Still remember those iPad jokes, couldn't possibly be called an iPad, what kind of women sanitary pad is this, yet it was true to be called that way.
someone please share the funny photos of larger ipads

magical experience?
a lot of us hardly use our ipads these days![]()
It's sad to see the iPad rapidly dying due to the misdirection of Tim Cook. It has so much potential, but needs software support to truly unleash its capabilities.

And many still today.
How is it that your account pre-dates the iPad, yet you clearly weren't around in 2010?
He was just making a generalized quote what was said about the iPad. That doesn't have anything to do with his actual membership. You didn't have to have an account to read through comments or articles on Macrumors.
Says the person with a 6 month old account. He said "Everyone 7 years ago". Not a generalization but everyone. I was around, I just don't have access to my email account from back then to reset the password. There were a few naysayers like always, but it was very positive. We were all expecting the price to start around $1000 and it was amazing when Steve gave the price. The reaction was very positive, jokes about the name aside.
Now we get people on the forum complaining about complaints years ago that never existed. This site is just toxic these days. It wasn't in 2010. The poster I replied to is a huge example of what is so toxic today.
2012 iMac looks identical to the previous model, just thinner. AirPods look identical to Apples iconic earbuds but without the wire.I don't know about that. 2012 iMac, 2013 Mac Pro, 2015 MacBook, and 2016 AirPods, were all groundbreaking designs.
That doesn't stop it from what Tim Cook envisions the iPad to be. Perhaps it may be limited in OS, what it can do versus a laptop at the moment. But just within the last year, with the release of the iPad Pro and where the iPad is leading, I definitely think Apple sees this as being a direct competitor to other PCs.
I have been shocked at how many threads I read on this website of Apple users abandoning their laptops for their iPads. The convenience factor is prevalent and what they can accomplish on their iPad compared
To the PC.
So last year (which was really the year before), Apple releases the iPad Air 3 but renames it the iPad Pro in order to improve their marketing position. What does that have to do with improvements with software?
My first and only iPad was an iPad 4 which I used extensively. For consumption usage, the device was absolutely amazing. I also purchased a keyboard and would frequently use the device for word processing. I could tell the iPad platform had a ton of potential to replace PCs. I still feel that way today.
The problem is, the world isn't standing still. Apple has added dual application support for the iPad, picture in picture, and stylus support. It's not enough. They really need to reinvent the iPad and have a team of software engineers dedicated to it. I just don't see Tim Cook taking the risk and spending R&D on the iPad.
So I'm venting my frustration. You can defend Apple if you'd like, you have the right to your opinion and I won't take that away from you. But if Apple continues to see sale declines on the iPad like they have been, I'm afraid they'll neglect the platform further. You do realize iPad sales are less than half of what they were in 2013, right? The iPad platform is burning down like a house on fire and Tim needs to get out the hose.
