Gorgeous artful transition.
Itās all about iPad. Except weāre going to talk Vision Pro first instead. š
With the callout to M3 already, Iām feeling good about my prediction that there wonāt be M4. But weāll see!
āHuge updates across the iPad lineup.ā Feeling good about this:
Haha, callout to PUBG. No Fortnite mentions here.
Big iPad Air ā Whether or not those colors are actually colorful remains to be seen. Oh, and ā13-inchā not ā12.9-inchā. Yay!
Thatās the regular Magic Keyboard right? Makes sense that itād stick around for the iPad Air at least.
Update: They donāt seem that colorful.
Two mentions of āAIā so far at 10 mintues in. Only slightly behind my prediction:
We didnāt see the Apple Pencil magnetically attach to the iPad Air did we?
iPad Pro time, letās go!
Theyāre certainly talking this thing up. Iām excited!
Didnāt realize this was the Hydraulic Press channel.
Ah, clever. Itās very thin.
āThinnest Apple product ever.ā Beat out the previous title-holder, the iPod nano, which held it forā¦gosh, a decade?
Holy smokes, Tandem OLED displays? No one saw that coming. Sounds expensive. š³
Ultra Retina XDR. āUltraā claims another product as its own.
Oh man, theyāre doing it. M4 indeed!
@pratik š
I think itās pretty clear that Tom Millet will be the next head of silicon after Srouji.
Why did they just compare to the Neural Engine of the A11 Bionic? Just for a big number? How much better than M3?
4x improvement over last generation iPad Pro is a pretty great jump.
A climbing gym set!? Itās like they made this event just for me!
@pratik Indeed. Betting against Gurman is long odds these days.
Final Cut Camera looks super cool, and Iāll never use it.
(Good belaying technique from that actress, btw.)
That camera module looks kinda interesting. And just one lens it seems?
A solid update for the iPad Proās Magic Keyboard. Got the function row and bigger/better trackpad. No USB-C data passthrough though, I donāt think.
Oooh! That tool pallet via a squeeze of the Pencil is slick.
Procreate is just the coolest app.
Woof. $1630 for a new (cellular) setup. Gonna have to think on that for a minute.
Regular iPad got a price cut (nice!) and pushed out the 9th-gen with the Home Button (also nice!) but the iPad mini didnāt get any love today. Updates didnāt quite span the entire lineup there, Tim.
Itās not software day, so expecting a Mac Virtual Display was a stretch. But man, can you imagine if they introduced a macOS-mode. All their hype about blowing away what you can do on an iPad had me thinking maybe they were going to do it after all. And then @ismh might not have been sad about an iPad getting the M4 chip first if it was also a Mac. But alas.
Assuming it is still in the lineup? š±
At a rough count, I think I got 5/10 on my predictions. Will do a more detailed review later.
@odd Itās still there, no worries. š Just a bit neglected.
Iām a bit befuddled by the aluminum palm rest on the new Magic Keyboard. Everyone seems to have wanted a full aluminum keyboard, but that just sounds heavy and cold. Iāve been plenty happy with the rubbery material of the existing Magic Keyboard. But if it truly is lighterweight, then I guess it gets a thumbs up from me.
