I hope you’ve been well. Me, I’m still using the iPad a lot. I’m writing this on one (the latest 11” iPad Pro, if you’re curious), using the beta version of iPadOS 17 and a 27” screen with Stage Manager. No, it’s not quite there yet, but Stage Manager is improving, and I’m going to do final edits on a manuscript later today or tomorrow using this very setup, so it’s getting dangerously close to good enough. Anyway, I wanted to email you about a piece I wrote and sent to the Bored Horse newsletter subscribers. It’s called Writing on glass , and it’s obviously ing the iPad as a note-taking device. I think you’ll like it. → Read Writing on glass on the Bored Horse Oh, and if you’re interested, do consider subscribing to the Bored Horse too. It’s not iPad-centric, or even just about tech, but you might enjoy it nonetheless. It’s free, too. That’s it for now. I’ve got some things cooking so you might hear from me sooner than you’d think.

Hi friends! This will be the last issue of iPad . It’s bitter-sweet because I think we had a good run, and I wish I could continue and develop iPad according to plan, but alas, it’s just not possible. Better to wrap it up, then. I do have one more thing left: The iPad Office Toolkit. I’ll get back to you on a launch date for that when I have it, but it’ll be a couple of months at least. The iPad Office Toolkit will be released as an ebook with a one-time purchase. Paying subscribers will get the iPad Office Toolkit for free. Speaking of paying subscribers, all subscriptions have been canceled as of Monday. I am grateful for your support, it’s been such a boon to be able to write these newsletters, and it has all been possible because of you. I will get in touch with you regarding the iPad Office Toolkit closer to launch so that you can claim your copy. Furthermore, I’d like to thank all readers, paying or no, for these years with iPad . I’ve had a blast, and while it’s frustrating that I couldn’t make it grow enough to focus on it more, I’m still glad I ventured on this project. I’ve written hundreds of thousands of words ing the iPad, and I could’ve gone on to write even more, had things gone differently. As a thank you, I’ve unlocked all member posts so that everyone can read them. Thank you, all. iPad July 2020 – February 2023 — Thord D. Hedengren ⚡ ?? Thanks for reading iPad .

I’ve written about their Pro Stylus before , and how it compares to the Apple Pencil. I’ve been using the Zagg Pro Keys with Trackpad case for a while, and I have thoughts.

At least if you use an M1 or M2 equipped iPad, older iPads are stuck with screen mirroring, as before. So, is it any good, Stage Manager on an external monitor? No, not really. Everything I’ve written about it still stands , it’s buggy and confusing. It does make more sense on larger screens, and definitely on my XDR Display, but it’s also so very limited in the way you can arrange app windows. Not to mention that it crashes from time to time, still. It’s more stable than before, though, so there’s that. More on this at a later date, as well as the new Freeform app, which I’ve been using for some time. I’m looking forward to seeing how well it works for collaborations, now that it’s available for all.

I moved my email from Google, and it’s glorious, except when it isn’t, as you’ll soon find out. There’s no sense in standing on ceremony, so let’s get to it, shall we? As always, read below, or in the member’s area if you prefer. A few notes on moving to Proton as an iPad user ? This member post is free for all, thanks to our paying subscribers . Enjoy! I’ve been wanting to leave Google behind for some time now, at least when it comes to email. There’s something inherently evil about a corporation built on advertising reading your email, after all. I’ve tried multiple other email services in the past, and self-hosted my email as well, but Google’s been the best one when it comes to managing the obscene amount of spam I used to get. They’ve been a necessary evil if you will. Well, the past year or two, I’ve found a bit too many non-spam emails in the Spam folder, several of which were business opportunities for Divide & Conquer . That’s obviously not good, so it’s been on my to-do list to finally move elsewhere for some time. I took the plunge last week, for everything but the agency work email, a reason for which I’ll get to. My choice of email provider is Proton, a Swiss security-focused alternative that’s been around for a long time. You can get good deal for both private and business accounts, including VPN and their Calendar and Drive services. So, everything but the agency email is on Proton now, and has been for about a week. I have thoughts. Continue reading → For members only ↓ Sign up here → Issue #117: Can an iPhone replace an iPad? iPad #117 | Tuesday, 6 Dec 2022 | Read online Hi! How are you? I’m exhausted after having spent two weeks working, well, way beyond full time with two time-sensitive projects for an important client. It wasn’t planned like that on anyone’s behalf, but external factors threw both projects ( this was one ) in disarray, and, well, what’re you going to do? It ended well, at least, and sparked some interesting thoughts and trials for the upcoming iPad Office Toolkit. That’s not what this issue is about, though. Let’s talk about the iPhone, and wether it can replace an iPad. As always, read below, or in the member’s area if you prefer. Enjoy! Can an iPhone replace an iPad? ? This member post is free for all, thanks to our paying subscribers . Enjoy! There’s a really short answer to that particular question: It depends on what you’re doing on your device. (Well, duh.) The slightly longer one needs a bit of background. Why, after all, would I be thinking about things like this, as a dedicated iPad user? And why should you? Read on, as they say.

That’s how I feel about this, currently, and I’ve got the Oura data to prove it – nightmare style. Here’s a letter from the PowerPoint mines.
