Does Size Matter?

Spice brings you an exclusive first look of the thinner and sharper newly released iPad Air and iPad Pro

At London's iconic Battersea Power Station, now home to Apple's gargantuan UK head quarters, global media and tech creator royalty gather to hear Tim Cook’s signature keynote address. While Apple’s on-ground events usually occur at their Cupertino home base, the choice of conducting this mega launch at their London headquarters is interesting.

Be that as it may, in the cavernous interiors of the Battersea Power Station, I get my hands on the newly released iPad Air and Pro models, along with their ancillary accessories.

For context, I am a heavy iPad Air (5th generation) user, and excessively dependent on the Apple Pencil too (more on that later). When coupled with the Magic Keyboard, the lines between working on an iPad Air and a MacBook are significantly blurred, the former offering more portability and the capacity to perform almost all the tasks of the latter, including editing 4K videos that I create and edit on the go.
