Excited to see that Apple released a new iPad Pro today, and announced a keyboard with trackpad, coming in May. I’m still using a 2015 model, and have been waiting for years for an update, so that was an insta-buy for me. I’m keen to get the keyboard, too.

As many people have pointed out, and I just want to note on my blog, New Zealand will be instituting very strict restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including requiring 14 days of self-isolation for all arrivals. So we are very glad that we made the decision to postpone our trip.
