I picked up the Smart Folio case. It doesn’t feel as good as the leather cases from the past, but it is light and thin and provides some minimal protection. And it is rather versatile as a stand. I am keeping it.

The Magic Keyboard is actually pretty good. Turns the iPad into a laptop.

The new iPad has finally arrived. I love how thin and light it is! Installing it now. I got the case with the keyboard: it’s actually heavier than the iPad itself! I’ll need to get a very light protective case.

Early afternoon is when the UPS van is usually here. That’s probably when I should expect it.

Out for delivery… :hungry2

So, is there any easy way to watch Apple spatial videos shot with iPhone 15 Pro Max on a regular 3D TV set? I checked out the Vision Pro last night and I was really impressed! To the extent that I might start shooting some spatial video clips on the phone moving forward. However, I am not ready...

I stopped at the Apple Store last night. They didn’t have the new iPads on display yet, won’t have them until the launch on Wednesday. Looking at the current models, I think I will be fine with the 11” version, especially since it’s lighter. As I was there I tried the Vision Pro. That was...

I am going to stop at the Apple store tonight, hopefully they have the new iPads on display. I want to see if I made the right choice going with 11' - I think it should be enough for my purposes.

It's clear what they were trying to say, but that was gross!

That was a really weird ad. Not sure who thought it was a good idea.

M2 and M4 have more cores (both CPU and GPU) than the A17 in the iPhone 15. So if an app can take advantage of that, it should run much faster on the iPad. A17 pro (iPhone 15 Pro Max) 6-core CPU with 2 performance and 4 efficiency cores 6-core GPU 16-core Neural Engine

It doesn’t look like. Just one M2 chip option listed: 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores 10-core GPU 16-core Neural Engine 100GB/s memory bandwidth 8GB RAM

Notice that there are two versions of the M4 chip: Models with 256GB or 512GB storage: 9-core CPU with 3 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores 10-core GPU Hardware-accelerated ray tracing 16-core Neural Engine 120GB/s memory bandwidth 8GB RAM Models with 1TB or 2TB storage: 10-core CPU...
