So I bought an iPad, of course.

Of course you did.

What'd you buy? Take a guess. The big expensive one with the nanotexture on it with too much SSD space that you're ever going to use? That's right. And I already returned it. Oh, no. Seriously? Why? So when I had said in the last couple episodes, I had said that I'd try one in the store, which is true.

And I, like, as I was wondering, like, does the pencil texture feel better on it?

And the answer is yes.

But it does not feel $700 better on it.

Basically, the, uh, the app that I was discussing in the member special, um, one of the feasibility tests I wanted to do required the OLED screen.

So I was like, all right, let me do kind of Black Friday deal this year and get myself one of the new iPads, except there was no deal on that version, of course.

I was going to say, there's not a lot of Black Friday deals on the one that nobody should buy.

No, there are not. But anyway, Friday deals on the one that nobody should buy. No, there are not.

But anyway, I realized that, like, you know,

once I had it, like, in my office for testing against my, you know, old iPad that has the, um, the rock paper pencil screen protector on it,

I realized that even though the nanote texture is better for the pen input, it is not better than the

rock paper pencil. It's a continuum that you're optimizing for with that. The nanotexture,

the screen looked better for images on the screen, for video, for content. The screen looked

better, less fuzzy, less distorted than

any of the screen projectors. It also reflected even less light than anything. Like,

you would think those would go hand in hand, but they don't necessarily. So nanotexture was

significantly better, in my opinion, for everything, except pencil use. Maybe you should wait until you record the next episode of ATP before you return products,

because here we have a just-in-time toot from Brian who suggests that you check out pen tips

at pen.

For different tips for the Apple Pencil, I think.
