It isn’t easy deciding which iPad might be right for you. Indeed, Apple seemed to talk me out of the newest edition.
Better by a sliver?
I can rarely resist an enticing marketing promise.
So when Apple declared it had released the thinnest iPads yet, I felt compelled to experience their post-Ozempic nature.
I’m not entirely moved by the concept of thinness. My long experience with the MacBook Air whispered to me that too thin can actually slice your fingers if you’re not careful.
Indeed, the M2 Macbook Air I have now is blessedly thicker — and less sharp at the edges — than previous editions.
Still, I went to an Apple store, ready to be excited, stunned, and — indeed — seduced.
Apple stores haven’t changed much over the last many years, so the iPads, being the newest new things, were placed near the front door.
I wandered over to the iPad table and perused with purpose and passion.
Here was an iPad Mini, there was a new 11-inch iPad, further along was a new 11-inch iPad Pro and finally a new 13-inch iPad Pro.
I confess, I still have a fairly old iPad Pro. It’s heavy compared to any of these new wares, but it still functions and, as it wasn’t exactly cheap, I persevere with it, though sans enthusiasm.
I was ready, then, to be nudged toward the future.
