“Apple will put a major emphasis on AI at its upcoming WWDC, as the company aims to catch up to competitors in this rapidly evolving space. While Apple’s approach has been more measured, the pressure is on to provide a clear growth narrative, which its AI initiatives may struggle to … read more

The new M4 iPad Pro, with its repositioned FaceID camera, feels like a step backward compared to the 2018 iPad Pro. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I frequently receive prompts to enter my PIN due to failed FaceID attempts. Swiping up to unlock the device momentarily covers the camera and … read more

Apple may be overhauling Spotlight in macOS 15, and potentially on other operating systems as well. This suggests the company is focusing on enhancing the user experience when interacting with AI-generated responses to user requests. I’m really curious as to how it will come out.

The last day of May 2024 is here. It’s hard to believe that June is just around the corner and that in 10 days, we’ll get a new iteration of Apple’s operating system at WWDC. I don’t have high expectations for Apple this year, so let the surprises unfold.

iPadOS on the M4 iPad Pro is full of weird visual glitches. 🤷🏻‍♂️👀

With the new M4 iPad Pro, when using the Apple Folio at the lowest position, if the iPad is in my hands in portrait mode, when putting the iPad on the table, the screen won’t rotate in landscape mode unless I play with the iPad to force a rotation. That’s not exactly a tuned up experience.

Today was the day when I got rid of this little baby. It was a great looking computer. I gave it to a local tech refurbishing store¹. RIP 2007-2017.

I’m experiencing an rather frustrating issue with my M4 iPad Pro: I’m experimenting with an external displayy (LG 4K UltraFine) with a thunderbolt cable. Everything works fine until the iPad starts acting up and disable the external display. It’s like if the cable was being disconnected and … read more

On iPadOS, I wish I could tap outside a window (Stage Manager being active) to dismiss the front app and return to the Home Screen. I’m a Mac user too, so this is something expected. Why not on iPad?

I’ve been baited into writing about touch screen Macs once more

I don’t think these Macs would look like today’s clamshell MacBooks, they would have a new form factor more similar to iPads.

What if a touchscreen Mac only allowed for scrolling content with fingers? If the touchscreen Mac is not convertible, what other use of touch than scrolling would people do with a touchscreen Mac? What are people doing on Windows with a touch screen, really?

Thought of the hour: I don’t think I’ll ever buy the Magic Keyboard for the iPad, thanks to having a MacBook Air. Yet, I do see that it is really improved compared to previous gen.

When you think about it, not being able to mount an iPad as a USB drive on the Mac to do some files management, in 2024, it’s a bit … frustrating? In that respect, I do join my voice to those who think iPadOS is lacking in many areas, small and bigger.

Since getting my new iPad, I decided that this would be the only device that I use when eating launch because it is smaller and I reduce the risk of food falling on my MacBook Air keyboard. 😩

This process of having to restore purchases to re-activate in-app purchase for each subscription even after a iPad migration or restore from the Mac is painful. 😣

After spending half an hour in the Apple Store comparing iPads with and without the nano-texture display, I came to the conclusion to skip the nano-texture display and here are the reasons why: The display doesn’t provide a paper-like sensation when using the Apple Pencil. There is a subtle … read more

Finally got the new iPad Pro: 11-inch, 512GB of storage, which means “only” 8GB of system RAM and no nano-texture display. I made the decision after spending 45 minutes testing the new iPad. The nano-texture display is super nice to the touch, but it does reduce image crispiness. With … read more

There is one thing that I really want to try and master with the new iPad that I couldn’t do before: explore and learn Final Cut Pro for iPad. It seems a more approachable version than on the desktop. Am I wrong?

To those who reviewed the new iPads and concluded that the hardware is great but iPadOS is the limiting factor: it is becoming tiring. The iPad is not and probably will never be a Mac. If you wanted utter flexibility, it’s the Mac. Why is it so hard? Can you just move on to something else? Thanks.

Missed the opportunity to order an iPad Pro with nano texture glass and get it before my summer vacations on Jun 24th. Not great.

I hate the way Apple is showing the new iPad Pro with a dark wallpaper we ain’t see the actual device! Is it on purpose so that we can’t compare bezels between old and new Pros?
