    What a joke. This is turning that mime into reality. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, back when they first released the iPad, there was a running joke that Apple will "innovate" by introducing larger and larger-sized iPads with no other new features. Well, sounds like it's becoming true. Welcome to the Cook era folks.


    This. Apple has become scared to bring anything new to market
    Having read these boards for a few years now, it’s hilarious to see the same myopic commentary cycle around over and over again. 

    Apple brings many new things to market. First they’re chided as pointless or useless. Then after a year or two when those same devices have become ubiquitous, the peanut gallery bellyaches about the incremental updates that aren’t earth-shattering brand new products. Then, eventually, the complaints start rolling in that older versions of devices are slow and are the victims of conspiracies of planned obsolescence. Lather, rinse, repeat. 

    On June 29, it will be all of 14 years ago when the original iPhone was released. Fourteen years. Prior to that, there was no iPhone, MacBook Air, iPad, Apple Watch, AppleTV, Apple Pencil, Apple App Store, HomePod, AirPod, M1 Apple Silicon, Airtag, etc. Kids in high school now were all born before any of these things existed. 

    So sure, you keep believing Apple is scared to bring anything new to market. 
    I find nothing in electronics ‘’scared!’’  What is available resulted from fine engineering, marketing and of course corporate muscle to produce and peddle the product. As to IPads, I did my best searching competing products offering performance benefits equal to my new 11’’ IPad Pro.  The ONLY reason I did not purchase a sub-performing but SMS capable  machine was I found a decent, no make the very good SMS service in T-Moble’s Digits. Otherwise I would not have stayed with Apple. And no, I don’t own their IPhone that would permit SMS messaging. Mine is an old Samsung S8 Active. And yes, I had tried other SMS services with my older IPad Pro and all substandard.
