I’d love to see an iPad Pro as a fully stand alone to replace a laptop.

  If you’re talking about MacOS being on an iPad, that’s not happening.
  
  Apple is a publicly traded company that answers to their shareholders. They’re not stupid to allow iPads running MacOS to cannibalize their Macbook sales.

  I think the Mini sells the least and therefore those get refreshed every 2-3 years or so.

My electric stove went out like a week ago. It’s gonna cost me a fortune to fix it or replace it. I guess we’re going to be eating out for a while. The other day though it gave me an idea. I was using my iPad and after a couple hours I could feel the back starting to get warm. Would it be possible for Apple to release an iPad that can get hot enough to heat up a traditional skillet to fry some eggs or make pancakes?

  @@PSy84 That’s the thing, it’s a couple years old and a new one is right around the corner. Plus, second-hand current-gen iPads aren’t that much cheaper than new, it makes more sense to just get the next-gen model.

a new pencil with haptic rumble, maybe an eraser end button you could click (or even move around like a joystick), and compatible with vision pro (like, so you could click. but also accurately laser point with it if needed) would THRILLING. Hopefully silencing every VR enthusiast complaining there is no controller for games (without introducing a new device).
Would also be nice if there was some connection to apple watch for haptic rumble while using vision pro. (though i keep hearing the argument that tapping your finger into your thumb is the haptic feedback).

I’ve tried and tried but the iPad just isn’t a good enough tool. It’s just too locked down. I had a 9th gen and I traded it in for a Air and the increased usefulness never materialized. Awkward and clumsy in it’s execution. 3 steps to accomplish what takes 1-2 steps on a MacBook.

Offer a base model with decent starting memory, landscape, camera replacement, no camera on the back, at a lower price. The current lineup is too confusing and too expensive. Add a keyboard and pencil, and you might as well buy a MacBook.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
