I give the folks at Blackmagic a lot of credit. Not only did they release DaVinci Resolve for iPad, they’ve continued to meaningfully update it alongside the desktop version.
Version 21 adds a new Photo Page with native RAW support and 9 new AI tools, among many other new features.
CapCut Pad is finally available in the US for iPad and Android tablets. Desktop-level editing, 4K 60fps, and free to download, though some features require a CapCut Pro subscription.

With about two weeks to WWDC, I’ve got my iPadOS 27 wish list ready. Not expecting any huge changes this year, but hoping for some improvements to smooth out some of the Pro workflows.

Apple and Intel just supposedly reached a chip deal, meaning the next iPad Pro could, in a way, have Intel Inside. 🤣
Logitech just announced two new iPad keyboard cases for education: the Rugged Combo 4c and Rugged Combo 4c Touch.

Still a little bummed about Blender on iPad being delayed?
Welp, Maxon has just announced its Cinema 4D software is coming to iPadOS.
Today’s Final Cut Pro for iPad update extends background task support to project exports (different from video exports).
This is useful for those of us that archive our projects to external storage once we’re done with a video.
My M4 iPad Air review is live on Slatepad.org!
Another year, another chip bump. No ProMotion. No OLED. No Face ID. Apple needs to stop coasting and make this thing great.
