If Apple ever makes a 27 or 32" Apple Pro Studio Display that worked with Apple Pencil and was "decently" priced I think that would really hurt Wacom. I just don't know how much of a market there is for Apple to develop such a display. 

I’ve always said that the Windows Studio PC is what the iMac should have become: a display you can move freely to a tablet layout and Pencil friendly. I really wish the Mac Studio was this.

I stopped using an Wacom tablets once Astropad Studio came out. All my Photoshop work is done on my iPad Pro 11” gen1, and it still is brilliant. I’m replacing my iPad only because the screen is cracked, and the replacement is half the price of a new iPad. The way o see it, Procreate and Astropad are the killer Killer Aps. As much as I’d love the 13”, only the 11” fits in my mini backpack. I’m OK with that.

I have the M1 MBP 14” maxed out, and it’s a beast. But I haven’t used it in a year. Why? My workstation is an M1 Ultra with my 1st gen iPad Pro 11” as my “Wacom.” This a paradigm shift for me: I can draw at the desk, or carry it a few feet away and still work my PSD image on the M1. Astropad and Procreate are The Killer Apps for iPad. I’m putting my MBP on eBay so I can buy the new 11” iPad Pro. Funny enough, my 1st gen iPad Pro 11” still feels fast, but the screen is cracked and to replace it is $800. Might as well get the new one.

I was super surprised by Mark Gurman being right about the M4! Damn, that’s a big move for Apple. This then makes a lot of sense why the M3 ULTRA is missing, I bet Apple is just going to jump over it directly to an M4 MAX, ULTRA, and maybe EXTREME to be revealed at WWDC. Can’t wait!

I’m really surprised that the new Apple Pencil Pro is being supported by the Air as well! You’d think that’s a way to further differentiate the Pro from the Air, a motivation to push people to the Pro. But this is a very consumer friendly move - I applaud Apple for this. The new Air looks like the perfect replacement for my 11” iPad Pro 2nd generation with its cracked screen. But I will look into the 11” iPad Pro with that OLED display.
