Take a Byte Episode 17: Apple's innovation problems
by Samuel Buchmann
New OLED display, new chip, slim housing: the iPad Pro takes a leap forward. We wonder what the benefits are.
Apple has presented new tablets. The iPad Pro perfects the old concept with a revolutionary tandem OLED display and the new M4 chip. We discuss the most exciting hardware innovations. But we also ask ourselves: does it really make a difference?
Because the iPad's software hasn't changed much so far. At first glance, the performance seems to be pearls before swine. At second glance, Michelle does find a few advantages - and has high hopes for more functions with the next OS update in a month's time.

Snapping and climbing. This aptly describes Samuel. His heart beats for photography, whether analogue or with an overpriced Hasselblad, at the price of which others buy a car. The cameras are used when travelling or on rock faces at dizzying heights. Naturally, he edits the images on a Mac. Because whether it's his headphones, smartphone or laptop, Samuel is deeply rooted in the garden of the nibbled apple.
While others break out in a sweat just drawing a stick figure, Michelle uses every tablet test as a template for digital artwork. Somewhat more tangible are those from the 3D printer, which regularly model her smartphone reviews. The gadget enthusiasm that almost every new member of the editorial team succumbs to can be seen on their desk, which is flanked by a home-made RGB keyboard and matching RGB mouse. She only feels even more emotion, which even gets under her skin in the form of tattoos, for Pokémon. <p
My fingerprint often changes so drastically that my MacBook doesn't recognise it anymore. The reason? If I'm not clinging to a monitor or camera, I'm probably clinging to a rockface by the tips of my fingers.
