Well, pretty boring updates.

The iPad gets the new design and most of the features of its M1/2 based siblings, except that inexplicably, it still uses Pencil 1. And it comes with a price hike? The Air looks like the better deal.

The new 11" iPad Pro still lacks mini-LED. No reason to upgrade from a M1 iPad Pro that I can see. But that's sort of good news for me, I would not want to suddenly be disappointed with the iPad Pro 12.9 I bought six months ago.

Meanwhile my iPhone 14 Pro Max arrived yesterday, and I've been unsuccessful in migrating my cellular service to it, and worse, my previous phone is deactivated and I'm unable to re-activate it. They say it's 'top priority' but it's been six hours since the case was created without a solution, and coming up on 24 hours that I've been without phone service. Maybe it's a problem when migrating from physical SIM activation to eSIM, as in my case. In past I could just move the card over, but the new iPhone 14s don't have a slot. It took about an hour just to get someone to Chat with so it appears I'm not alone in having this issue. (thanks for listening)
