Hello <>,

If you read the previous email, I asked the question: Do you think the next 10 years will be as significant in technology as the last 10 years?

I have been thinking about that as we begin a new decade. Additionally I have been thinking about the iPad as it becomes 10 years old this month. We have talked before about the ramifications of the maturity of the iPhone. And there's been many debates as to whether we've reached peak smartphone.

MKBHD asks the question: Are we at Peak Smartphone? 

Therefore here are some pieces worth reading and listening to:

• Ben Thompson on is there a next big thing for the 20's?
• The End of the Beginning
• Exponent - The Water We Swim In
• Ben Thompson - The Tragic iPad
• MKBHD - Are We at Peak Smartphone?
• ATP.fm on the iPad - The Floor is Lava

And of course the piece I did on trends comes to mind:

What's the direction of Apple going into 2020, especially for those of us who develop apps for their platforms and want to know what will be the leading edge of innovations for their products?

What do you see is the future of the iPhone and iPad?

I'd love to hear back. Have a great week, Leo
