Repeat after me, even more are not like you which is why they require more than email and office docs. 

Do you have any facts to back up that bold statement?

There are many industries and jobs that don't require heavy duty coding and graphic programs: Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Police, Drivers, Accountants, ect.

Sure there are plenty of jobs that don't require heavy duty coding, however I fundamentally have a problem with Apple calling devices "Pro" models without any real changes to the software. While some may disagree iOS hasn't really changed much over the last few years, it still lacks even a decent or basic file system. Whats the point of having an iPad with specs as good as a Macbook yet can't take advantage of the same software? I have a 12.9 iPad Pro and I use it often but rarely for anything related to work. 

Even those that use Photoshop won't use an iPad Pro over a Mac because the software is nothing more than a dumbed down version. The days of Apple being able to get away with simply changing the size of something or making it thinner are over or haven't you noticed AAPL this week?

If Apple is going to tag something as a "Pro" model then IMHO it needs to be running OS X not iOS.

I know people are going to say "Apple will never run OS X on an iPad. Yeah Apple was also never going too make a bigger iPhone, the iPad was never going to be bigger than 9.7 in or smaller for that matter. There is nothing stopping Apple from running OS X on an iPad Pro. At least then people will truly have a laptop alternative. 

As someone that is an engineer I'm always looking for parity. If the hardware is getting faster and the hardware specs are getting better, if the software isn't maturing at the same rate then it's a waste.

Also you kind of proved my point. The industries you mentioned, there aren't any of them that have mass adoption of the iPad over traditional laptops. Any Police car I have seen always has a laptop in it, daughter is a Nurse and Wife has been in education for over 15 years, not an iPad to be found.

It does, that's why those numbers are tiny.

what nonsense. for my side business all of my time is spent in email or some office docs. why isn't doing that on my iPad real work? oh yeah, it completely is and your statement is troll scat, as usual. 

repeat after me: not everybody is you. not everybody needs to do whatever it is you need to do.

Repeat after me, even more are not like you which is why they require more than email and office docs. It's also why iPad sales are consistently down. iPad beating the Surface is like the Apple Watch beating wearables, both markets are weak so it like beating a person with one leg in a race, not that dramatic.

Wait for him to come back saying that I sold for $99 again and bought again at $96.

LOL. Followed by the Apple should go private rant.

short term fool.

lets see where the stock is in 5 years.

Not a fool, I actually make money when I invest and I never invest based on my blinding love of a company. The reality you shouldn't even be posting on this forum given your blinding lack of insight when it comes to investing. You were suppose to be at 150+ four months ago. Keep up the good work. Now we can all wait for your rant about Apple going private, not that any of us actually believe you bought 300 shares today.

May drop even more but does not matter.

I'm holding these suckers for 10+ years.
