@stroughtonsmith@WarnerCrocker@doctorlaura Carrier offering iPhone 12 for US99.99. Checked Apple site, it can get iOS 17. It's just 64GB, but that'd be a huge upgrade my shit phone's 16GB. Go or no-go? Can do week after next.
@stroughtonsmith@WarnerCrocker@doctorlaura So, is iOS Pages a Mac app too? Or is there any alternative to MS Word? I use Atlantis WP on Windows. Generally love it. Can make ePub too! And HTML. And some other stuff I'm not interested in. Bought lifetime license.
Some of the iPad angst isn't that we have to wait 'till WWDC to see if the software is improved.
It's that little birdies have strongly hinted to us not to expect iPad to really go anywhere from here, that Vision Pro has sucked up all the oxygen inside Apple.
That iPad never really had the resources to fulfill its promises, and much of what was there has now been diverted.
That Apple's design folks couldn't really understand why anybody would want to use an iPad for anything but Pencil work
@stroughtonsmith Help me out here. iOS 1.0 didn't have any way to select text, right? Didn't that come later? So who are these idiots who say 1.0 couldn't copy/paste when text couldn't be selected from the start?
