RE: Is there a protective case for the iPad Pro 13?

Why would you say the iPad Pro is better when it comes to pictures than the iPhone 13 Pro especially with something like Be My Eyes? Can you give concrete examples? For Be My AI purposes that should make absolutely no difference. I am surprised you find it even easy or convenient to take picture

RE: Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between the left and right side of the screen on an iPad 13 Pro with a magic keyboard?

And that is why at least for blind people having to rely on Voiceover, an iPhone or iPad will simply not even come close to the efficiency and productivity you get when using a PC. This is true for quickly dealing with large amounts of email especially if it includes sending new messages, replyi
