Magic Keyboard - iPad Pencil Pro - Wallet - Siri Issues

This year I’ve invested in more Apple products. Specifically the new 2024 iPad (my last iPad was the 2012 version so this is a big upgrade for me). I also purchased the new iPad Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard. All three of these items not cheap in any fashion. To my dismay and surprise, I find out the Magic Keyboard does not allow for portrait at all. This is a huge issue. Not only do I need to use and view programs in portrait mode, I need to utilize the keyboard as well. Also, a pencil holder is missing on the keyboard. I get that it’s magnetic, but when placing the iPad and keyboard in a bag for travel, the pencil gets knocked off too easily. Did no one at Apple think these things through when designing this? A simple rotating design with a pencil slot on the case. The second big disappointment is the iPad Pencil Pro. It’s my first Apple Pencil. I love it! Except when I tried using it with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Uhh.. okay, after some online searching I learn that no Apple Pencil has ever worked with the iPhone and there are no plans to do this. Again, why? I can go online and purchase cheap Chinese pencils to work with my iPhone, but I do not want that. I want ALL my Apple products to seamlessly work together. This shouldn’t even be a question from any Apple consumer. Next, the Wallet app on the iPad. Again, online research tells me Apple took that away in a 14 iOS update. WHY? Put it back please. I have Wallet on my iWatch, iPhone, and NEED it on the iPad. I’m patiently waiting for fall to upgrade iPhones and iWatch. I’m really hoping some good changes come about. Siri could also use a kick in the pants. She really needs to be more intuitive and user friendly. Example, Driving down the road, and I say, “Hey Siri, call ABC Company” and Siri replies, “You need to unlock your iPhone first”. That is no help and totally not hands free

Thank you for listening.
