9to5Mac says the iPad Pro doesn’t need a major revamp, but better software

Filipe Esposito at 9 to 5 Mac wrote this article and I couldn't agree more. There is some pro-ish software, with the recently released DaVinci Resolve being the most powerful software on the iPad. Apple needs to make the software more powerful, because the hardware is already as powerful as it needs to be.

Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve for Apple Silicon iPad

It is available in the app store, and has a cut and color page. It is free to use, but certain plugins require the Studio Version which costs $99.00.

Larry Jordan has reported some huge test results differences between AJA Test Lite and Blackmagic Disk Speed Test

Larry is reporting huge speed measurement differences on a Blackmagic Thunderblade, with Aja showing 44% less write speed and almost 22 % slower read speeds. I decided to try it on my Thunderbay using softraid, and AJA also reads slower, though not as much. That's 6.7% slower on the write speed and 13.2% slower on read. I am betting AJA is more accurate, but would certainly like to know for sure. I sure hope AJA isn't boosting speed on it's products, but they are engineers so I doubt it.
