Like I said, you’re delusional and embody what is wrong with people today who think what they want regardless of the facts.
This quote just further sums up the flawed mentality & misguided justifications of Apple apologists and is everything wrong with Apple's fanbase today.
Well I'm glad at least one of us is laughing however the "reality" (as you so eloquently put it) is far from funny, in-fact it's painfully sad and as a long time, OG, Apple supporter, deeply upsetting.
Did you know that Microsoft released Windows Vista in 2007 and that same year had a record profit. By your twisted logic that meant Vista was a superior product, Ballmer as a CEO was doing no wrong and that consumers were preferring Vista over the alternatives (Mac OS Tiger & then Leopard) which by extension means those OS' were crap.
But hey, you keep doing you buddy - Tim Cook was not wrong when he fired Scott Forstall, nor was he wrong when he allowed the Apple product landscape to get bloated & confusing, nor did iOS quality drop significantly under his tenure, nor did he let Google overtake Apple in the education & virtual assistant market despite a significant head-start, nor did he allow iPhone sales figures to fall short of its first super-cycle expectations for the first time in its history, nor did he supervise the MacBook Pro's fall from grace until it was reduced to a punchline & is the laughing stock of laptop industry, nor did he oversee the release of the worst Mac Pro in the companies history necessitating a complete overhaul of the product all the while allowing its Pro customers to grow disillusioned and setting up an emergency PR meeting to save face, nor did he release a ridiculously priced gold Apple watch that no one bought and was cancelled without a second mention within a year, nor did he cave to the authoritarian Chinese government's demands favouring a dictatorship over the freedoms of its Chinese customers.
I could go on & on with all the not wrongs that Cook did not do but I've honestly gotten tired of typing.
For the last time all your quotes only served to sum up the flawed mentality & misguided justifications of Apple apologists and is everything wrong with Apple's fanbase today.
Just because you can't see it and are too biased to properly & accurately grasp the meaning of my comment (despite all the times I repeated it to you) doesn't make it less true. Yet you call me delusional and unaware of the facts. Again I'd laugh like you if it wasn't all so depressingly sad.
Dan from MacRumors continues to make less than stimulating videos. “I don’t do high intensive tasks on my iPad” is no excuse for a f***ing reviewer! Load up some video editing or music apps and test the damn thing out. My dog could tell me that all iPads handle email and texting just about the same. When I watch a video from a serious tech site I want testing and facts, not idle opinions and cursory overviews because someone’s trying to meet a deadline.
[doublepost=1522827024][/doublepost]Anyone else notice that Dan from Macrumors likes to say “theeee” before words that start with consonants, instead of saying “the” (thuh)? E.g. in this video he said “let us know in theeee comment section below.” I’m no grammar nazi but hearing him say “theeee” over and over makes him sound like a guy who’s trying to talk fancy, which ruins his cred and makes it hard for me to take anything he says seriously.
I know this is a seemingly small thing, but it drives me batty. If anyone else is as annoyed by theeee problem as me, please chime in and let me know I’m not a monster.

My 6S is fine on iOS 11; the iPhone SE and 2017 iPad also have the A9/2GB platform, which overall has relatively few complaints regarding performance.
There are probably 150 million iPhone 7 in use; how many other performance complaints have you heard? Sounds like your 7 could use some troubleshooting to figure out what might be the problem.
Seems like there is a lot of hate going on for this device on this thread, but so far I'm happy with the new 128 iPad.
I'm an attorney and admittedly my use of the iPad is 90% in iAnnotate to mark up large pdfs that I'm reviewing for depositions and trials. I'm sure I'd have more gripes if I had a more intensive need. However, for me coming from the Mini Retina this thing has been great. Didn't previously have side by side view support and that has been something I can't believe I was living without. Very convenient all week to have the documents at issue opened on the left, and Notes open on the right so I can quickly jot things down with the pencil or draw quick diagrams.
I actually preferred the size of the mini in my hands so my suspicion is I'll do a lot less holding of this device but otherwise it's a solid little machine provided you go in with the right expectations. I can't speak to how this thing would fit a more intensive user but I also don't think this device is actually targeted for that user.

I remember, not long ago, when Apple told us that only their double rate scanning provided a smooth and accurate pencil experience. Nice to seem them abandon their high standards to provide the new "iPad 2" which will probably be sold well past it's shelf-life and provide a cut-rate experience for schoolkids for years to come.
I’m curious ... just how many of your college students can touch type on a computer 50, 60, 70, or 80wpm? I gather you being above 38yrs old yourself (pure assumption based on generics) what was your won average in high school to compare? Moreover how fast is the wpm for each student on an iOS device in comparison to a computer.
Process this test and you maybe surprised how many are faster and more accurate are on iOS va a standard keyboard for a computer or keyboard for iPad.
I don't need any of the features the pro models offer... I was able to trade in my iPad Air and walk out with the new iPad for $200. It was a no brainer for me.
