The Obvious Solution  When Apple unveiled their newly svelte 13" iPad Pro, they created a problem for me to which there is currently no solution. Granted, it’s a good problem. I’m having a terrible time deciding whether to stick with the same size (I currently use a 10.5"iPad Pro) or try and go big and order the larger one.
 I know some people who actually look forward to going out and getting deals after Thanksgiving. But not me. And normally I enjoy going out and shopping. I enjoy it as an event where my wife and I or my kids and I can go out and have a shared experience. Plus, it’s much nicer to be able to try on that jacket before you buy it or to pick up and compare different brands of a product. But Black Friday I do not enjoy.
Nilay Patel Is Wrong, Again  During the month of October, Apple seeded their iPad Pro with tech journalists in order to get advance reviews published the week of the launch. Only this group completely missed the mark of what an iPad is and who it’s for. I listened to Nilay Patel of The Verge go on and on in his podcast about how the iPad isn’t a real computer. He may as well have talked for thirty minutes about how the Earth must be flat. Because the fact that the iPad isn’t a real computer is news to people like me who’ve been using it as their primary computing device for years. In fact, I’m typing this blog post out on my 10.5” iPad Pro with Smart Keyboard cover in a restaurant.
 You could make a pretty good case that Apple uses the Apple Watch as a test bed for future iPhone design decisions. If you look at the new iPhone X and XS design of the bulbous stainless steel circling the black glass, I can’t help but think of the Apple Watch. I’m not complaining. It’s a beautiful design that ‘s ruined me on aluminum forever. I love the look of stainless steel and how easily it can be buffed to a brilliant shine.
