Apple Event - May 7, 2024 (New iPads!)

[Scott Greczkowski]

So far, so good.

Tried to think up a witty comment, but too tired, my brain is exhausted from house hunting.

Ok come on, house hunting isn't that hard..... houses are big things... if you can't shoot a house then we may need to talk.

It is hard, specially since you have the perfect house, yet cannot stand to live here any longer.

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.

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

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.

Smart Folio is what I always use.

The Apple Pencil Pro on the new iPad Pro takes it to a new level.

It never ceases to amaze me what passes for "innovation" these days.

It never ceases to amaze me what passes for "innovation" these days.

And what have you done that would be considered a innovation these days?

Amazing how some will criticize a company with a $2.9 Trillion Market Cap, yet cannot explain what they could or have done better.

It is easy to criticize, not so easy to provide a solution.

By the way, enjoying my new Pro with the pencil.

And what have you done that would be considered a innovation these days?

Anything to close any deficits with the competition would be a start. Claiming that they're making bold moves when this is the result is kinda hollow in my mind.

Then again, I'm not sure what the attraction to doing computerly things on a phone or tablet is.
