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.

Believe.

Realizing that we haven’t explored enough of our city, my family and I decided to spend our Saturday afternoon in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle.
