My Hopes for Stage Manager
Let's talk about Stage Manager for the iPad real quick*.
I've been talking to a bunch of people in recent days about the feature, and I wrote about it on TechRadar and here on this blog. My opinion on the feature itself is that it's got a lot of

Stage Manager Is Only for M1 iPads, and No, It’s Not Because Apple Hates You (yes, you!)
Craig Federighi talking to Matthew Panzarino:
“It’s only the M1 iPads that combined the high DRAM capacity with very high capacity, high performance NAND that allows our virtual memory swap to be super fast,” Federighi says. “Now that we’re letting you have up to four apps on a panel plus another four – up

Mark Gurman has a new report out about advanced multitasking features coming in iPadOS 16, and while many in my feeds are happy about this, there is also some trepidation. Rene Ritchie, for example, expressed nervousness about this report, saying:

The iPadOS Update We’ve Actually Been Waiting For
There was a lot of good stuff in iPadOS 15 announced at WWDC last week. Hell, I’m running it on the iPad I’m using to write this post, and it’s made my iPad meaningfully better in some key ways. And yet there is a sense of disappointment around this not being The

Multitasking vs Parallelism
In my mind, “multitasking” in computers is the ability for the user to actively work on several things at the same time.
Then there’s “parallelism,” which I think of as multitasking+. Yes, it’s partially me working on different things, but also the ability to me to tell my computer to do something, and

About that Magic Keyboard
Yesterday we got word that the new iPad Pros are not compatible with the Magic Keyboard that released almost exactly a year ago today. Let’s talk about it.
Why the Change?
While Apple didn’t give a reason for the change in compatibility, we can look at the differences ourselves and see why this

iPads, MacBooks, Aspect Ratios, and Window Chrome
With my recent purchase of a MacBook Air, I now have two 13” computers in my life, the MacBook Air and iPad Pro (2018). What I find really interesting is that while my iPad Pro feels almost too expansive sometimes, the MacBook Air feels very cramped by comparison. Why is that? The Air technically has

What Are we Even Debating?
After listening to the most recent episode of The Talk Show, I'm not really sure what the argument about iPads not being general purpose computers even means. It sounds to me like we're debating a technicality but don't actually disagree on the outcome.

The iPad Cursor is an Achievement
The Magic Keyboard for iPad came out in April this year and I’ve been using it everyday. I know some people said it was more of a dock than a case, but I use it exactly the same as I did my Smart Keyboard Folio, it lives on the iPad 95% of the time

My Number 1 Complaint with Working on the iPad

Buying Into a Philosophy
What if Apple built Windows?
Out there question, I know, but stick with me on this one. If Apple made Windows, would you like it more than you like it day? The features would be the same, and maybe it would work more smoothly with Apple’s iCloud services, but in every other way it
