Its funny how people berate the ipad and iOS in general always sighting the versatility of "real" computers.
But I remember before ipads and iOS there were loads of the different apps that were not being made because the form factor of the pc didn't suit it.
You never had cashier apps like square, handheld music control devices, using it to keep recipes whilst your cooking, drawing diagrams on the screen, controlling synths etc.. from your mac/macbook like you do with the ipad.
When you actually look at it, its the ipad that is far more versatile and configurable than the "real" computer!
The holy grail was Office, Photoshop and the file system. The things that meant that regardless of what the ipad could do a "real" pc was much better. Well, Office has been here for a while, the file system isnt that bad now and finally, photoshop is here (despite having Affinity already..).
Then it was the raw power that meant "real" computers were better... well thats not the case now being that it's pretty much faster than any mac under $2k!
And this with 10hr battery life, rugged durability (hardly any moving parts etc..), plus an OS that is designed not to waste power like a normal pc (that allow anything to run in the background, all the time).
For me I feel like people have to stop pretending that "real" computers are better for everyone right now. Desktop pc's are becoming far more specialist. If I wasnt a programmer I wonder why I would need macOS? Now that you can hook these ipads up to 5k screens and video edit or whatever, I think its a game changer.
Even music wise, I prefer making music on my mac because I'm just used to it. But what cubasis and beatmaker 3 are doing, you can easily make records on an ipad, no problem.
I just think the narrative has to change. The ipad is really the future of computing. Steve knew that, most of Apple internally understand that. I dont see how the whole wintel thing can grow further than it has now.
