I am 84 and I think this latest IOS features have transformed both the iPad and phone, especially the phone. Having now down downloaded it I love. Asked my 17 year old grand daughter and asked her today if she had downloaded it, she said yes and agreed with me, she is also loving it.
Regarding a calculator my 3 year old iPad has always had a calculator app.

New subscriber, Rich. I’m 70 and just now semi-retired. I have been a farm and ranch broker for 20 years in Central Oregon. I use an iPad Pro M2. I have always been an early adopter - I still have my first palm pilot from 1984. I am going to enjoy your content, I can tell. Jim

whatever brand microphone you're using should sponsor your videos... works great!

I had an ipad for a couple of years in order travel. While still doing home computing on a very slow / stuck windows PC. Shared with hubby. For years. Then I took the plunge and bought myself a used Macbook . It took me a while but not once did I regret. Hubby still on his tortoise machine 😅.. 🛠️

Thanks. I appreciate your calm presentation.

Great review of the newest helpful features on ISO. I think a videos on the basics of Numbers and Pages would be helpful to us older folks. For those of us trying to make a transition from MS to ISO, the basics of entering data into spread sheet and word document are quite different. I have looked at a few but, they all go so fast. Your explanation’s and demonstration are very helpful and they certainly are not rushed.

Hello Rich thank you for the information. I’m having problems with taking notes since the os18 update. I’m sure it’s a setting but I cannot figure it out. The problem is the system is changing my hand writing to type text. I just want it to stop. Just let me keep my own hand written notes. 😂

How is it that I have never seen your videos come up in my searches or on the home page of the YouTube App, since I spend more time on here than I care to admit? I won’t miss them now because I subscribed. I can’t tell you how nice it is to watch videos about the iPad mainly, but also the iPhone more now that I plan to upgrade from the iPhone Pro Max 11 this year, that the creator doesn’t talk a mile a minute. I was excited to get the public beta too! I have been a beta tester for the iPad for years, but this one, I couldn’t wait for.

Great video! If you have a bunch of reminders dated to the same day - aren’t they going to clutter up calendar?

Enjoy your enthusiasm showing new features.

This release along with the m4 iPad Pro is nothing short of awesome

Great little video - thank you! Like you I’m signed up to the public beta programme but after downloading latest release tonight your video popped up on YT - great timing. The pace is just right too.

Great video. The iPad has become much more usable in the last few years. The password manager is excellent - I do hope it is included with the update to Mac OS and syncs with Keychain? I'm not fussed about the Photos App or the pretty Wallpaper which are just fluff to me personally. One thing I do wish Apple would look at is the Books App - it’s far too clunky. I read lots of PDF reports and papers so I use it as a PDF reader mainly but it can be a challenge to get the PDF 'into' Books.

Great content! As a tech challenged retiree, you are my “go to” source .

Why not add a “design” calculator, that helps one to design different items, bridges, buildings, cars etc

[lindamorse]

Thank you. Lets us know when this available

Rich I have noticed that you never use a keyboard. Have you tried the Apple Magic Keyboard (outrageous expensive for the product), or Logitech's keyboards. I have used the Logitech keyboards for a long time but this year I updated my iPad Air 2022 to an iPad Pro (m4 chip) and decided to try the Apple Magic Keyboard. Quite honestly I prefer the Logitech keyboards. Pros and Cons: Pros 1- The keyboard is very comfortable to use 2- It works when writing foreign languages (I do that a lot) 3- The trackpad is smaller 4- Their support in general is very good. 5- It really protects the iPad better than the Apple Magic Keyboard. Cons: Too heavy but if you use it mostly on a desk setup the weight is not a problem

Looks like handy upgrades now I can plan a new I Pad purchase to upgrade my Old IPad Air than you for your presentation 🙂

Good summary and demos. Will this work on my iPad Mini 6 ? And, can I use Math Notes with the Handwriting to Text feature, rather than leaving my handwriting on the display?
