iPad mini Why doesn't the new iPad mini have Final Cut Pro?

- Mini does not support a Magic keyboard, probably a good reason… a lot of people said Final Cut Pro on ipad with fingers is kind difficult…

It supports Bluetooth keyboards, however, which could be used just as well for that purpose.

The Pencil 1 can actually be used with the current M4 iPad Pro (the M1/M2 probably too, not sure), using a compatible Lightning to USB-C adapter and a Bluetooth app to establish the pairing. It’s not officially supported, but it works.

The problem with the Pencil 2 is that it has no connector to perform the same trick, and for charging.

Interesting. Eh - that one was "Good riddance" anyway. The magnets for storage just make sense with the new pencils.

According to the News article, the new mini is compatible with Final Cut Pro, with some limitations, as outlined in the app's App Store description:

Just use Magic Mouse and Magic keyboare For Mac

The problem will be that I also use an iPad Pro M1, so I have to hold on to my gen 2 pencil. It’s gonna be a mess having multiple pencils and not mixing them up. It’s gonna feel like wasted money in the drawer…

This is how I felt when I bought the M4 iPad Pro and still have my iPad mini 6…having to carry 2 separate pencils is a bit annoying. So as soon as the mini 7 was announced I ordered one, even if the upgrade wasn’t gigantic (though performance alone is already a good reason to upgrade from the aging 6th gen).
