    Wes Hilliard from Apple Insider (iPad Pros - 0189)

    Wes Hilliard from Apple Insider (iPad Pros - 0189)

    Wes Hilliard is an Assistant Editor for Apple Insider and the Co-host of the Apple Insider Podcast. Wes began his journey of using the iPad as his primary computer in 2019 and spent two years exclusively relying on the iPad. He gave the 14” M1 MacBook Pro a try but found it to be overkill, opting to return to the iPad as his primary computer. In this episode, we delve into that journey, exploring the accessories he uses with the iPad and the apps he relies on for his work at Apple Insider. We also extensively discuss his experiments with game streaming using Camo on the iPad. Wes is also a fan of the iPad mini, and discuss what role that iPad has alongside the iPad Pro.

Real conversations with iPad users and app developers - Excellent!

Tim's interviews with iPad users and app creators are full of interesting details and helpful insights. This podcast is an exploration of the substantive ways that people are using iPads in their work and lives. It's one of the very few Apple oriented podcasts that focuses on real life scenarios rather than an endless stream of rumor "news" that so many others seem to do.

iPad Pro Companion

This podcast is the best accessory to the iPad Pro. You can learn from developers why they made the choices they made, learn about productivity tools and new ways to use the iPad Pro. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone starting to use their iPad as their main device or to the person who only uses an iPad. You will definitely end each episode learning something new and heading over to the App Store to integrate what you just heard.
