All iPads State of iPad is DUMPSTER FIRE

[mandrake2016]

The UI is a mess

The keyboard and trackpad/mouse support is ass

Multitasking is that of an etch and sketch

The walled garden software sucks since devs gave up

It is not a computer

It is a single purpose glorified calculator with youtube

Never again buying an Apple product till Tim is gone

The UI is a mess
It's a touch first device

The keyboard and trackpad/mouse support is ass
Then just use it as a tablet with a cheap pencil, and stop trying to turn it into something it isn't. An iPad 11 is $249 on sale plus $20 pencil on Amazon.....not bad for a secondary device.

Multitasking is that of an etch and sketch
Toggle multi-tasking off

The walled garden software sucks since devs gave up
The native apps work and there are thousands more in the App Store ....surely some of them are useful. For example, my daughter is a doctoral student and she uses Good Notes everyday.

It is not a computer
Right. It's a Tablet

It is a single purpose glorified calculator with youtube
A bit hyperbolic here. For example, how about:

• reading/responding to mail & messages
• reading books
• marking up documents
• taking notes
• enjoying photos
• watching movies
• browsing the web
• drawing and sketching
• viewing as a secondary screen paired or synced with MacBook

Never again buying an Apple product till Tim is gone
That's your choice.

Sure. Sell yours and move on.

Why are you using Apple stuff? Most of your posts are completely against them, so I question your motives.

Buy a Mac. (Or a Windows computer, or whatever you like). Clearly the iPad isn’t for you… and you know what? That’s okay.
