MobileViews Podcast 322: The new iPad Pro & Macbook Air

Things that have changed since our previous podcast two weeks ago. In this podcast, Jon Westfall and I discuss:

  1. CNBC: Some drive-in movie theaters are making a comeback amid coronavirus
  2. Newsweek: BABY CHICKENS SOLD OUT NATIONWIDE AHEAD OF EASTER AS AMERICANS PANIC-BUY FEATHERY FRIENDS FOR COMFORT
  3. UNACAST
  4. iPad Pro 2020 11 & 12.9 inch models
  5. Magic Keyboard with trackpad available in May and very expensive: I can’t convince myself to spend $299 to buy a keyboard. Especially after the terrible experience with the earlier iPad Pro smart keyboard.
  6. Smart Folio for iPad Pro 11 at $79 is not worth it. The magnetic back keeps falling off. Wish it had a front cover cutout for the cameras when the lid is flipped to the back
  7. Macbook Air 2020
    Starts at $999. $1,299 configuration that has a quad-core Core i5 and doubles the storage to 512GB
  8. Magic Keyboard like the one introduced for the 2019 Macbook Pro and the version for the iPad Pro that will be in available in May for $300 or more depending on size
  9. The Verge
  10. Really nice shortcut for those who journal with Day One – Download the frontpage of the NY Times to your journal. Really helpful to have context for how the day was going for the world + you. Jon has started going back to January 1 of this year and filling them in.
  11. Apple COVID-19 Screening Tool
