These new iPads Pro are clearly the best iPads ever made, and most powerful hardware in this form factor by a long shot.

Which is why it pains me that the most excitement I can drum up is an exasperated sigh

@stroughtonsmith It doesn’t matter how much power or hardware upgrades Apple throws at the iPad platform. The operating system is fundamentally broken (especially for iPad Pro) and needs to be completely redesigned.

Given Apple’s track record of lacklustre iPadOS advancements year on year, I don’t expect any groundbreaking announcements at WWDC that will fix the fundamental flaws in the iPad’s operating system.

Adding AI functionality to iPadOS won’t provide any solutions to that either!

@stroughtonsmith if it could run MacOS … it would be my next laptop.

@stroughtonsmith Maybe because every YouTuber and Apple reviewer out there screams that their is a problem with iPad, never tell what the problem really is and gets pissed at Apple when they upgrade the iPad because "what they upgraded was not the problem".
Special mention for those who applaud the landscape camera (which brings hardware incompatibility with Apple Pencil 2nd Gen) and get mad at Apple for not supporting 2nd Gen Pencil on the new iPad...

@caseyneiba it's a looong list

@stroughtonsmith boosted solely for the correct pluralization!

kkob,

@stroughtonsmith 1000% iPad OS need to evolve to allow users to take advantage of the hardware in a way that best suits THEM and not what Apple thinks they want.

WWDC needs to be stellar for iPad OS (imagine macOS support and proper windows etc) in order for the iPad Pro hardware to be as successful as it deserves.

@stroughtonsmith The thing that is irritating me is the prices. The price of an iPad 10th generation didn't go down $50 (I know it did), the cost of an entry level iPad went up $100. Parents everywhere can cringe lol.

@stroughtonsmith Being the best of your product is literally the floor of a new version of a product. Like, of course the new iPad isn't going to be SLOWER than the old one. Or twice as thick or something. You get zero points in my book for delivering a faster product years later, that is the point. The only way it's not better is due to catastrophic error, either design-wise (like butterfly keyboards…), or bug-wise (like something requiring a recall).
