Here is what I do not like.

I don’t like Apple’s restrictions that prevent network utilities from displaying MAC Addresses. I want Apps that allow me functionality to the outside world. The Automotive diagnostics tool market is a huge case in point. Autel, Launch, and many others release Diagnostic tools for Vehicles…..all on Android tablets. I think it would be a simple matter to fix this. That being said…. It seems as if the vendors do not want the software to be a download, but wish to sell the tablet as part of the package. THAT is something those vendors would need to correct. This ties into the fact that industrial automation is almost 100% Microsux.  Automation Direct, Rockwell, Siemens, etc all need to get off their rears and develop packages for Mac and Linux. Windows just keeps getting worse by the day. I can not fathom what Microsoft is thinking.

Back to THIS particular point….

Apple does things this way…partially for the money….but partly to avoid headaches. Even with that scrutiny…..things slip through.

I am hoping (as I type this on the 2020 iPad Pro) that Apple will enable iPad Pro to run MacOS and PC programs through a sandboxed translation layer. The iPad Pro has the power to burn. It will not cannibalize a thing. It will further drive MacOS into prominence and erode Microsoft share. 

I find it quite amazing…things I have been asking for since the first iPad have either come into fruition or are gaining momentum. I am sure Steve is rolling in his grave, but he was always a bit TOO insistent upon having his own way.

Even as it is, I use iPad 90%+ of the time. As I said, iPad Pro is more than hardware capable…..Apple has little valid excuse.

THIS is where I see the court case as being beneficial…..If apple wont give me what i want, someone else will. I would rather Apple do it….
