There's a version of you that needs an iPad Pro.

There's a version of you that needs an iPad Mini.

The tricky part is working out which one you actually are.

My latest video will help you do just that👇

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

The iPad Pro is the most powerful and most expensive tablet Apple ever made. But a good portion of people who own one use it to check emails and watch YouTube.


I switched back to the iPad Mini recently. And I use it every single day.

So here's my question — if you own an iPad, what did you buy it for, and what do you ACTUALLY use it for?

That famous 'Apple tax' just got a whole lot…taxier.

Pretty sure that's a word.

Apple raised prices across almost its entire lineup earlier this week. I've got a full video covering everything:

🔸What prices actually changed
🔸 Why Apple says this happened
🔸 Why parts of their explanation don't hold up
🔸 Whether the MacBook Neo is still worth buying (spoiler: it isn't)
🔸 How to pay less anyway
🔸 And the questions nobody has good answers to yet

Well worth watching before you spend any money on Apple kit this year. 👇

🚨Apple just raised prices on almost everything. Effective immediately.

Mac, iPad, HomePod, Vision Pro — all up.

The iPhone is the only thing untouched, and Tim Cook has already hinted that won’t last forever.

The reason? Memory. AI datacenters are hoovering up global chip supply, DRAM costs nearly doubled in Q1 alone, and Apple says it can no longer absorb the hit.

The average increase across the lineup is $269.

Some of it is manageable. The MacBook Neo going from $599 to $699 stings, but it’s still a $699 laptop. The Mac Studio M3 Ultra jumping $1,300 overnight is a different conversation entirely.

Full breakdown in the graphic. Drop a 😬 if this affects something you were planning to buy.

It's the Amazon Prime Day event this week— I'll be featuring some of my favourite deals here all of this week, and this one's a strong start.

The ‪@PlaudAI‬ Note Pro and NotePin S are both 15% off — on Amazon AND the official Plaud site.

If you've been sat on the fence about AI voice recording, this is probably the moment to jump off it.

◦ Note Pro → the full-featured MagSafe AI recorder with on-device transcription, phone call recording and more summaries than you can shake a stick at.

◦ NotePin S → the wearable. Clips on, records everything, gets out of your way.

Both are legitimately good and the software that runs them is better than anything else I've tested. I've used both in my setup for years now.

So it turns out that the experience of using Siri in iPadOS 27 is pretty different. And no, not a feature-bump-with-silly-AI-image-generation, it's a night vs day difference.

My new hands-on video is up — I'll show you how the current beta works on both my iPad Mini and iPad Pro, and run through which features are coming to which iPads.


Well worth watching before the public beta drops in July. 👇

Apple barely showed any footage of iPads running the new OS in last week’s WWDC keynote. So I thought I’d take matters into my own hands.

This week I’ve been putting the new iPadOS27 developer beta through its paces. It’s surprisingly stable and Siri AI is (and I can’t believe I’m saying this), working as advertised.

What do you want to see me test in my iPadOS27 roundup video?

Picture the scene: I'm halfway through making a video about Apple's Freeform app. And then Apple release an update that fixes half the things I was complaining about.

It's times like this when life gives you a choice. Scrap the video. Or...send in Future Mark.

I went with Future Mark.

For anyone who hasn't met Future Mark before — he shows up when something happens mid-edit that's too important to ignore, but too late to reshoot. He appears on screen, delivers the news, and then disappears again. A bit like a time traveller, but with less hair and a slightly annoyed outlook.

This time, Future Mark had some genuinely good news about what Apple have changed in Freeform with OS27. Stuff that a lot of people have been waiting a long time for.

The full video covers everything you need to know about Freeform — what it is, whether it's actually worth using, and how to get the most out of it. Plus the updates.

Plus Future Mark.

Curious to know, how many of you have used Freeform on an Apple device?

Apple promised us the future of AI in 2024. They under-delivered so badly they actually got sued for it. So how does 2026's version actually hold up?

New video is up — full WWDC breakdown with an iPad lean, with no fluff. And I've got early hands-on with the iPadOS27 developer beta, including actually testing the new Gemini-powered photo reframing tool on a real image.
