Journalist Sigmund Judge has successfully turned an iPad Pro into a portable Apple TV device, which he calls Apple TV Go.

Here's What We Know

The project involved modifying the iPad Pro to be powered by USB-C, routing an HDMI signal from the Apple TV to the iPad using a USB video capture device, and other technical improvements.

The iPad Pro was adapted for USB-C power, allowing it to work as part of the Apple TV without the need for a standard power supply.

The HDMI signal from the Apple TV was routed to the iPad via a USB device. This enables the iPad to display content that would normally be played on a TV through Apple TV.

Judge also created a custom Magic Keyboard with a silver body and black keys that matches the design of Apple TV's Siri Remote.

He published a story on MacStories detailing all the intricate steps involved in creating this modified device for those who want to learn more about the project.
