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

If OpenAI upcoming announcement is about launching a search engine, I’ll take it in a heart beat. Anything that is challenging Google’s dominance is a win for all, even for Google.

Apple should remove that ad and say “We’re sorry”. It’s a wrong message. It as nothing to do in promoting the iPad Pro. 9to5mac.com/2024/05/0…

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?

After some reading about the new iPads, general sentiment seems to be: great but underutilized hardware. And getting more expensive.

Were these iPad announcements worth a press release or a keynote? For me, a press release would have been more than enough. I’m happy to see these powerful new iPad but since I’m coming from a 2018 iPad Pro, it’s not indicative of the current general mood.

The M4 on the new iPad Pro triggers a need-to-upgrade narrative more than any iPadOS-only feature could. Sad but true. A macOS virtual machine could have been this “software-only” story that Apple chose not to be told.

Coming from a 2018 11-inch iPad Pro it will prove to be a massive update for me.

I guess, I’ll have to go with the 11-inch 1TB configuration to get the nano display option and 16 GB of RAM. Oh well. One life to live.

So, there are no “erasure” mode for the Apple apensil Pro?

Nano glass option only available on 1TB & 2 TB configs. This is so Apple. 🤔☹️#appleevent

I’ll be watching the event after all, right from the Deck 10! Have a good one to you all! #appleevent

I rarely do and share selfies! But here’s one. Walking on the “Promenade des anglais” in Nice, France.

I find it hard to save time for blogging while traveling. There is always so much to do that I kind of forget about writing. This post is an exception, though. 😂 we’re visiting Nice today. Been there once but it’s always fun to revisit great cities.

It will be a challenge for me to watch the #AppleEvent today. I guess I’ll hit Apple.com later to read about all the new stuff.
