What part of buy the device that fits your workflow needs are YOU not understanding? If stage manager is that mission critical to your needs that you absolutely must have it, then you know what the requirements are, so adjust accordingly. The iPad you bought 8 months ago didn’t stop working just because a new feature was announced. It’s not the end of the world. You’ll be okay I promise
Yup. Their iPads still work, and they are getting more features. The complaints just crack me up haha
Victims? It’s the dramatics of this post for me 😭
If people made an assumption that is their problem. The fact is Apple is STILL supporting those 8 month devices, and those devices will still be just as wonderful and fast as they were when they bought it. I get it. Progress is swift in the tech world and trying to keep up is futile. However, you were never promised stage manager and throwing a tantrum won’t change that fact. Want Stage Manager? Get a device that meets those requirements. Otherwise, move on. It really isn’t that hard.
When you buy an iPhone SE you know it is not the top of the line as the iPhone Pro Max exists. When the 2020 iPad Pro was sold it was the top of the line iPad, you could not buy a more powerful iPad and there was no indication an M–based anything was coming. Ironically, LiDAR was the defining feature of the 2020 iPad Pro and future features that rely on it will probably be limited to M1 only iPads.
Personally, I upgraded my old iPad Pro to the M1 because it had a larger screen and had a chip in it that would ‘future proof' me as much as I could at the time. I have no doubt when it comes to iPadOS 17, I will lose out on features.
I believe that you can only assume that you will get most of the updates after 1 year. After 2, you will miss out on quite a few. Why do I believe this? Because it’s the way it has been since iPhone was upgraded in 2008.
It may use VESA and MIPI's VDC-M which compression ratio is up to 5:1, more than DSC's 3:1. 6K at 60 Hz requires over 30 Gbit/s without compression, but it will be compressed to well below 10 Gbit/s with the technology for mobile devices.
I guess that’s no longer the case as it’s under a year old are missing this feature.
Like I said. It’s an assumption and doesn’t mean it’s always going to be the case.
If you are telling me the key features that make this “iPadOS” vs most of the same features that are shared with the phones are not supported after a couple years, it becomes hard to make the argument that there is any value in buying an iPad Pro unless all of the features you need are present in the current, shipping model and OS. Casualties of the march of progress may be an acceptable ethos for some, but if you burn too many people on high-dollar hardware purchases while doling out OS features at a snail’s-pace and narrowing support windows for key features, at some point, sales take a hit. The promise of iPadOS was that it would mature and it is not unreasonable for iPad customers to buy into the platform with the expectation they would grow with it.
3G was also a battery hog. I doubt the original iPhone even had the juice to spare.
I'm not talking about iPads that were for sale within the year, but were actually released years prior - I'm talking about iPads that were announced and released within the year - such as the iPad mini 6.
Haha. Naw, iOS 16 Beta 1 has been stable for the most part. Let’s not create a narrative that iOS 16 is buggggy by adding it in Beta 2 and leaving it untouched. Lol. I think their engineers will be like, “Not this (s) again.” Lol
