Not sure if the Diabetes breakthrough has come yet, but continuous body temperature monitoring could be useful in a pandemic.

It's like watching a whole community undergo memory loss.

It is extremely common for Apple to have an event/product release at the beginning of August.
(In Toronto, we call it the Civic Holiday/Simcoe Day weekend.)

My guess is that anyone who wants or requires Boot Camp use for work will buy the last Intel iMac upgrade, and those of us who don't need it and can afford to wait will buy the Apple Silicon iMac upgrade in early 2021.

A form factor change may or may not come this summer, but I'd guess USB4 and Wi-Fi 6 will wait for the A-chip model.

The 7MP selfie camera supports 1080p @ 60fps, which is more than fine for video chat. Most service provider's upload bandwidth is abysmal at just a fraction of the download bandwidth... so, the bottleneck isn't the camera, it's the Internet connection (which was mentioned in the article). Having a higher quality camera is not going to help.

The issue is that he's kind of stuck using the selfie camera so he can see the screen while using the teleprompter app... Most people would not need to record themselves in this manner, they would instead use the appropriate rear camera, which is much higher quality (4K).

Yes, I do get that. But all the general public is going to hear is "it looks bad because it's shot on an iPad."

Given that budget probably isn't a big problem, is there not a simple way to use two iPads here?

One for the teleprompter, one with the 4K camera, networked together?

An unwatchable show, but that has nothing to do with the use of the iPad.

Absolutely. Late Night TV is North America is drivel. But this article is really interesting for its behind-the-scenes information.

The biggest takeaway for me is that the fact that the iPad Pro has a substandard selfie camera has now been highlighted for millions during this pandemic. (Not just this show, lots of other programs are casually mentioning they are being produced on an iPad.)

In the fall, Apple's going to need to update the camera (or introduce a higher-end model for videocasters.) You can't have one of your signature products being blamed for low-quality video around the entire world.
