Release Notes was the best conference I’ve ever attended, leaving out the location. It was thoughtfully crafted with ample time to talk to fellow conference goers after first class talks. But the location was pretty great, too. I promise I didn’t skip a moment of the talks.
Happy iPadOS day! This update is awesome. I have already made iPad my go to computer for a few years, seldom using my Mac. This update makes that experience a whole lot better. Excited to see how third party apps begin to use the new APIs.
