  • iPadOS 26 multitasking is more Mac-like with menubar, better pointer and more

    This is a game changer for iPad. I am 100% a Mac first person and use my iPad for consumption and very limited productivity only. That might change with the multi-taking, file management and audio changes they made this year.

    They were never going to bring macOS to iPad as it is a walled garden (in most jurisdictions) for which they control the apps & revenue and has a more sandboxed, modern and responsive OS. They were never going to willingly open that up; it was always going to be an iterative move towards more flexibility and productivity for the user. It took longer than most people (myself very much included) hoped and thought it would but this year is a big step forward.

  • What iPhones and iPads will run iOS 26 & iPadOS 26

    TRAGTRAG
    Chuffed that my good old iPad Air 3 will get the latest. I thought they would cut it off. I continue to use products until they no longer serve a purpose so have old iPhones as security devices and an old MacBook Pro as a TV media player (and the only DVD player we have in our house). My main devices though I like to be snappy and though the iPad Air 3 is starting to show its age I don't really need a new one as a light iPad user.

    Good on Apple giving it a new lease of life with multitasking and a fresh look.

    People weren't very impressed with say, the adorable 12-inch MacBook but they lamented its passingwhen it was discontinued, for instance.

    Yes, my bank account still awaits release of the M-chip version of the 12" Macbook Retina, my fave Mac laptop form factor of all time. I would buy one in a heartbeat. But like those hoping for a new 27" iMac, we're all just waiting for Godot. 
    Same. I went for a MacBook Air 13” M3 in the end but would sell and get a 12” style MacBook instantly if they brought one out with Apple Silicon.

    Yeah, I thought it might have been Jeff Goldblum at first, which would have been a nice nod to the 90s Apple adverts he did. Not so sure though…

  • Apple's new iPad Pro gets M4 power, advanced Tandem OLED screens

    Some info to be aware of:
    • 10 core processor only available on TB versions, 256 & 512MB versions get 9 cores (3e & 6p).
    • 1TB option is $600 (60%) more than base option, $400 more than 512GB version.
    • Textured nano glass requires TB option.
    • Wide angle camera is dropped.. only one camera on rear.
    • GPS still requires cellular version, which is $200 upgrade.
    I am extremely disappointed Apple continues to bundle options.  Why should I have to buy storage I do not need to get the processor I want??

    To get better processor and GPS, with AppleCare and tax is now $2,070.. and that doesn’t include any accessories.. and that’s the 11” version.

    After I ordered mine, I also noticed that the 1TB and 2TB models have 16GBof RAM, whereas the other models have 8GB. I was surprised that they didn’t make this more clear in the marketing, because some people certainly would have upgraded the storage just to get the extra RAM. 
    Yes, they are always quiet on RAM in iOS devices for some reason. They probably want to avoid comparisons with competitors; as Apple can do more via unified memory and software optimisation they are stingy with it, on paper Android tablets look better but in reality that isn't necessarily the case.
