My iPad Obsession
iPhone Life Magazine
|Spring 2025
In 2010, Apple announced the iPad. Despite its lack of a keyboard, I believed in the concept so much, I preordered the iPad and bought Apple stock.
-

I provide this backstory to justify why I own so many iPads (even though it’s obviously overkill).
I have a 2024 blue iPad mini; a 2024 space gray iPad Air; and a 2021 silver iPad Pro as well as a myriad of Apple and thirdparty keyboards. I also have two Apple Pencils I never use.
If you are in the market for an iPad, here is what I recommend. First, future-proof your purchase by making sure the iPad supports Apple Intelligence as all my iPads do. Now, in its infancy, Apple Intelligence will play a major role in the iPad future. Currently, Apple Intelligence on the iPad can write text and generate images; prioritize and summarize notifications, email, and messages; search for photos by description; and integrates with ChatGPT.
