So it looks like the 13" together with the keyboard will be much lighter than before, making it about the same weight as the MacBook Air, but the 11" iPad Pro will only be slightly lighter than before…

On M4 iPad Pro "bend protection":

"Apple's senior VP John Ternus reveals that Apple has added a new protective "cowling" over main logic board...not only helps with heat dissipation, but also "effectively creates a central rib that runs through the whole thing and tremendously improves the stiffness"

I saw this article on Hacker News, and I've never felt more seen in my entire life. I gave away my iPad this year and I forgot until I saw this article - I always end up using my MacBook or my Thinkpad to get stuff done as the iPad is just utterly restricted at the software layer.

: "All that stuff — the paint, the piano, the trumpet, the arcade machine, the illustrator's table — do you feel any hostility toward it? Do you want to see it destroyed and symbolically turned into an Apple device? Does it give you any satisfaction to see record players annihilated, and cameras all squished, and crumbly, and exploding?

By signing up you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
And to switch things around a bit, take a look at your nearest Apple device and think about the last time you fantasized about that thing getting crushed. Was it yesterday? Maybe it was five minutes ago. In any case, you probably like it less than you like, say, your guitar.

Almost exactly 40 years ago, Apple released its most famous ad, "1984," in which a monochrome society of shambling drones is under the spell of some kind of computerized dictator. The prisoners of this terrible society are then liberated from their monotony by a hammer-throwing savior representing the Macintosh computer, and a glorious, colorful future is unleashed.

Fast forward 40 years, and Apple is the most valuable company in the world, releasing a commercial in which symbols of creativity, color, joy, human passion, and playfulness are piled into the center of a grey concrete void, and crushed by an industrial machine until they become a little Apple-branded rectangle.

The message is not playing well."

I saw the new commercial, the one which got everyone up in arms; It's certainly showing a side of the Silicon Valley which has been out in the open: An open disdain of outdated things in favor of the newest best thing.

Thankfully, Apple's latest tech slab won't ever be able to destroy or replace the thing which sparks creative joy within any creative. They certainly wouldn't mind if it did; I don't think they could ever bring that magic to a generic looking tablet.

This rendition of the much maligned iPad Pro "Crush" ad is GENIUS.

"Marvel Studios and ILM Immersive Announce 'What If...? - An Immersive Story' Coming Exclusively to Apple Vision Pro"

Vision Pro is 💰

If it was cheaper, this sort of content would def drive me to buy in.

And the M3 Macs, the M4 iPad Pro definitely are in line ahead of Vision Pro for my limited budget.

Look how amazingly skinny the new iPad Pro is.

Of all the pics I've seen, IMO this one does the best job at conveying that skinniness.

Makes me want one, just for the skinny.

On this day, I want to say that I'm still very impressed with 's technical achievements. Like mini-LED displays on the before, the "tandem OLED" is a smart solution. With their fancy event presentations, Apple makes everything seem obvious, but it's clear that — while many have been loudly proclaiming dissatisfaction that Apple hadn't switched to OLED already — they've been focusing on creating the best in looking/performing/efficient display they can manufacture.

Glad to see Apple breaking out RAM levels for the new iPad Pro models. 8GB or 16GB, depending. As usual, the profit margin on the flash memory storage is plumper than plump — $200 premium to go from 256GB to 512GB. https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-pro #AppleEvent #iPadPro

The new iPad Pro "Nano-texture glass" is ONLY available in models with 1TB or more of storage (not in the 2 lowest tier models).

Which brings the base price for nano glass up to a min of:

  • $1699 for the 11"
  • $1899 for the 13"

The M4 iPad Pro is Faster
So the new iPad Pro is faster and has a better screen and is thinner. All things I would expect for an incremental upgrade.

Reading further through the reports about the iPad I see nothing that makes it a compelling purchase to replace my M1 iPad Pro. I bet I’ll still have issues with some websites via Safari, particularly WordPress which I use to run this sit

After months of rumors, Apple has announced its new iPad line-up, which includes the first iPad Pro with an OLED display.

This major screen upgrade should deliver 1,600 nits of peak brightness for HDR content, and is joined by a “fresh design, more powerful internals, and a thinner profile than ever before.” Here’s more from @theverge.
