Just Like Magic

A couple of months ago my first generation iPad (which had served me marvelously for years) lost some key abilities. Apps loaded sluggishly or not at all, and the battery needed to be charged almost every night.

I added new iPad to my Christmas list, with the clarification it didn't need to be the latest model, just newer than what I had. On Christmas morning I was thrilled to open up a box containing exactly what I wanted. My new toy does everything I need it to do in a timely manner, and all my missing functionality is back.

Setting up the new device was amazingly easy, thanks to the wonders of Apple Air Drop. My original tablet didn't have that ability, but my iPhone does. All I had to do was bring the phone close enough to the new iPad and wait a few minutes... just like magic all of the correct apps showed up. Five years ago today: A List To Live By

      I plan on using this one for as many years as the first one.

    I love the ease of Apple products and how they interact with one another. At one time I wanted an iPad but now I cannot justify it. My iPhone and MacBook Pro do the job for me. Terry keeps talking about updating his tablet, but like me, he's happy with his phone and laptop.

      My desk computer is Apple, and both Tony and I have iPhones. The ease at which our calendars sync is amazing. However, I think I will still keep a Windows-based laptop, because I like some of its programs better.

    I have never programmed a new device, it always goes to my son first and he does it, then sends it to me. No need to learn, as I plan to spend my golden years under his care. And his sisters wonder why he is my favorite!

      If more of my tech team lived close by I might be able to do that, but I've been forced to learn myself.

      I like that the screen is larger than my phone (and easier to read)
