So Apple hardware that’s super powerful but has bad software to support all that power?
“Where have I heard that one before?” he types on his iPad Pro…
Ouch. Don't get me started on iPad "Pro". There is nothing "Pro" about a device that is so heavily sandboxed and restricted to only installing things from a single, heavily curated app store. 😫
Such great hardware and UX, ruined because their app distribution monopoly is more profitable than moving devices.
I’m less bothered about the App Store than I am just allowing these devices with these very powerful chips to stretch their wings.
And it’s just simple things, too. iPadOS should allow you to have two different audio tracks going at once. It can handle that. But it’s too skewed to being a “bigger iPhone” than it is a “smaller MacBook.”
And I honestly love my iPad. Using it right this moment with a wireless KB and trackpad. And I’m happy I can extend the display relatively easily to a monitor now, too.
But it could definitely be so much more if the handcuffs were taken off.
