: well… it looks like I’ve finally switched from to . I knew it was coming. am I happy with this change? partly, yes. but I already miss Spotify’s music recommendations. with Apple Music I feel like I stepped back five years with my playlists. maybe it’s just a matter of changing my habits and the way I use the app. I know I can accomplish the same things I had on Spotify – it just needs time.

now, the next step is to change my podcast player from Spotify to… well, I’m thinking about Apple Podcasts or Pocket Casts.

it looks like I’m slowly staying loyal to just two companies – Apple and Automattic (the company behind WordPress). I just wish Automattic would integrate all their apps more. I’d love to use Day One as my main diary editor and sync it directly to my WordPress blog. the same with podcasts in Pocket Casts. and Simplenote! I’d totally use it – but is it still in development? will they abandon it? it feels so disconnected from other Automattic tools.

honestly, I could easily replace my Apple-centric ecosystem with Automattic’s one – with my WordPress blog at the heart of it. actually, that’s where I’m heading already. it would just be so much easier if their tools talked to each other a bit more.

: dear , listen up, very carefully: i don’t want my to fold (or unfold). i don’t want it to transform into an – that’s a bad direction. should stay thin, pockety, simple. it’s supposed to disappear in your hand, not unfold into something clumsy.

but #ipad… oh, that’s a different story. i want my 11″ to grow. to open up. imagine this: you use the small one on the , on the go, , , . then you sit down in a place, and it unfolds – smoothly, beautifully – into a big one. 14, maybe 15 inches. a full workspace. a writing desk. a creative field.

should stay what it is: the quick, smart tool in motion.

should become what it wants to be: a that expands with your space.

maybe should stop trying to make the bigger

and start making the expand.

i already live somewhere between these two worlds. i have three ipads, and i love every one of them. the mini – not the latest version – is my pocket . perfect for evenings, checking feeds, on , sometimes even short posts.

the eleven-inch pro (with m2) is my travel – i’m actually this post on it right now. it’s also my companion, my everything-device when i’m away. if i had to choose just one, this would probably be the one. it’s perfect.

and then there’s the air – the 13-inch one. oh my god, i love this device. i love working with it in cafes, love on it at , listening to in the while i make – even though its speakers are worse than the pro’s.

each has its own place in my . i love them all.

but the minimalistic me says it’s too much.

and i know i’ll have to let one go someday. i just don’t know which one. it’s going to be hard.

so please, – make that foldable next year.

don’t make me choose.
