I live off grid and don’t want to get starlink. The wasted power in these sucks. I’d get a MacBook but cellular is a 100% requirement for me.
The only hope for the iPad Pro is if it is powerful enough to take over the MacBook Air. But then again, with 120hz that would end up competing with the MacBook Pro, so that may never come to fruition. The iPad pros are pretty much rtx 3090s but just for browsing the internet
And there is still no native calculator available in 2022…
8 minutes and already 100k likes. Damn.
If the iPad had Finder (or some sort of file explorer) and apps running in windows, it would kill the MacBook. I think that’s why Apple limits iPadOS on purpose
The iPad Pro is overkill for a tablet
All I care about is Apple to either bring back sideloading or virtualization/Rosetta functionality. I don’t care if they gimp performance or not, basic functionality would be appreciated. The only thing that makes me less remorse about it is that iSH still exists.
They really need to make pop up windows like android has. Bizarre you can only get a long skinny window for multitasking. Android does that better. Sadly.
whould it be good to play gmes like genshin impact on the ipad pro
Yes. Same with iPhone. It’s sitting at that exact place. Meaning it’ll never get split screen apps use or floating apps like the ability to have a calculator or a notes app on top of something else. Only floating videos.
Ipad has the same problem as Iphone. Their OS is locked 🔒 and will remain locked 🔒.
The devices are deliberately handicapped to force you to “buy the whole lineup” or “full ecosystem”. An Ipad will never do what a Mac can because than you dont buy the whole ecosystem…it just shrunk by a device and Apple’s profits shrunk.
For some reason the limitations bother me more on the iPhone than on the Ipad since I need my phone to do more. I’ve been okay using an Ipad for the odd Facetime call, email and as a media consumption device… but now Im questioning that.
Currently I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and every other device is Apple. However, I am considering ditching the Ipad and only using Mac.
It seems as though Samsung tablets are now better than Ipads simply because they are free devices that you fully own and can do anything you want with.
Older Samsungs lacked the power to really be usable but current gen are great tablets but can function as Chrome OS devices as well so you have full computer level functionality when you need it and full tablet functionality when you need it… something the Ipad can’t offer.
The only drawbacks with Samsung tablets are they dont seem to be made to be used in portrait mode… primarily landscape. I’m a musician and like to use a tablet for lyrics. Also, there are a few pesky apps not available on Android yet. Lumafusion going to Android is cool…but there are others I need. The growth of ChromeOS also causes Dex Mode in Samsung devices to get better. Hopefully soon it will have evolved to the point that it is as powerful as Mac OS or Windows.
I don’t know what to do…maybe time to go to Best Buy and compare the devices in store.
I think the idea is simple. If iPad as a personal PC can wreck all category of markets (windows / Linux) then Apple go for making iPad a PC. They have no reason to dumb Mac otherwise. They evolve their products at the cost of another often to conquer markets across the spectrum. Like how iPhone killed iPod but iPhone also wrecked across the market giving them so much new money.
I think it’s disappointing that Apple needs to avoid cannibalizing their own products. It suggests to me that Apple is too stupid to innovate fully while making even more money. They need to limit the functionality of their own products so that each one is still worth something to their users. And while the original iPad seemed to be Apple’s idea of a netbook, the modern iPads have gone so far beyond that that there’s little difference in capability between their laptops and tablets, except where they make it.
Apple has a lot going for it, but being the cutting-edge master of technology is definitely not part of the equation. Their latest innovation is really a vast improvement over their ARM chips for phones and tablets. A previous one was using USB‑C exclusively on their laptops starting with the 12-inch MacBook. And let’s all remember the removal of the headphone jack and phone chargers! I assume there’s a ton of software ideas they’ve implemented, but none of them have been so far ahead of the competition that they can be claimed as innovations. Apple AirTags came out after Tile.
I just don’t think Apple is an exciting company. I was sold on them after my recent frustrations with Chromebooks and Chrome OS. There’s no way I want a Windows laptop and I don’t want to be bothered getting one only to install Linux on it. I’d buy a MacBook because everything is so polished. But as far as I can tell, everything about Apple that could be called “new” isn’t any more exciting than the latest indie game, mouse, TV, or law concerning our privacy rights. Apple just has a nicer package and presentation but their stuff is just a somewhat higher-quality version of stuff we’ve already seen.
Apple is just a highly successful business that depends heavily on keeping up appearances and being just competitive enough that those already invested in Apple remain convinced that Apple’s still the best. They are not the stupendous company some of us wish they were and they will never do anything so much better than the competition that it changes everything. Even their Apple silicon is limited to their own products and most everyone else is satisfied with the ARM processors in their phones already.
I need to stop checking videos like this hoping it’s something worth my attention. Apple, frankly, is just a very polished utility that refuses to outdo itself against its own financial self-interests, especially if it exposes just how utterly limited they are in their vision and willingness to be more than they already are and have been since Steve Jobs died.
is that the 11 or 12.9 inch table you are showing?
Hello There, a great review, thank you for sharing this. Kind regards Peter 🙂
Talking about apps missing on the iPad , not just the weather and the calculator app also the watch app is missing. Is it just me noticing it. Am trying to pair my watch it’s not trying to pair. Hope it comes in iPad OS 16 update.

ipad pro is overkill for average people tbh. but it is a Pro device. the phone pros don’t rlly have that upper end vibe past physical stuff imo, it makes more sense for more pro level stuff to be on the bigger devices
You don’t sound enthusiastic at all… The joy was evidently stolen From you
It’s crazy watching this with ipados17 announced. crazy how many of the issues you outlined are fixed now and crazy it took this long.
