So the new iMac doesn’t support Thunderbolt at all?!

A good copper metallic would be beautiful. That just looks like UPS package brown.

I subscribe to Apple One. I don’t play any games or care about fitness tracking, but it’s still a good deal. IF they add AI to One, great. If they charge a tiny bit more, OK. If they creat a new tier, I won’t care. AI is a big nothing burger for me. 

I dare to assume that kind of wishful thinking, that the pro tablet COULD be a full solution, still drives a large parte of iPad Pro sales. Except maybe for Procreate based illustrators, but even there, I find a budget Wacom to be more sensitive than Apple Pencil… Anyone with a better actual experience?

I just got the 11” Pro, but only the 512GB. I use it with AstroPad Studio on my M1 Studio Ultra as a Wacom replacement. It’s much more useful and flexible. With screen mirror and full Apple Pencil support I’m super happy with the utility and performance. If I wanted, I could use it with my MBP M1 14”. I actually use the iPad Pro for a vast portion of my work and consumption cycle. But I agree with you on it being crippled by iPadOS. I wish they’d offer a MacMode when the iPad is connected to a MagicKeyboard. Give us the power it offers running regular Mac apps when connected to the MK and a mouse. No, I don’t think it would cannablize regular MBP, but if it did better to self-cannablize than lose a customer to another platform.

Please Apple, please, while you’re at it, redesign the god-awful Magic Mouse so that most of the users don’t have to throw it in the drawer at the day of purchase, replacing it with an actual usable mouse.

Never used any of mine. Drawer filler for sure.
