 I’ve long held the theory that more and more Mac users are abandoning the Mac platform but it is Windows switchers which are keeping the Mac business alive. I seem to frequently bump into former Mac users who are either all iPad or only use their Macs for specific purposes any more. Why? Because they find their iPad is both cheaper and easier to carry around. Not too mention the iPad is a lot easier to manage and you can use the same apps that you’re already familiar with from your phone.
 I hate desk clutter. So when I first laid eyes on Kensington’s new iPad StudioDock, I knew that this device, as Marie Kondo would say, would bring joy to my life. And it hasn’t disappointed. I was able to combine an iPhone charger, Apple Watch Charger, USB Hub, iPad Stand, and iPad charger all into one device with a fairly small desk footprint. That alone was worth every penny.
 I wasn’t surprised in the least today when Apple unveiled their new iPadOS which included greatly enhanced external monitor support. If you look at the progress of iPadOS over the last 3 years, there is no way you couldn’t come to the conclusion that having an extended desktop on an external monitor wasn’t the next logical progression.
 For years Apple pundits like Jason Snell have been openly placing the interests of their developer friends over their iPhone purchasing audience so that they can be the toast of the cocktail parties at their annual WWDC gatherings. According to Jason et al it is Apple’s fault that you can’t purchase Kindle books within the Kindle app within iOS.
