Our Tech Deadlines

• Federico
  • Absent significant improvements in iPadOS 19, Federico will add a Mac to his setup.
  • Unless ChatGPT starts integrating more tightly with apps, Federico will cancel his subscription.
  • Absent new exclusives, Federico will sell his PS5.
• John
  • Barring substantial iPadOS improvements, John plans to experiment with Android tablets.
  • If Apple’s cellular modems extend the battery life of the iPhone 17 Pro phones, John may drop out of Plus Club.
  • If Apple supports third-party plugins for Final Cut Pro for iPad, John will consider moving more of his video editing to the iPad.
