This video is about how I’m using an iPad during the day in a freelance software developer’s life.
I expect that soon we will see new iPad Pro models released, so that’s good timing to review my iPad using habits and decide whether I need to upgrade or skip one more generation.
I’m still on iPad 9’7 Pro. I hope to see reasons for an upgrade this spring and after WWDC beta releases.
