This is the 150th edition of Installer, a weekly column by The Verge's David Pierce. Each week he lists the gadgets, apps and shows he is trying.
This week's picks include a new iPad mini, the touchscreen MacBook Pro and Amazon's Alexa photo frame. He also covers an app for reading books on your phone and a note-taking app that has come back.
Pierce wrote the column while on a family holiday in the Smoky Mountains, so this edition is shorter than usual.
π The Backstory
Installer started in 2021 as a guide to good tech. It mixes product news with things the writer actually uses.
The column is known for its personal tone. Readers send in their own tips, which often appear in later editions.
Apple's iPad mini has not had a major update in years. A thinner, lighter model is a big deal for people who want a small tablet.
π― Why It Matters
It is a shortcut to what is worth buying and trying this week. It also shows how touchscreens are spreading to more devices.
