 There are two things that seem to be true about the plethora of articles written from people who say that they can’t get work done on an iPad Pro. First, they are Mac users. Second, they don’t seem to understand how iPad multi-tasking works. Or, they are grumpy that multi-tasking is different from their Mac.
 Yesterday when pointing out the stupidity of Ben Thompson’s Microsoft tweet I was in too much of a hurry to elaborate on one point. Here is his tweet again.

Imagine people arguing in 1998 that Microsoft deserves 30% of all software sales with zero alternatives allowed lmao – Ben Thompson Ben is completely wrong on his point.  Anybody who tuned into the latest episode of the Accidental Tech Podcast heard developer Marco Arment go off the rails in his 40 minute anti-Apple tantrum.

 I’ve switched to using an iPad Pro as my main device a few years ago but every now and then I try to get some work done on a MacBook Pro. Which rarely lasts more than a few hours before I’m running back to my iPad. Apple is slowly trying to modernize this aging platform but it still has a long way to go before it ever wins me back as a user.
 My 4-pack of Apple’s new AirTags arrived on Friday and these little things are amazing. You can now ping your keys just like your iPhone! My wife and two of my kids took 3 of the AirTags which left one for me.
