MBW 808: Surprises and Delights

Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…

What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

The new iPad Air looks great, but it still comes up short in a few areas compared to the 2021 iPad Pro 11. The latter offers more storage, a brighter ProMotion display, Face ID, quad speakers, an additional ultrawide camera lens and LiDAR scanner, faster Thunderbolt connector. There are probably some smaller differences I’m missing as well. To me, the 128GB iPad Pro 11 is worth the $200 premium over the 64GB iPad Air, even if just for the extra storage and Face ID. Being able to just swipe up or press the spacebar when using it with the keyboard is a tiny nicety that adds up over thousands of unlocks; ditto for using LastPass to fill passwords and not having to reach up to use a Touch ID sensor.
