I’ve been with Apple for over 12 years now - phones, pads, watches, Macs, services, iCloud, apps - the whole caboodle.
Never have I been disappointed in upgrades (though losing the MagSafe from the MacBook was a downer) - that is until now…
I have tried to like iPadOS15, and there are some things that look good, but I cannot make the homepage, the widgets and awful icon layout size work for me on my 12.9” Pro with Magic Keyboard, having been spoilt by iOS 14’s landscape view.
I cannot get my head around the mixed messaging by Apple, trying to pitch the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement and then they drop iPadOS 15 on us - it feels like a return to the original iPad in terms of the Home Screen. And those widgets just won’t stay where I put them!
Am I caught in some kind of nightmare? Will I wake up from it soon?
I had to search how to downgrade to iPadOS 14 - but success!
I am so glad I‘m back with a handful of left-sided widgets and a 6x5 set of icons.
I get ALL my apps on one home page - and a nice digital clock and date!
How long will I be able to stay in this wonderful comfort zone, I wonder?
Or if ‘forced’ to upgrade at some point, how much I will get for my ‘laptop-that-isn’t-a-laptop’ any more?
Really disappointed in Apple, sorry guys…
