I don't know it this has been said before, but I noticed when the hand flips the pencil, it looks like an Apple Vision barcode, like the ones for pairing the Zeiss lenses.
Got a tip for us?

When you add in a protective case, keyboard you are competing weight wise with a very thin laptop. When I have my Pro out of a case I am amazed how much smaller it feels.
Those are his I think 3rd or 4th glasses....he can’t decide which ones are more "cooler".
Different types of devices with different purposes. The iPad is considerably larger (even the mini) and it uses higher end materials instead of plastic. Sounds like you would want Apple to make an ereader.

I am looking forward to upgrading an elderly iPad. My question which goes so far unanswered is, will Apple ruin the iPad 13" with an island or a notch. As I understand it I have three shots. 1) Buy an existing 12.9" with large storage micro led and no notch or 2) Buy a new type 12.9" iPad Air, with large storage or 3) Buy a 13.1" OLED iPad Pro with big storage. I guess I just have to wait and see but bringing out a new OLED screen for better viewing experience and thens ticket a large black circle in the picture makes no sense to me at all. If you get any pre realeases please let us know. Then there is the matte glass issue. Why make an OLED screen with improved backs and sharper picture and then stick a milky fuzzy covering to the screen? I hope it is actually a benefit.
Wait and see. I want to pick up a couple of 9th gens due mom and I preferring the original iPads (I've been drawing on my iPad 7th gen almost exclusively for five years now. It's great for my use and mom could use a lighter iPad due to arthritis.)
That said, I'll be curious about the iPad Air, especially the 12.9", a mini would be most welcome though. I miss owning an iPad Mini.

Yes, for my use cases the Ipad is clearly a content consumption device and not a content creation/edition device. But of course that is because I use a macbook pro for content creation/edition, and I'm not a gamer (except for a current backgammon addiction on the Ipad, on which I should work on
)But Apple pushing the Ipad towards content creation edition in parallel to the notebooks, not sure about that.
(and I don't care about the cameras either, maybe the front one for video conf or calls, even that I never use it for)
So yes would really appreciate a "content consumption" oriented Ipad line, pushing on being light, not that powerfull, great screen and good autonomy.
And a pure ereader wouldn't do the job either for me, as I do quite a bit of web browsing and video watching (youtube or others) on the ipad as well.
And why there is no proper whatsapp app on the Ipads ? Considering the number of years both exist, quite strange !

She had a Mini before, so maybe another Mini?
Does she ever talk about iPads? If not, maybe she doesn’t need a new iPad after going two years without one. Has she replaced that iPad with something else by now?
But if you want to get her the best one, get her one of the upcoming iPad Pros. That’ll definitely surprise her, and it’ll be the latest and greatest version.
Besides, the Mini 6 (2021) is two and a half years old, so I wouldn’t really recommend it at this time. Maybe last year would’ve been the last good time to buy that model.

I kinda regret I'm not reading it on the iPad...
Thanks! We have a 2024 15" Macbook Air M2 that we share right now and she uses daily. She also uses her iPhone 11 all the time even though it's dying on her. She would definitely use an iPad all the time (which would probably replace her iPhone at home until we get a new one for her).
for episode 101: What will Apple look like in 20 years? Apple 2044? Who will be in charge, what would the products be? Would they still be a huge company? Still at or towards the top in value? Will a government come into power that forces them to break up "ma-bell" style? Lots of fun stuff to wildly speculate on. Paint a picture for us of what you think it might look like in 20 years! Will Dan still be testing products and making review videos in 20 years?
