iPad Pro can well be a productivity powerhouse, and being a “powerhouse” does not need the equipment being powerful or extremely capable. For example, I would love to bring iPad to build master sheet for the building I am managing, rather than MacBook Air. In this case, even though the workload is light, iPad makes more sense than MacBook or Laptop in general.
And guess what? iPad processor raw power is very close to Intel processor raw power according to synthesised tests (*cough*Geekbench*cough*), which already indicates something. With the clear intention from Apple to replace intel processor with their own A series processor, iPad has already become a powerhouse and the year of first ARM Mac won’t be very far, and definitely much much shorter than “a billion year”.
Yes. As “companion”, or in some cases outright replace computer, especially in creativity and illustration industry.
For the interest of not repeating myself, I will not argue the pwoerhouse part again.
But, maybe you should spend more than 2 months on Apple products and services before whining or arguing what others say when other people uses Apple product longer than a year. Also, I wonder why you keep buying Apple products despite not using them too much.
The thing about this “master switch” to dark mode is it will ruin app design. Sure, dark mode is “good” for our eyes, but what if developer or designer don’t want to introduce dark mode? They have the freedom to do so. The master switch idea does not make any sense.
