Every time I try to go iPad only again I'm met with one significant challenge: image creation. I need to be able to quickly put together unique images for work.
That means excellent selection tools, templates, color swapping, background removal, and other similar tools. It seems Affinity Designer should be the option, but it doesn't work with Stage Manager and external displays in iPadOS 17. Hope this gets fixed soon.
Otherwise I think I'm pretty much free and clear to make the jump to iPad only again. I think I'll always need some kind of Mac in my home to test features and get screenshots for work, but it can now be demoted to a secondary device.
Might be time to sell the 14-inch MacBook Pro in favor of a cheaper Mac mini or MacBook Air. But I'm not sure yet.
Redesigned bigger iPad Pros with OLED and a new keyboard in 2024 sounds promising. I'd love for iPadOS and the app ecosystem to be ready for me to go all in on iPad by that point. Seems likely.
