  • A year with Apple's 10.5-inch iPad Pro: the ideal worker's tablet

    I've come reluctantly to the IPad Pro 10.5 because Android tablets of similar size and weight are really not made anymore. Android is on "convertible" laptops weighing closer to 2.5+ pounds. I've used Windows before Windows (green and black DOS screens). But I naively thought that Apple is known for its iPads and it'll be ok. Wrong.... As someone else mentioned, the tiny font and the lack of real contrast are amazingly unfriendly. Android and Microsoft manage to allow you to adjust ALL fonts to the size you need. The iPad provides a magnifying screen that doesn't always reflow and gets in the way when you try to read a web page. agree, the Files App is pathetic. I found files faster in every other OS I've ever used. Then, I paid for and downloaded a PDF reader from the store that said it reflowed. When I couldn't make that happen I went to an Apple store only to be told that they only support their own apps, not including all those written by others and sold through the Apple store. Google Playstore looks better and better. I'm mystified by the adoration that continues to be bestowed upon every product Apple makes. I've now owned a Macbook and an iPadPro and neither one has helped me to understand. Granted that their screens, camera on the phone and audio are reliably very good. But that's just not enough anymore.
