    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

    • @andyH_England
      @andyH_England Year ago +30

      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!

    • @nikoraasu
      @nikoraasu Year ago +41

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

    • @andyH_England
      @andyH_England Year ago +13

      @nikoraasu 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
      @CallMeVidd Year ago +16

      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
      @andyH_England Year ago +10

      @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.

      And I always reply: If you don't want a tablet, buy a (touchscreen) laptop.
      People think the iPad (even with all accessories) is a laptop replacement. It's not. It's a THIRD device between the phone and the laptop. It's always meant to be that, and it always will be that.

      @freestar_cyan I chose the s9 ultra over Ipad pro mostly because the aspect ratio on the Ipad is extremely bad for watching videos and movies, screens bigger, can multitask apps at the same time, audio is better, the pen that comes with it and the magnet points are better, built in second screen function to turn it into a 2nd/3rd monitor, just seems crazy to me now people would ever consider the ipad over the s9 ultra, the only actual thing the ipad might be better designed for is actual creative functions like drawing etc, but 99% of people never even touch that

      It is exactly what Apple claims: a complementary device to a MacBook. Apple cannot help people that do not understand the reasoning the ipad exists, and want it to be more when they should know its limitations.

    • @Sfdi123
      @Sfdi123 Year ago

      Bros talking as if the iPad has any hardware limitations, it's literally faster than a full fat Mac, this is just apple being greedy and stuff like the mouse and keyboard not working is so stupid, if this was an Android tablet people would be like "this is why I use apple"​@andyH_England

    • @rebecca1297
      @rebecca1297 Year ago

      @andyH_England and it works perfect as what it is. I can use it as a singular device at Uni, work on the same files on my MacBook or put them next to each other and they will connect and I can use my iPad as a 2nd display or whatever I need at that moment. I totally understand that people say, Apple is expensive, because yes, true. But Apple does not lie to you about that. Apple is a luxury brand and if you want the whole experience, you need more or less all products. I don't need the Watch because i don't like watches and since I don't have a TV, I don't need the AppleTV and my homePod is unplugged for month now, because it is too loud for my small room and Siri sucks.

      I partially agree to what you say. But after paying such a premium, you can't say to the user, hey you are not supposed to connect a mouse to the iPad given that it supports that feature. If Samsung galaxy support Dex, people should expect it to work even though only 1% or less will actually use that feature regularly

    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
      @eliottgonzalez8844 Year ago +6

      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.

    • @marvinjohn
      @marvinjohn Year ago +2

      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)

    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.

    Many of these issues are the same issues that iPad has had from the beginning. When iPad first came out a lot of people hoped it would replace a laptop, but closing background files, inconsistent behavior between multiple apps, lacking multitasking, inability to efficiently use a mouse and keyboard, non-ubiquitous access to a common file system, not having a calculator… it’s shortcomings make it where I’d rather use my phone or a laptop/desktop.

    • @ContraVsGigi

      @ContraVsGigi True they pretty much put an M1 chip into a giant phone. With the M1 chip it is able to do so much just not well. At that price point you might as well get the Macbook

      @williammclean6594 Year ago +4

      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.

      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.

      ​​​​@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.

    I’ve been using an iPad Pro for about a year and agree with all these points, especially the point about the competition between the MacBook and the iPad. No matter how many times I open up the iPad, there’s a visceral joy that makes it feel less like work. But then actually DOING work becomes much more complicated.

    I got my iPad for premed 3 years ago… it’s been a dream to open up any assignment, worksheet, pdf, or textbook and get straight to annotating. There are so many sketches and notes all over my anatomy lab sheets, I really think it’s made my learning so much better. I used to have to open each in a document and edit manually and sometimes the format wouldn’t even allow custom edits. Plus the cloud has made it so I can effortlessly switch between iPad and MacBook. It’s my best purchase for my undergrad, saves time and money and enhances the learning experience.

    Influencers always come up with the "see if I can replace laptop" but it always ends the same.

      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
      @andyH_England Year ago

      @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!
