Apple will start selling the iPad Pro and its little buddy, the Apple Pencil stylus, in November. We don't have a release date yet, but Roger Fingas of AppleInsider reports that both products were approved this week by the FCC. Rumors are that Apple will start taking pre-orders in the next week or so, with shipments starting in the first week of November. And now, the news of note from the past week:
- Lit Software previews what TrialPad will look like on the larger iPad Pro.
- California attorney David Sparks discusses the apps on the home screen of his iPhone.
- Jonny Evans of Computerworld has a good list of iOS 9 tips.
- Jared Newman of PCWorld reports that JetBlue is starting free and fast Wi-Fi service on its flights — fast enough to even stream video.
- Michael Rosenwald of the Washington Post reports that Gary Allen has passed away. For many years, Allen published the definitive website on Apple retail stores, and he visited more stores and had more experiences in lines outside of Apple Stores than anyone else. He will be missed.
- Allyson Kazmucha discusses some of the reasons that 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s is great. I love it too.
- Federico Viticci of MacStories reports on the new versions of Pages and Numbers for iOS released by Apple this week.
- Stephen Hackett of 512 Pixels reviews the new Notes app in iOS 9.
- And finally, have you ever wanted to be in the middle of a music video? You can do so if you load this 3D YouTube video on your iPhone or iPad and make it full screen. Then move your device around while the video plays and you will be in the middle of the action. If you have a chair that swivels, it is fun to sit in that chair and spin around with your iPhone or iPad in your hand while the video is playing. The video is embedded below, but to make it work I think that you need to click or tap here to load the video in the YouTube app. This is a song from the Andrew Lloyd Weber upcoming Broadway show School of Rock — the Musical.
