Pro video showing actions, gestures, features, and settings.

Worth watching if you are thinking of buying one...

Honestly had a really weird introduction to my new iPad Pro. After the hour long data transfer was complete I tried using it but it was like walking through quicksand. Games were practically unplayable and video looked terrible.

I figured it was because it was still downloading and installing a ton of apps but even after that appeared done it was still doing it.

After a power cycle it’s running like a champ now. This screen is so gorgeous.

The iPadPro can’t get much thinner without the USBC opening getting thinner. That should happen when the iPad gets wireless charging. It doesnt. I checked for a hidden coil ;)

Hm the 2nd gen Apple Pencil isnt compatible with the M4 Pro. Youll need to upgrade to the new Pencil.
