My impressions on using the GhostCover for the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard. TL;DR: slightly “mushier”, but I love it!

I've had a chance to field-test the Magic Keyboard these past three months in a variety of environments: my living room, my kitchen, my bedroom (these are pandemic times after all), and formed some impressions about the keyboard and how it compares to Apple’s other offering: the Smart Keyboard Folio.

The iPad has been around since Late 2015, and multiple software and hardware iterations have helped to radically transform not just the product, but Apple’s approach to computing.

Around 500 years ago, just as the year 2020 was beginning, I was well on my way to transitioning to an iPad-only computing experience. Then COVID happened, and since then, I haven’t been happier to have access to a MacBook.

Native Union has released a pair of elegant and minimalist sleeves for the iPad. Here are my thought on these as a premium sleeve for your iPad.

Dark Noise is an easy-to-use and straightforward ambient noise app developed for iOS (available on iPad, iPhone, and... iPod Touch (I guess)). It's a well-crafted app that features over 40 different ambient sounds and integrates into Shortcuts and Apple's widget framework for easy accessibility.

I wanted to compile a few of my thoughts on the podcast player Cosmicast I’ve seen making the rounds. I’ve broken down my impressions of the app into three categories: what I love, what I dislike, and features I’d wish for in future updates of the app.

The unassuming $329 iPad 10.2" (aka iPad 7th Generation, aka "the budget iPad") might well be, as Brian Chen dubbed it, "the Gadget of the Pandemic.”

Discovering and capturing that elusive obviousness in design has always been a signature in Apple’s products.

With the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro upon us, I wanted to highlight some of the comments made by two venerable reviewers - John Gruber at Daring Fireball & Federico Viticci at MacStories - comparing the new Magic Keyboard to the Smart Keyboard Folio.
