The 9.7-inch iPad Pro Color Gamut
I was working late one night a few weeks ago and saw a tweet by Craig Hockenberry that immediately piqued my interest. The new iPad Pro 9.7-inch model had just been announced, with an intriguing new True Tone display feature that adjusts the screen’s color temperature based on the ambient light in the room. And ...

ColorSync Support in iOS 9.3 (!)
Shortly after Apple announced the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro, I wrote a very quick take on the new True Tone display feature. True Tone automatically adjusts the color temperature of the iPad’s screen to complement the ambient light of your surroundings. For example, have you ever been in a room with warm light and checked ...

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro and the Missing USB 3 Speed
I write this knowing that it sounds like I have a particularly odd spec fixation, but it’s something my brain keeps coming back to. The newly-announced 9.7-inch iPad Pro (yes, that’s the official name) is in many ways just like the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but with a different-sized screen. They’re both powered by A9X processors ...

iPad Pro 9.7-inch and the Curious True Tone Display
Apple today introduced a 9.7-inch version of the iPad Pro, and I think it’s the next iPad for me.

It was better for reading and certainly better ...

Quick Lightning to SD Card Adapter Speed Comparison
I’ve just received Apple’s newest Lightning to SD Card adapter, which provides USB 3 speeds when transferring photos to an iPad Pro (see more here). I performed a quick import of 40 Raw+JPEG images totaling 1.5 GB of data using the new adapter and the old one on an iPad Pro. Watch here: Results: Loading ...

USB 3 Lightning to SD Card Reader Now Available
Apple now offers for sale a new Lightning to SD Card Reader with two noticeable improvements over the current one: It supports USB 3 speeds on the iPad Pro, and in an unexpected but welcome surprise, allows you to import photos to an iPhone, not just an iPad. The adapter costs $29 and, according to ...

iPad Pro Lightning Port Is USB 3 Speed
Update, Nov. 12, 2015: I just confirmed with a source at Apple that there are forthcoming adapters that take advantage of the USB 3 speeds, but they aren’t yet confirming when they will ship. That’s bare-bones Apple-ese for “Yep, and you’ll find out more when we’re ready.” As iPad Pro units are now shipping, people ...

The iPad Pro is now officially available: order it from the Apple Store or use the Apple Store app, and possibly even pick one up at your closest Apple Retail store if it’s in stock. Apple is sending a review unit to me at the end of the week, so for now I must scour ...
