Apple Pencil! iPad with procreate is bread and butter. It was what got me to go for the pro.
The 2018 iPad 6th gen is also compatible with the Apple Pencil :)
I’m not surprised that the iPad has a decline. My son has a few year old 9.7” iPad and it works great still. Consume media very easily and even have games. I can notice the difference between it and my 2018 iPad Pro but I could see people are just not going buy new ones every year or two. I’d like the M1 iPad Pro but it’s not worth the jump in price.
And yet, the stock goes down. Market expectation is truly unpredictable. FB missed revenue expectation and went up.
Because of something called P/E ratio
It is not.
It is about guidence for the next quater - Apple Posted Another Great Quarter. The Next One Might Not Be As Good. (apple themselves say)

When a new data point comes in, the market adjusts its estimate. That can be lower than it was, certainly if its previous estimate was too high.
It seems the market expected Apple to do even better.

Why does it need to die?
There is absolutely zero need for USB-A. None. It does nothing whatsoever that USB-C can't do, and there are ton of things that USB-C can do better. There is no need for two USB "mid sized" plug standards - and obviously USB-C is now the dominant. Almost every single peripheral, device, component, that can run on USB-A runs on USB-C. And there is a huge contingent of devices that could never run on USB-A. As soon as…
What's the USB-C story nowadays if you have N USB-C peripherals and M USB-C ports where N > M?
Most USB-C hubs seem to have one USB-C for connecting to the computer, one USB-C for connecting to a peripheral, and then a bunch of USB-A for connecting to more peripherals.
To get something that actually increases the number of USB-C peripherals, especially if more than one of your peripherals needs more than low power, and is reliable it appears that you have to get a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 dock and it is pretty pricey.
Until there are cheap reliable 1 to many USB-C hubs USB-A is not going to go away.

Find a new wired mouse with a USB C connector. USB A isn't dead just yet. Also doesn't really help in the scenario where maybe you need to grab files off a client or colleague's flash drive...
That's because no one even makes them anymore e.g. Logitech has ZERO normal wired mice. So of course you're seeing USB-A mice because they are probably old models from the 2000s.
They have two USB-A mice and one mouse that has USB-C, Bluetooth, and their own wireless interface. Depending on what you mean by "normal" that is either 3 or 2 normal wired mice.

Is the "Services" category under Net Sales where they're sticking the app store/B2B service revenue (ads, payments)?

The Surface has come a long way. I had (and still have) a Surface Pro 3 that had pretty much everything going for it: excellent build quality, great high-res screen, nice optional keyboard and decent PC-grade specs. There were two major flaws, though: 1. Linux support was pretty bad. You needed a custom kernel for an enjoyable experience, and even that was pretty unusable on anything other than x11 GNOME. 2. The over…
I have a m3 Surface Go 2. It's making a fairly decent Linux tablet with Arch using Gnome 42 (Wayland) and the mainline kernel. The camera doesn't work well, but everything else does including LTE. It's actually a ton faster in Linux, but with a bit worse battery life. The biggest flaw with using Linux on the earlier Surface line was the shit Marvell Wifi. That would drop out all the time. So glad they switched to Int…

am I alone in appreciating the touch bar? I just love being able to press debug, step over and into code, switch to a different window and be able to quickly access context aware functionality. Oh and its so damn quiet and fast, I'm loving the M1 processor downside are the two usb-c and the endless accessories that are quite expensive
I had a touchbar mac since it came out and i probably touched the touchbar around 3 times
