Apple has unintentionally made one of the most fitting and revealing advertisements of the modern era.
My god. This horror perfectly encapsulates the feeling of life as the powerful wreak escalatingly careless and clueless destruction.

Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.

That nobody at Apple looked at this nightmare and vetoed it is everything you need to know. They were just in a hurry to sell some dumb, barely updated version of an old product and thought people would enjoy the visuals. And they gave us a perfect discordant horror show image.
I thought the hydraulic press was a bit much, but arguably, on paper, the iPad Pro is getting an impressive uplift.
Not a fan of the “ultra thin” decision, given my older iPads have gotten bends from sitting in backpacks, I think the screen aspect ratio is dated, and 13” is too big for what I need a tablet for.
Actually, I am thinking the ultra thin thing, while perhaps great for marketing, will backfire almost immediately from bent devices.
They need a new Steve Jobs type product guy.
"Ultra Thin" is another word for "nothing except the charging port"
Sadly, they might try to get rid of the charing port as well!
Hopefully, it seems the thing that saved it was EU law...?
