Magic Keyboard

So you're very minimal in your Apple tech with just an iPad.

I mean, like, even the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil, you're going ESR things.

At least it's ESR.

ESR is great.

So then if I'm gonna go, like, somewhere with my iPad, I pop the iPad into the slip case, along with the screen protector that's already there.

It does fit in there with my, uh, my, uh, Magic Keyboard as well.

So then I have all of the things that I might want at once, and it's great.

I love it.

[laughs]

... other Magic Keyboards.

It's left one with the, the characters.

I have no idea why.

I think that you need to, to make it up to your audience with a dedicated video-

Well, listen, we did get-

咦？

Okay, excellent tip.

While we're on hardware, I mean, a hardware device, I've said this before in the podcast, but I just have to, to talk about it, the Mapple, the Apple Magic Keyboard-

[laughs]

... for iPad.

You, you had this for years.

I never had one 'cause I'm like, "I don't use a keyboard with my iPad that much." I will tell you, it is so nice to have a device that just makes my iPad more than it was before.

Everything that I always used my iPad for, using my, my stylus, my Apple Pencil and anything else, was all the same, but once I added the Magic Keyboard, I started to do even more with it because of the keyboard, because it's so much easier to type.

I don't have to, like, find an external keyboard and sync it.

Yeah

... on, on the iPad Pro and on the Magic Keyboard.

It's a retro Apple six colors thing that I got from this website called Slickwraps.

And that is-

Then the MacBook Neo was announced, and many people were mildly disappointed that it was a cheap Mac laptop rather than a super portable one, me included.

Still, the headline features appealed to me: a 13-inch screen, full-sized Magic Keyboard, the same weight as the Air, and some interesting and saturated body colors.

I had an iPad Mini, the latest A17 Pro model, which I mostly use sitting up in bed in the evenings.

I watched video via Plex and YouTube, caught up on RSS feeds in NetNewsWire, checked forums, and occasionally looked at Slack, Mastodon, email or family iMessage conversations.
