It’s not just iPadOS itself. Look for example at how limited the Mail app is, and how bad the Calendar app is. I suspect the problem is that most developers and managers at Apple don’t use iPads for actual productivity work, and therefore don’t themselves feel the incentive to fix all the little (and large) shortcomings they would otherwise encounter. Much of iOS/iPadOS updates feels like design-by-committee features being added, instead of research being done what the friction points are for actual users.
Things aren’t loosey-goosey, only retro-gaming emulators allowed.
You sure sound like a boomer telling the kids to quit complaining. 😏
Redhibitory: "Under contract law in some legal systems, a redhibitory defect is a hidden defect that prevents a product from performing the task for which it was purchased."
Good call. Was hyperbolic tho
I raise you the entire Adobe suite.
You could also add Microsoft Office, er, 360. The program I use most, Word, is fine for working on a single document on my iPad Pro (though the function set is a subset of the desktop version, so not always) but far less practicable when I start opening multiple documents (for work I often need three to five open at a time). I suppose this is not entirely Apple's fault; Microsoft could offer a tabbed interface (on their desktop versions too!). Still, it's one of the things that makes me regret buying the expensive tablet instead of a Macbook Air or Pro and sticking with pen and paper for sketching. At the time of purchase, I thought a laptop would be redundant given that I have a Mac Mini.
Do you have links to any of the reviews that you watched? I would love to watch them.
I don’t own a Mac. It’s quite annoying to have to go to icloud.com to create a rule for the mail app. They really need to beef up features on the core Apple apps.
It pains me to see people get their hopes up every year.
I wonder prefer not to have an outdated phone OS on a powerful tablet meant to do professional level work.
Speilberg’s golfcart at Universal was dressed up to look like a Mercedes. That was fun. And ironic at the time because he and his family and staff all drove identical Ford Explorers at the time."iPad Pro is like driving a Ferrari on a golf course"
OMG, nails it.
However, my brain went to - how fun would a Ferrari on a golf course be if you mounted a raised suspension and off road racing tyres
No one on a Mac multitasks in multiple windows. They single task in one window, switch to another window, then single task in that one, etc. Or, perhaps they’ll be tasking in one window while looking at, not interacting with, another.
