New tech for the blog

Posted on

I realised recently that the time had come to replace both my iPad and my aging iPhone, not least because battery lives do eventually fade, and both of them were becoming something of a nuisance for this reason. There isn't always a readily available plug to recharge from.

So, having done my research I set off for the Apple Store in Cambridge today and spent some of the donations made to this blog on an iPad Pro and an iPhone 14 Pro, both chosen because they provide more opportunity to produce better quality material for this blog and for videos than any of the other options available.

I also added a Logitech keyboard for the iPad, and was amused that the Apple Store staff did not, themselves, recommend the Apple alternative. That keypad is amazing - perhaps the best typing experience that I have ever had.

The quality of dictation processing is also very high. I guess using the latest chips helps this, but it also reduces the stress in my arms given the number of words I write a day.

So, my thanks to those who helped fund these purchases.  The blog will be the better for them - and the old phone is being recycled for use by someone else. The old iPad will be a back up until it fades away.
