danvm said: Again, people were trained with the iPod and iPhone, so they didn't need to be trained for the iPad. The thing is that the iPad start to have usability issues when people noticed it could be used for more than what Apple allo…

danvm said: Apple did think of adding those features to iPads. For example, they had studies that the show how vertical screens were terrible from an ergonomic POV. And also they criticize the "toaster/fridge" devices. What is interesting is…

danvm said: sagan_student said:Regardless, it would difficult to argue that Apple did not consider the implications of leaving certain things out. I for one am glad they did as they forced me to reconsider how I interact with a computer. …

danvm said: And I don't get why you think it's ridiculous to copy good ideas. Was Apple ridiculous when copied MS with the Pencil, keyboard + trackpads, FaceID and multitasking in tablet mode to iPads? I don’t think it’s like that. Having…

bsnjon said: Samsung has actually picked a smart strategy here. They limit reliance on partners like Goldman Sachs, and not being a credit card means there are more potential users in future. How does Apple Cash play into all of this? Woul…

KITA said: With iPadOS and Android, neither of these are an ideal portable workstation. Similar to the Surface Go 2 article (https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/comment/3238354), this article has also done very little to touch upon the …

cia said: Fully agree that this iPad exists just so developers can get hands-on with tech that is coming to iPhones this fall. I have no idea when a truly "new" iPad Pro will be coming out considering the 2018/2020 models are still powerhou…

dewme said: As others have said the real choice here is between iPadOS and macOS. Bottom line is that Apple has lost its way with the iPad. Differentiating the iPad products into regular and Pro versions is an admission of this loss of pur…

PShimi said: Which is exactly the point. Apple seem to be trying to shift people from buying a traditional laptop, to buying an iPad and accessories. I have no doubt the iPad is cheaper to manufacture, and extra accessories all add profit to Ap…
