Episode 36: The 2020 iPad Pro

The Icon Garden

They call it a cursor because it makes you curse.

For our thirty-sixth regular show, after spending a couple of weeks with it, Jake shares his impressions of the new iPads Pro and iOS 13.4. Does it live up to the hype? Is it worth the upgrade? Can Jake live with an 11 inch screen? The HomeKit chronicles continues the project of going off-book with HomeBridge, this time testing out if it can work with pool controls! All that and news too! Bonus commentary on our Work From Home successes and woes.
