PRO TIP NOW APP THISThere’s nothing like a
spot of music to get the
creative juices flowing,
but if it sounds rubbish
you’ll soon find things
grinding to a halt again.
This wireless speaker
is a real all-rounder.
There’s Wi-Fi on board
as well as Bluetooth,
so you can use Spotify
Connect at home,
and it’s loud enough
to fill even the biggest
workspace. It’s also
rugged and waterproof,
so it can handle play as
well as work.

you won’t get the most
out of your iPad Pro
unless you pair it with
an Apple Pencil. You can
change the function of
the newest one simply
by tapping on it, while
pixel-perfect precision
makes it far more
accurate than trying
to draw with your own
fleshy stylus (no, not
that one). But perhaps
the coolest thing about
the Pencil is the way
you charge it: just snap
it magnetically to the
edge of your Pro when
it needs a top-up.
£119 / apple.comThe upcoming iPadOS
will let you attach
USB-C memory
sticks to your iPad.
Considering you’re
currently stuck with
whatever capacity
you could afford when
you bought the Pro,
it’s a feature that could
come in very handy
indeed. SanDisk’s
Type-C sticks come
with 16, 32, 64 or
128GB of storage
space and can transfer
data at up to 150MB
per second.
from £8 / sandisk.co.ukAttach the Brydge Pro
keyboard to your iPad
and, at a glance, you
could easily mistake
it for a MacBook Pro.
It comes in silver or
space grey, with backlit
keys and just the right
amount of heft so it
doesn’t feel like a toy.
You can clip the iPad
in facing either way,
so the QWERTY can
double as a stand
when you’ve finished
all your work and
you’re catching up on
Gomorrah, or you can
fold it down totally flat.

CCAdobe is due to
release this nearly
full-fat version of
Photoshop for the
iPad Pro at some
point in 2019,
meaning you’ll be
able to use Apple’s
magical slab to
edit proper PSD
files that you
started working
on in the desktop
version, with all
changes synced
in the cloud.

UP THE WALL
Nobody gets
inspired by blank
walls, but how
much inspiration
can a single picture
hold? The 27in
Meural Digital
Art Frame (£700,
firebox.com) gives
you access to over
30,000 different
works of art, so
you can pick a
different one every
day for 82 years.
