Apple’s new iPad Pro looks like a winning tablet

Hello friends! Welcome to Installer #37, your guide to the best and most modern things in the world. (If you are new here, welcome, send me the links and you can also read all the old releases on the Installer home page.)

This week I wrote about iPads AND LinkedIn Gamesread about car shows AND typewriters AND treasure hunterswatching They’re all in Los Angeles AND Sugarlooking for reasons to buy New Yeti French Press although I definitely don’t need more coffee equipment, following almost all of them Jerry Saltz’s Favorite Instagram Accounts, testing Possibilities AND Heptabase for all my note taking needs and Plinky for all my link saving and frequent gaming Blind drive.

I’ve also got a really impressive new iPad for you, a slick new smart home hub, a Twitter documentary to watch this weekend, a sci-fi show to watch, a cheap streaming device, and more. Let’s do it.

New iPad Pro. The new Pro is easily the most impressive hardware I’ve seen in a while. It’s so thin and light, and that OLED screen… gorgeous. It’s incredibly expensive, and the iPad’s biggest problem is still software, but that’s how you build a tablet, people.

Animal well. Our friends at Polygon called it “one of the most inventive games of the last decade,” which is obviously high praise! In every way it is extraordinary, surprising, sometimes frustrating, highly intelligent and incredibly addictive. Even the trailer is unlike anything I’ve seen before. (I received a lot of recommendations for this copy this week – thank you to everyone who sent it!)

The final version of the camera. This was only mentioned at an Apple event this week, but it’s a really big deal! It’s the first professional camera app for iPhone and iPad that provides plenty of manual control and editing features. This is exactly what many creators have been asking for. We don’t know exactly when it will be available yet, but I’m excited.

Aqara M3 hub. The only way to manage a smart home is to make sure your devices support as many assistants, protocols and platforms as possible. This seems to be the way to go about it: It’s a Matter-ready device that can handle almost any smart home hardware you throw at it.

“Clipboard Manager Battle“ I don’t think I’ve ever linked to a Reddit thread here, but check this one out: It’s a long discussion on why the clipboard manager is a useful tool, plus some good options to choose from. (I agree with everyone who loves Raycast, but there are a lot of choices and ideas here.)

Proton Pass. My #1 constant tech tip is that everyone needs a password manager. I’ve been here for a long time 1Password fan, but Proton’s app is starting to look tempting – this week it got a new security threat monitoring tool, on top of all the smart email hiding and sharing features it already has.

Onn 4K Pro. Basically all streaming devices are full of ads, slow and bad. This Google TV box from Walmart is at least cheap, has voice control and supports all the required specifications, and also works as a smart speaker. I also like the customizable button.

Dark matter. I’ve enjoyed most of all the Blake Crouch sci-fi books I’ve read, so I have high hopes for the Apple TV Plus series about life in a parallel universe. By the way, Apple TV Plus? Really good at this whole sci-fi thing.

Wordle Archive. Over 1000 days of Wordle, all ready to play and replay (because, let’s be honest, who remembers Wordle from three weeks ago?). I don’t have access to the archive yet, but you better believe I’ll play it all the way through as soon as it’s released.

Black Twitter: A People’s Story. Based on the truly entertaining Wired series, it’s a three-part, in-depth Hulu documentary that tells the story of how Black Twitter took over social media and explores the online experience of some of the biggest events of the last decade.

Kylie Robinson, The Verge’s new senior artificial intelligence reporter, the other day she tweeted a video of her old iPhone, which was like a perfect time capsule. She had about 90,000 games, including some that I’m 100% sure were scams, and the iPod logo on her dock made me feel so emotional. Those were good days.

I messaged Kylie on Slack about eight minutes after she joined the Verge, hoping I could convince her to share her current home screen – and what she was doing at her job before joining us.

Unfortunately, she claims she tamed the chaos on the home screen before she started because it was about professionalism or something. And now he swears he can’t even find a screenshot of his old home screen! Sure, KYLIE. Anyway, here’s Kylie’s newly functional home screen and some information about the apps she uses and why.

Telephone: iPhone 14 ProMax.

Wallpaper: Black screen, otherwise it seems too loud to me. (However, my lock screen has about 20 rotating photos.)

Apps: Apple Maps, Notes, Spotify, Messaging, FaceTime, Safari, Phone.

I have to have the calendar and weather apps right in front of me when I unlock my phone because I forget. I use Spotify for everything related to music and podcasts.

Work is life, so I also have all these applications in the spotlight (Signal, Google Drive, Okta).

Right before we started, I rearranged my phone screen because 1) I had time and 2) I knew I would have to show it to David. All apps are now sorted into folders, but previously they were completely accessible because I used the search bar to find apps; I rarely scroll. So imagine about 25 random apps filling all the pages: Pegasus for some international flight I booked, a random recipe for stuffed peppers, what have you.

I also asked Kylie to share some of the things she’s currently interested in. Here’s what she shared:

• Stardew Valley took over my life during a break at work.
• I actually started 3 Body problem due to old installer. Besides, I loved it Fall and I need more episodes.
• My serious guilty pleasure is Love Island in Great Britainand I watched the last season during the break.

Here’s what the installer community is up to this week. I also want to know what you are doing now! Email installer@theverge.com or message me on Signal – my name is @davidpierce.11 ​​- with your recommendations on anything, and we’ll feature some of our favorites here each week. If you want even more recommendations, check out the replies to this post in Threads.

“I always thought Spotify’s recommendation algorithm and music channels were terrible; way too much fuss and customization and all I want to do is launch the game and get some good, varied music that I like. So I finally gave in and tried it Pandora Again. The recommendation/station algorithm is so much better than Spotify’s (at least for me), it’s shocking how it seemed to fade into cultural anonymity. I can’t speak for others, but if anyone is similarly frustrated with Spotify playlists, I highly recommend the Pandora option.” – Will be

“Everything that comes out Netflix is ​​a joke festival it was 10/10.” -Mike

“Cape mod for Skyrim (and Fallout 4). Not so much a single mod, but a mod and a collection of apps that give (basically) each NPC their own life and stories. It’s like they’re suddenly allowed to participate in the fun and games with Woody and Buzz, instead of having to force them to say the words while you pull the strings.” – Jonathan

” Snipd podcast app (whose main selling point is AI-powered podcast transcription and the ability to easily capture, manage, and export text snippets from podcasts) has a new feature that displays the name, bio, and photo to podcast guests, and also lets you find more podcasts with the same guest and even follow specific guests. Pretty cool!” – Andy

“I recently bought a new Kindle and I’m trying to figure out how to get news about it! My current plan is to use Omnivorous as my bookmarks app that will be synced with this amazing social media tool that converts these bookmarks to Kindle friendly site” – David

“Turtles all the way down! “Great show OCD.” – Saad

“With all the talk about Delta for iOS, I recently purchased it and am in love with it Miyo Mini Plus. It’s customizable and the perfect size, and as I get older and don’t care much for Fortnite, PUBG, or any of the countless online games, it’s nice to go back and play some of those “legally obtained” games I used to play in childhood .” – Benjamin

“Rusty’s retirement is a great, mostly idle farm simulation that sits at the bottom or side of your monitor for both Mac and Windows. Rusty just goes and does small tasks on his own while you work or do other things. It rules. Look how he’s leaving!” – Brendon

“Last week, Nicholas talked about YACReader and asked for another great app for reading comics in DRM-free files. After much research, I decided to go for it Panels for iPad. Great Apple-native UI, thoughtful features, and decent performance. The free version supports your local library, but to unleash its full potential, the Pro version (minor or lifetime) supports iCloud, so you can store all your comics in iCloud Drive, manage files via your Mac, and download only what you want to read – perfect solution for low-end iPads with less storage space.” – Diogo

I have spent a lot of time over the years trying to understand and explain to people the basics of how a camera works. There are a billion metaphors for ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, but they’re all inadequate. That’s probably why many photographers I know treat it as great fun depth of field simulator over the last few days, allowing you to play around with aperture, focal length, sensor size, and more to understand how different settings affect the way you take photos. It’s a really clever and simple way to see how it all works and understand what becomes possible when you really start controlling your camera. I suspect I’ll be sharing this link often and learning a lot from it.
