As a nearly 70-year-old grandmother, I am frequently unable to get my pictures because a hulking great big man with big hands has been in the way with his iPhone camera. You said it Mike, it is all about consideration. Usually I just ask the person to  please  move over so that I can get my picture. This really doesn’t have to be a big thing, if we just use our mouths and ask in courtesy if the person can help you get a good shot.  You said it Mike, it is all about consideration. But generalizing people who use iPads for photography when clearly they have paid for these good cameras  too is perhaps a little bit strong.   Perhaps losing that “don’t be that person“ expression and instead saying “be considerate” would sound a lot less 2016 and a lot more inclusive. 

 Don’t be that person who parrots the 2016 meme of not using your iPad for iPad photography. We have moved on since then as have the cameras. Now we are aware that not everybody’s eyesight is the same and that the use of the larger view finder benefits and aids many with impaired vision or who simply prefer a larger view finder to take great photos. We are no more in the way then those people with those huge phones.  Please move into 2018 and stop trotting out that old offensive anti-iPad photography myth. Many of us who aren’t 20/20 would thank you for it.

And since Apple never did anything with the smart connector other than allow a few keyboards to connect to it, it doesn’t even count as a pro benefit. I think this 2018 iPad with pencil support  will definitely give the pros a run for their money.
