Sony RX100 Mark VII photography and editing on the new M1, 1TB, 16GB Apple iPad Pro

So WWDC21 was a total crap show this year.  It was extremely boring and nothing innovative came out of it in my opinion.  iPadOS 15 was a total failure as far as I’m concerned.  On a side, I’m doing more and more photography with the new Sony RX100 Mark VII pocket camera.  It’s my second time owning till little camera.  It’s got the 24-200MM lens on it and that’s one reason I got it.  I’m still editing on the 2021 M1 base iPad Pro 12.9”.  The only reason I have it is I’m waiting to trade it in for the M1X or M2 based MacBook Pro, whenever they come out.  Hoping that will happen later this summer.  Hope I can pick one up at one of the Apple stores here in Ottawa before I permanently leave for Calgary in the fall.

In the meantime, I’m hoping to get another short contract here with one of the federal departments.  It will be my last one for sure.

iPad OS 14 and iPad OS 15 are still gimped by Apple

So I bought the 2021 iPad Pro with the M1 chip, 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM hoping, dreaming that Apple would stop gimping the operating system.  After watching WWDC 2021, I am totally disappointed.  Not with Apple.  But with myself.  I was hoping that Apple would bring Pro level apps to the iPad Pro.  I was hoping that Apple would actually let us use the whole 16GB of RAM in the 2021 iPad Pro.  I am an idiot thinking that Apple would actually unleash the power of the M1 chip that they put in the iPad Pro.  I was so wrong.  There were no hardware announcements at WWDC 2020 at all this year.  Yes, WWDC is a developer conference but…

All those leakers who were adamant that there would be hardware releases have lots of eggs on their faces today.  I was at least hoping for Final Cut Pro to come out for the iPad Pro.  Didn’t really need touch for Final Cut Pro.  I am now extremely disappointed.  I will continue using LumaFusion and Affinity Photo on the iPad Pro regardless.  Just really disappointed Apple.
