A couple of days ago, Apple announced Math Notes. Perhaps, their most innovative software feature in a while. It is brilliant. I mean, look at this video –
It just blew my mind at how brilliantly Apple executed this within the Calculator app on the iPadOS. Apparently, it’s also available within the Notes app on iOS and I can’t wait to play around with it.
Last year at the WWDC 23, I got a chance to talk to Phil Schiller. Apple didn’t announce anything AI related and I actually appreciated that. I asked Phil why that was the case and he said Apple doesn’t work on technology just for the sake of it or to hop on the hype train. They do it to create meaningful experiences. This year’s WWDC proves that. All the features around Apple Intelligence were great, while keeping everything private.
Apple just redefined the future of note taking tablets. All of this is only possible due to the on-device Machine Learning (ML) model.
Apple also announced the new handwriting correction feature and the copy paste feature that copies text and pastes it in your handwriting. These are not just fancy looking features, but also, quite powerful and helpful features.
Any new handwriting tablet that ships without these powerful features is doomed to fail. It’s clear that the future of handwriting tablets is features like these that assist you while you write, making it such a nice experience. I mean, if reMarkable 3 ships with these features, with the on-device ML and the e-ink display…oof! It’s going to be so good.
Personally, I’ve never found a use case for the iPad in my life. This won’t change that, but I do want these in the tablet I use.
This is clearly a guidance to these tablet manufacturing companies. I’m excited to see what reMarkable 3 has in store.
