Amazon is not a competitor until they actually have a viable product which they may never achieve.
If both of them go down, I doubt 5G will matter much. Not like I have a big UPS in the house anyways.
Now I can't decide if I need a 3rd WAN.....
I love that Antrhopic is focused on coding. I've found their models to be significantly better at producing code similar to what I would write, meaning it's easy to debug and grok.
Gemini does weird stuff and while Codex is good, I prefer Sonnet 4.5 and Claude code.
- 5G connectivity - WiFi 7 - Tandem OLED Screen - Better webcam - FaceID - Cheaper RAM (RAM is more important to me these days than CPU speed) - More ports - Better/cheaper monitors - Make a proper tablet OS - Maybe a touchscreen but I really don't want one
just to get started
My M4 iPad Pro is amazing but feels totally overpowered for what it's capable of.
I guess what I'm saying is.......I don't need faster CPUs. I want longer battery life, 5G connectivity, WiFI 7, lighter weight, a better screen, a better keyboard, etc..
I guess it's odd that Apple spends so much time making faster computers when that is practically an already solved problem.
I always hated closing my tabs at the end of the night at bars since it could frequently take a little while for only a few seconds of work.
So I built an app that detected once you entered a beacon's area, and opened a bar tab for you with your name on it. You'd just go up to the bar and order as if you had a tab open already, and when you were done, you'd leave. If your phone didn't detect the beacon for 15 minutes, it closed the tab with your preferred credit card and tip (which you could edit).
We had a demo going for employees at Local Edition on Market street. It was really cool and worked really well. The issues came that exact position was not very exact at that time and I didn't think it was a feasible product to build and market since the installation of beacons at bars vs gaining users would be difficult.
But for a brief period, I never had to hand my credit card to a stranger or worry about getting stuck 20 minutes trying to close my tab.
If you like the idea, take it and run with it. I'm not going to do it but I feel like people would love it.
This is just a minor update for anyone with an older iPad/iPad Pro in case they want to upgrade.
Many of the people here complaining don't seem to understand they are not the target market.
Also, I love using my iPad as a social media / YouTube content consumption device. It's a fantastic experience. I also use it for a lot of home control (mostly audio but also lighting). It sure is an expensive device but it lasts forever and I get my money's worth.
Oh, and Lightroom on it is fantastic!
I don't like when people are inconsistent with how they apply standards.
And it's getting a lot of attention because of DHH. Doesn't look half bad either which helps.
Asinine.
