I’m not sure it would be great.
I think your perception of iPadOS as crippled is coloring your view here. You noted that you had no experience with Procreate or Shapr3D; in my opinion, the existence and power of those two apps contradicts your belief that the OS is too basic. So that’s a developer thing.
What makes you think that it couldn’t be a marketing decision now, given the existence of the Surface line?
Perhaps they’re protecting their own cash cows - it takes bravery or desperation to make a leap into the unknown. Lol, ‘pretty pictures.’ Nice superiority complex. I’ll note there’s a large number of artists who use iPads professionally, simply because they’re so powerful; and iPads are used in business in many other fields. Your perception of the tablet as a media consumption device only is purely in your head and nowhere else. That said, I agree, Apple likely won’t fully overhaul iPadOS, because there’s no point in doing so to please a handful of users who want one device to do everything, when they’ll make more money by having separate hardware lines. You’ll have to convince them they’ll make more money the other way, and that’s a massive challenge.
I have used ProCreate. It runs absolutely fine on my prehistoric mk1 iPad Air, and demands the computing power of a 1980's Casio calculator, compared to what the M1 is capable of.
I didn't say that, nor meant to infer that, it couldn't.
What motive do you think I have, to have a superiority complex? Maybe re-read what I typed: I offered the thesis as a possible reason why developers of pro-grade productivity apps don't release iPad equivalents for their Mac and Windows apps, which creates a catch-22 whereby pro users don't migrate from a Mac/PC because the software isn't there, and so the circle goes round. I didn't say it was my opinion. Someone else also mentioned the issue regarding it being a very closed platform where apps can only be bought and installed via the App Store; I hadn't considered that, but that's very valid too.
Presumably also in the heads of everyone in this thread who complain about having to reach for the nearest PC or Mac as soon as they need to do something that isn't consuming media or 'drawing pretty pictures'.
You might want to just to untether if you’re on 14.5.1 - never have to worry about signing again!Oh I contemplated that as well. I'm still on 14.5.1 so it's possible but I didn't find any tweaks that would make me jailbreak the iPad. I don't like theming stuff so I am mostly interested in the utility tweaks. I'm open to suggestions
I do have a side-loading service, idk if it's against rules to name them so I will not. That basically covers somewhat the need for the jailbreak
I mostly used a sideloaded tweaked youtube app and a torrent client. That torrent client is a hit and miss as well.
After that dive into the sideloading world, I searched if i could load any other operating system on it, virtualisation I mean. There does exist an app for it but it's a pain to use. I saw that snazzylabs video on it, he goes quite deep on it.
On reading about this stuff I came to know that iPad doesn't even let the apps full utilise the 8gb of ram which is quite a shame. Maybe it could have been fixed on the 15? Idk. So knowing this, 16gb ram model of the iPad is quite "literally" useless if one is just buying the upper model for the ram. Sorry I went on a rant lol
I think he may have meant that it would replace the iPad. That was my take. You are 100% right. Both would be INSANE.
If you’ve used Procreate, then you should be aware more powerful models both offer a smoother experience and more layers. That you aren’t suggests you either haven’t used it, or at most you doodle, which is probably why you think the iPad is only for consumption.
Regardless, there are more possibilities than you admit exist.
I don’t know. Whether you intend to or not, the language you choose comes off that way. You also have a narrow view of what ‘pro’ users do, which essentially boils down to: ‘whatever I think is pro,’ never mind everything people use it for that doesn’t fit what you envision.
Hahaha, triggered. What a joke. Sentences like that, by the way, are exemplary of you having a superiority complex. I fully read all of your posts, and I know what you’re hoping for. I just disagree that the iPad is crippled because it doesn’t do precisely what you want.
I do plenty with my iPad that isn’t consuming media or drawing pretty pictures. That you fail to imagine use cases aside from that is your own fault. I know of engineering firms that use iPads in their manufacturing shops. I know doctors who use iPads for medical work. I know pilots who use them for aviation. I know teachers who use them for school. I know professional musicians who incorporate iPads into their work. I could go on, but I think that makes my point.
You're completely missing my point.
I know doctors who use a pen and a notepad. Doesn't make the technology advanced. Just means it suits their needs.
You’re shifting the goalposts. As Procreate does make use of the M1 chip, you’re also incorrect in claiming none of the existing apps can make use of it.
Your superiority complex isn’t about your purposes, it’s about your attitude towards others and how you communicate. I don’t care that you’re not going to buy a new iPad. If you never buy another one, so what? What does it matter to anyone but you?
You’re shifting the goalposts. Technology doesn’t need to be advanced to be useful or professional. I think I’ll pass on replying to you again here; we evidently aren’t going to agree, and you’re inconsistent about what you’re debating.
all of that and its great for keeping on the kitchen counter, reading Comics, making notes, digital planning, not to mention drawing/painting with the pencil. I love my m1 pro 11. A laptop cannot compete in use cases where the iPad shines.
Seems like you’re hung up on the M1 chip. Just because it’s in there doesn’t mean it MUST run pro apps. It also runs consumer apps really, really fast. I see a big improvement in video and photo editing speed compared to my previous iPad (and even my older laptop) and all of that in a much more convenient form factor. I have a feeling all the griping in this thread is by people who saw the M1 chip and assumed it’s the equivalent of an M1 based laptop, which it’s clearly not.Maybe we just have a language barrier (obviously I've no idea where you come from or what your native language is). It seems pretty clear to me the point I'm making, and presumably also to the people who have reacted to my posts, and to others who are making a similar argument. The fact that some professionals use it for their work doesn't inherently mean it runs pro-grade apps. In almost all instances except drawing (edit: and notetaking as someone else said), iPad apps are inferior to their Mac/PC counterparts. And that's the frustrating part.
But it's ok. Enjoy your iPad.
Exactly this 👆
Yeah I'd just like to see more pro-grade apps, and see it have a better OS. That functionality seems to be held back intentionally by Apple, as others have said. The M1 is such a hugely powerful processor, but by and large the options to run apps that mimmick the power of their Pc/Mac equivalents are few and far between.
my opinion - expecting the iPad to run “pro” apps that “mimic” pc apps just just because it has an M1 processor is where I feel people are going wrong. It’s a recipe for frustration, if ever there was one. The iPad isn’t built to mimic the mac, it’s built to be an iPad and Apple has shoved in the fastest processor they could for good measure.Yeah I'd just like to see more pro-grade apps, and see it have a better OS.

Couple of pages back I used the analogy that Apple have stuck a sportscar's engine into a car that they've intentionally limited to 20mph. I still feel that way.
I know that at the end of the day this is all just my opinion, and any other opinions are just as valid. I've certainly at no point intended to come across as 'superior'. But seeing that only one person with a low feedback feels I came across as holier than thou, I'll make the assumption that hopefully most people haven't interpreted my posts that way.
