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.
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 ;)
After WWDC 2022 Federico Viticci was very loud in his advocacy that Stage Manager should be optimized to run on older iPads many of which had only 4 to 6GB of memory.
In his recent post "Why iPadOS Still Doesn’t Get the Basics Right" he’s complaining that Stage Manager should do more because new iPads are more powerful.
Which is it? Build features that take advantage of more powerful iPads or restrict features to accommodate older hardware?
Reading some iPad Pro reviews. What feels puzzling, troubling, and just off base is that the the complaints about iPadOS could have been written before and most were.
So I’m not getting the love/hate with the device/software. I don’t think anyone expected iPadOS to offer anything new at this point. If they did they were wrong.
If they’re hoping they’ll push Apple further at WWDC, that ship has sailed whatever it contains, so I don’t get the push. #Apple#iPadPro#iPad#WWDC
Ok weird #Apple#iPad situation: got an iOS system alert on my devices yesterday that ‘a new iPad has been added to your Apple ID and has access to iMessage.’ But I haven’t added a new device.
Checked my account, there is no new iPad I don’t recognize there. But I did order a new M4 Pro. Could Apple have somehow preemptively added it to my account?
UPDATE: Apprently this is a bug going around triggered by updating a device with iOS 17.5, which I did do.
"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.
Am I the only one who would much rather an extra 10–20% battery life over having a slightly thinner #Apple#iPad? And same for #iPhone. Every single year.
#Apple#iPad#AI#GenerativeAI#Marketing: "Smartphones and tablets were invented to enhance our lived experience, to make it easier to leave the house and go to the beach and meet up with friends — just a good camera-computer combo that fits in your pocket.
Theoretically, our phones and tablets will become even more useful with AI, serving as virtual assistants that can do all the boring stuff we don’t want to, like summarizing all your new emails and filtering out junk. There’s a world in the not too distant future, according to AI proponents, where you can simply tell Siri or Google “order my usual breakfast from the coffee shop near the office, I’ll be there in 10 minutes to pick it up,” and the bot will do just that.
We’re not there yet, however. And so far, the consumer applications for AI are simultaneously underwhelming and dystopian.
Distorted images may be harmless social media fodder, until they become propaganda spread by bad actors."
In this week’s Disconnect Roundup, Apple delivered an insult to life itself by crushing all human creativity into an iPad Pro in its recent ad. Plus, recommended reads, labor updates, and other news you might have missed.
@jimniels same here! I've replaced the #sass syntax with nested #CSS and while it worked on all major browsers (latest version), everything was broken when using an older #ipad
iPad: Für mich seit einigen Jahren keine Notwendigkeit mehr. Mir genügt die Kombination von Macbook Air mit M1-Chip und iPhone 13 Pro vollkommen. Meine Begierde nach einem neuen Gerät könnte geweckt werden, wenn in der nächsten Generation von iPhone und MacBook wirklich für mich nützliche KI-Funktionalität drin wäre. Denk ich (derzeit) an #Siri in der Nacht ... #iPad#MacBook#Apple
Hier dem @pallenberg seine Gedanken
Apple iPads mit M4 - Die etwas andere Analyse! https://www.metacheles.de/apple-ipad-m4-analyse/
#AI#GenerativeAI#Automation#Unemployment#ViceMedia#Journalism#Media#Apple#iPad: "On the one hand it is really wild to me that Apple would miscalculate on something so drastically — Apple prides itself on its marketing, which is as crucial to the company as any of its technologies — but on the other, I’m thankful. The ad has clarified some things: amid (yet another) week in which human writers and artists were watching their work degraded into content fodder, Apple came along and handed us a perfect visual metaphor for one of our most potent fears about big tech right now — namely, that it is crushing the arts and transmuting them into dull consumer products. And, I might add, they are so content with what they are doing, that they are more than happy to broadcast that intent explicitly via advertising — signed off on by the highest echelons of Apple, and Tim Cook himself tweeting it out — with an exclamation point in the title. “Crush!” indeed." https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/for-artists-writers-humans-big-techs
