I must admit that I have a love-hate relation with my iPad pro.
It’s an impressive piece of technology, fast, reliable and clearly what I want to have with me when I’m mobile.
BUT: dear AppleInsider, you keep on praising Apple blindly so that I came to the point to wonder if you seriously work with the iPad pro.

Some examples:

• What is so impressive about the files-app of Ios11? It’s so incredibly basic, that it almost hurts. Why on earth cannot you at least create folders on your iPad locally? I don’t get that
• Why on earth cannot I still simply connect external drives? How can you handle large files (which is totally necessary for a lot of professional users) if I have no possibility to i.e. connect a fast an reliable external SSD? Try to work with a large amount of video files on the iPad pro ... good luck.
• Apple has fantastic pro-applications on Mac. I’m constantly using FinalCut and Logic. I cannot understand why Apple is not able to port at least FCPX to the iPad to show what incredible power this device has. Instead you need to stick around with a totally useless iMovie and Garage Band which won’t satisfy any professional user. I tried LumaFusion and I’m impressed how well you can edit high quality videos on the iPad. Yet this is a roadblock because there’s so far no way to export LumaFusion projects to FCPX. Shame on Apple for not showing the world that the iPad pro could be the perfect mobile video editing device.
• How can you praise the Apple Smart keyboard? I both own the Smart Keyboard and the keyboard from Logi. The Smart Keyboard is nice and thin, but typing on it feels absolutely clumsy - especially if you compare it to the Logi keyboard. Not even to mention that Apple could have perfectly added keys for media control, search etc ... but well
