This week, many reviews were posted of the new iPad Air 3. Here is a good one from Rene Ritchie of iMore. Nathan Ingraham of Engadget. calls it "just right." And Jason Cross of Macworld calls it The Sweet Spot. If you want to get a lot done with your iPad in a law practice, the iPad Pro is fantastic, and I wouldn't want to live without the 12.9" screen on the larger version. But if you don't want to spend that much money, the iPad Air 3 looks like a fantastic product for many attorneys. I've already recommended it to multiple people at my law firm who were looking to upgrade from an older iPad but couldn't justify the cost of an iPad Pro. And now, the other news of note from this week:
- Brett Burney of the Apps in Law website and podcast reviews Terminology, a sophisticated dictionary / thesaurus that appears to be especially useful on an iPad.
- Zac Hall of 9to5Mac reviews Lutron's new HomeKit-compatible Fan Speed Control.
- Christine Chan of iMore shows off some fun stickers that you can use to customize your AirPods Charging Case.
- Benjamin Mayo of 9to5Mac discusses the new Anker PowerCore Fusion, a USB-C wall charger that you can also take with you and use as a portable battery.
- Michael Potuck of 9to5Mac reports that Apple's Clips app was updated this week. It now includes a fun camcorder filter, plus blue background title cards similar to what camcorders used to produce, so that you can use the latest technology to make something that looks like it was made in the 1980s.
- And finally, this week Apple released on YouTube a three-minute short movie called The Underdogs. It tells the story of a scrappy team of office workers with a chance to sell their great idea. The point of the video is to show off how the iPad and other Apple products can be used to get work done, but the video itself is funny and nicely done. Worth watching:
