I’ve had a few hours to use Affinity Photo for iPad and my initial impression is that this is exactly the kind of powerful graphics app we need for the iPad. Looking forward to Affinity Designer!

As excited as I am for the new iPad and iOS features: Affinity Photo!!!! Fantastic and a bargain at $19.99
Wowza. That was a crazy #WWDC Keynote! Looks like iOS for iPad is everything we wanted. New iPad 12.9″ ordered!
WWDC in 28 minutes. Going to be a big one for the iPad both in terms of iOS and hardware. 🤓🍿🙏
Agreed with Dan Moren on this. The big picture is increasingly important as so many layers or components come together. WWDC 2017: One more big thing
Pre-WWDC Apple Nerdery
Wow. So much going on in the run-up to WWDC. As most have said, it looks to be a big one with likely hardware announcements. Apple seems to be releasing bits of news this week that would normally have been in the keynote prompting many to suggest that they are making way for a jam-packed presentation.
I’m not an educator but if I were I’d be very excited about what Apple is doing with Swift Playgrounds. The next update, due Monday, expands coding education to robots, drones and musical instruments :
Apple is working with leading device makers to make it easy to connect to Bluetooth-enabled robots within the Swift Playgrounds app, allowing kids to program and control popular devices, including LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3, the Sphero SPRK+, Parrot drones and more.
That’s going to be a lot of fun. On the topic of Swift, Fraser Speirs has an excellent post about teaching Swift over the past year.
I’m looking forward to new iPads being announced and hopefully the long rumored and hoped for “Siri Speaker”. And of course all of us iPad nerds are hoping for big iPad features with iOS 11. We never know until Apple announces it but I have a feeling (as do many others) that we’re going to see some great stuff Monday!
Spent far too much time this evening trying to configure micro-blog posting.
