Matt Birchler sold his MacBook Pro a couple of months after the 3rd generation iPad Pro was released and runs both his podcast and blog (BirchTree.me) from the iPad. We dive into many topics including his workflows for getting his work done, the role of the iPad at his day job, creating Ulysses style sheets and much more. Stay tuned after the podcast for about 10 minutes of cut conversation. In this post-show, we cover iPhone OS 1, future watchOS upgrades, and Matt’s computing history.
