Lately, I've somehow managed to turn the concept of using an external keyboard with one's handset into a quasi-political, emotionally-charged issue. Corresponding with this doctrine was a specific narrative regarding the iPad Pro's introduction, symbolic of iPadOS' split from iOS, taking virtually all public-facing documentation of Bluetooth keyboard support with it. I even went so far as to describe it as a "[class issue](https://whyp.it/t/the-iphone-x-bluetooth-keyboard-issue-is-a-class-issue-45467¸)." In my defense, I was bitching under the assumption that greater attention from Apple, Inc. devoted to hardware keyboard support on the iPad would be to its *benefit*. Compared to the current state of said support on *iPhone*, the truth is... much more complicated. We'll get there, eventually. | ||

My boss and mother has run her private therapy practice entirely on her iPhone and MacBook Pro for years, now, but the latter - a 15-inch, mid-2015 model - saw its last supported named macOS update in Monterey. Though her example has stood up incredibly well considering it's been used daily for 7 years, it was/is approaching definite in-need-of-replacement status. In what I believed to be my wisdom, I suggested that she take a chance and buy a top-of-the-line iPad Pro instead of another MacBook, mainly because I felt the design priorities of the latter - centering around thinness and sheer computing grunt - had long since departed relevance in her day-to-day computing life, and that the money would be better spent on something "different." I went so far as to suggest she buy the latest, largest, second-highest-capacity iPad Pro model[^1] with basically everything aside from cell connectivity.[^2] | ||

In further, probably unnecessary defense of this suggestion, I'll note that it was arrived upon with great care. A very substantial consideration behind the insistence involved my readership/membership of *MacStories* and their *Club MacStories* program, specifically. Federico Viticci, founder of *MacStories*, famously, has been using an iPad as his primary computer for going on a whole decade, by now. | ||
