Yep, a nice upgrade for the iPad Air 5, but unfortunately they still hobble it with lack of Thunderbolt/USB4 support and an iPadOS which is geared for little more than media viewing, some gaming, and social media activities. I’ll get excited about ipados again if they ever add a truly usable file system rather than the garbage they currently use.

The studio looks like a really good high end machine, but way more than I could ever afford, not that I really need that kind of computing power anyway! Rather strange that rumors for it only appeared a few days before the actual reveal. I didn’t hear much about it per se until yesterday. I did hear that a new Mac mini would have a M1 Pro or Max chip and be turned into a Pro type Mac. That was kind of accurate, but not really. No new Mac mini, but the Studio looks similar to a Mac mini, but it is a whole new device.

Most of the rumors were wrong again, and several that were right were pretty much a given as we get new colors nearly every year. So totally wrong rumors on new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac. I guess Tim’s secret squirrel security folks are finally getting a handle on leaks.

My hope is that we will start to see a lot of bug squashing with the updates to the OSes this summer. iPadOS 15 is a buggy mess!
