Microsoft's Edge browser comes to Apple's iPad in beta release
Microsoft is rolling out its Edge Web browser to the iPad in beta form, following up on an iPhone release in November.

The iPad app is largely identical to the iPhone version, but more useful simply for having a bigger view. It retains core features such as "Continue on PC," letting people push content to Windows 10, and the ability to switch between light and dark themes.
The app doesn't support iOS 11's split-screen multitasking functions however, and Microsoft has yet to enable promised tab sync between platforms.
Access to the iPad app requires signing up with Microsoft as an Edge tester, and downloading the beta through Apple's TestFlight.

Yes, WebKit for the rendering, but they bring their own features and functionality that extend the browser beyond just browsing. In this case, it's about getting people to stay in the Microsoft ecosystem when they switch between different devices.
The prices you see today are the prices you're gonna see in the future. I don't see Apple lowering their prices anytime soon and quite frankly, they don't need to. If you can't afford one then you can't afford one. Its as simple as that. I'd love a new iMac, but I can't afford one so I just keep using my 2012 Mac Pro tower until I can afford an iMac configured the way I want it.
Its like saying, I can't wait until BMW puts out a car I can afford...
People need to stop living in the past and bashing modern tech like mindless zombies and open their eyes a bit more!
Meanwhile, the Mac line has languished because its been limited to only high cost options... The sole exception is the MacMini which is so obsolete it doesn't count.
Sorry, this ain't 1984 anymore... That marketing strategy no longer cuts it.
Apple has two possible routes:
-- Develop a lower cost laptop (most likely an A series)
-- Or, upgrade the iPad line to enable it to perform traditional laptop tasks efficiently and effectively
Well, maybe there's a third route: BOTH
But, more of the same (yawn) is just not a viable option...
