The fact that Apple made an iPad more powerful than most PCs but still can't design a simple calculator app for it yet is insanely mind boggling

[@milkseacher1]

I’m pretty sure there IS a reason why there isn’t a built in calculator on the iPad

This is such an honest review. People need to see how troublesome it is with the operating system when it comes to daily tasks, regardless of how powerful the new iPad is.

[@andyH_England]

It is a tablet UI and people are rigid in their perception because most have been brought up in a desktop OS world. It is very similar to Android tablets, both designed for touch and based on apps. They are for me, far more useful than laptops but I can understand they are not for everyone, and if it is not for you then that does not make it bad, it just means…it is not for you!

[@nikoraasu6929]

@@andyH_England this is a UX problem, not a UI problem.

[@andyH_England]

@@nikoraasu6929 Well sorry to say but iPadOS was designed to be a tablet touch experience so we can take it as given that it will not be the same UX experience as a desktop OS. It is also a modern OS not designed in the 1970s so is using sandboxed apps meaning a file manager cannot be the same as Windows. I am sure if Windows was invented in 2024 it would also use this UX and if we had not had anything come before then people would accept it and get used to it.

[@CallMeVidd]

It’s so frustrating cause honestly the iPad is my favorite form factor of any device I’ve used and it’s this close to being great but it just falls short in every aspect

[@andyH_England]

@@CallMeVidd you could say the same thing for clamshell laptops that they don't have pen support, 5G, are not as portable and practical outdoors. But funny enough no one mentions that when they make clamshell laptop reviews. So I get the impression many creators are simply flexing on the iPad because they can appeal to the lowest denominator. Most people understand the limitations and work with them rather than whining about them. In time it will get better but the iPad Pro has only existed for a few years compared to 40 plus for Windows. So expectations probably need to be realigned along a common sense understanding of the timeline.

I've lived and seen this cycle many times. You switch over to the iPad Pro as main device and it feels amazing, and freeing. It's a revelation. Slowly you start running into issues, but you find workarounds or put up with them. There is software and games you can't run, but you push that out of your mind and rationalise that you don't need that software or don't want to play those games anymore. And finally you snap, and go back to your normal computer that just fucking works, and lets you run anything you want, and you're right back where you started a year or two ago. The iPad Pro is a fantastic luxury tablet and once you make peace with that and use it for what it is, you enjoy it so much more.

[@gabrielgon3408]

Been there with my tab s8 ultra, but the difference is I slowly started using my computer less and less and now I've been tablet only for a year, not considering looking back. 90% of these are non issues on Samsung tablet.

This was by far the most well rounded and least click baity videos I've seen as of late. You have described PERFECTLY, how this isn't a mac, it shouldn't be a mac, but can still behave more like a full fledged computer if only a few things were implemented. I would argue there could be a few more, but not egregiously so and it would end up being vastly better overall for portability than a macbook for most scenarios.

[@eliottgonzalez8844]

This is the apple marketing genius. The ipad pro is a niche product made for a small percentage of people who can take advantage of it's insane horsepower but also limited enough that those same people will need a full fledge Macbook. I have an ipad 21 gen & a 19 Macbook pro. both together are perfect & I have yet to have either show a sign of slowing down.

It wouldn't be vastly better in terms of portability because the ipad pro 13 with keyboard is almost exactly same weight as a macbook air 13 (only 40 gms more) and that is a proper computer with proper file management , no memory handling issues or half baked apps. Not to mention a vastly superior track pad and keyboard experience. Only advantage I can think of an ipad is that it is great for drawing. (Other than the normal tablet use case of media and emails)

[@williammclean6594]

I saw another video about this and the reason they can't fix all these problems is because desktop and laptop computers are click-based and tablets and phones are touched based so they use the completely different architecture. You would think it would be easy to make a PC on a tablet, but it's actually incredibly hard. That's why they don't Port the desktop version of all the programs on laptops on tablets because they work completely different. It would take years of figuring stuff out before they could ever bring a computer experience to a tablet.

[@mikefalls2405]

Command + Space then start typing your calculation. If you need anything more than that for simple arithmetic, you’re probably better off just downloading a third party app anyway. The dot/blob is a function of it being touch first and point and click second. The reason right-clicking isn’t a thing on the iPad is because it’s designed as a touch-first device, not a point-and-click tool. The iPad has to compensate for our pudgy fingers, which are less precise than a mouse. Instead of tiny pixel clicks, the iPad uses intuitive gestures and touch interactions that make sense for a touchscreen. This design choice ensures a smooth and user-friendly experience that aligns with the way we naturally interact with touch devices. Moreover, software like Final Cut Pro is designed differently on the iPad to leverage these touch-first interactions. While the desktop version relies on mouse precision and traditional menus, the iPad version uses touch-friendly controls and optimized gestures, making it more intuitive and accessible on a touchscreen interface. This ensures that powerful desktop applications remain functional and user-friendly on the iPad, despite the different input methods. It’s astonishing how many tech reviewers fail to grasp this basic concept. The rest is on app developers, and not necessarily an iPad issue per se. Would I like it to be like a laptop, of course. Will it? Likely not. Per the aforementioned.

[@nabilhasan8043]

​​​​@@mikefalls2405 Don't you think apple needs to give more focus on ipad than mac as they have been hyping the ipad for so long.. yet they are not making it better than macos in terms of making ipad OS a hybrid place where both ios and macos software would be playable(encouraging swift developers to make apps multiplatform, specially ipad centric). Which would justify the price point and years of marketing about it is the next gen of computer (which it should be now) 1. Ipad-OS (MacOS + IOS) 2. Macbook with (MacOS) 3. Iphone with (IOS) Afterall what is the meaning of giving a m4 chip on a ipad which only does phone-computing. More like giving elephant's strength to an ant.

Yes, I have a laptop and iPad as I am aware that both have pros and cons and that buying both means no compromises and the best of the best as no doubt the iPad Pro is easily the best tablet in the world, by some margin.

[@justhaku9240]

Genuine question not trying to be an ass, what are the benefits over just a phone? Cause if it's portability, I'd imagine a phone would be a lot easier to carry around. I can see how a laptop and a phone are completely different for different situations, but when it gets to an iPad or a phone isn't it just a bigger phone that's can't fit in your pocket - someone who's never owned one

[@sop1311]

the problem is that the Ipad pro has the necessary power but is hamstrung by the software limitations and Apple's greed

[@camsta_]

That's the great thing about iPads: there isn't really a single thing that an iPad does excellently (outside of illustration and art), but it does most things pretty capably. You wouldn't take a photo with a Macbook, and you wouldn't write an essay with an iPhone, but having a device that can do both well is pretty valuable.

[@andyH_England]

@@justhaku9240 The advantage of tablets are that they are a bigger phone and for those of us that are older they are a much better user experience than a 6-inch smartphone. Laptops are great if you need professional apps, but the majority of us just do casual computing tasks and an iPad is far superior to a laptop and a much better user experience than a phone. There is good reason ipads have sold around 700 million in the last decade!

I still regret my decision from four years ago when I chose an iPad Air 3 over a laptop, thinking it would meet most of my computing needs. Despite Apple releasing many new features with subsequent iPadOS versions, they haven't addressed the issues you've highlighted in your video. I really hope Apple listens this time.

[@veloxsterinkognito7512]

They won't listen. Their advice: Just buy an additional MacBook. Unfortunately.

4:54 - 5:38 Handy tip, may not exactly work on yours but does for my ipad: If you’re getting an image from the browser, tap and hold it, should come up with a menu that includes ‘same image to photos’. No screenshots needed. Then use Split View and/or Slide Over (3dots at top middle of screen) between Photos and the app you want to send the image to, and you can drag and drop from there! What you can also do, is use Split View between the browser and the app you’re sending to. Should be able to drag and drop from there. Another note: as far as I know, this is also only available with touchscreen.

My whole “laptop” setup fits in a cross body bag that attaches to the back of my wheelchair and I barely notice the weight.
