This is terrifying! Bad enough parents neglect their kids staring at their phone all day. This is next level bad. Next generation is going to be even more screwed up.

You had my heart racing with the dual-sim assertion. I immediately looked to order it because a dual-SIM iPhone has been my dream! But alas, it is a single physical SIM with eSIM required for dual-SIM functionality. Oh well... Still the best iPhone that I would pick over 11 any time.

Lol. His so-called “autopilot” software kills people. Glass house much?

You are misinformed by the media. Tesla Autopilot saves far more people every day than it "kills people." The media puts a spin on it to sell news.

While MacBook would certainly be better, iPad can be a very valuable tool. My daughter uses one at her school and it has proven to be very useful for many subjects and tasks. Her teachers have the students use iPads for school work a lot! She has a personal MacBook Air she uses for Python development and video editing but for general school tasks her school issued iPad mini is very useful. She actually prefers to type on it using a BT keyboard. It is also substantially lighter, which is very important, since she is very small for her age and her school bag is already extremely heavy.
