Two objective facts that weren't mentioned here. Samsung's Tab lineup lacks professional apps, but actually can serve as a fully functional laptop replacement for day to day tasks. Multitasking in OneUI (even before DeX) just absolutely thwomps iPadOS. This makes the "who is the iPad FOR?" question worse. However, the iPad mini is arguably the best small form factor tablet available in the United States and has been for a few years. I'm not much for Apple's ecosystem anymore, but I keep considering coming back for that lil guy.

Recently bought my wife a 9th gen. Bought her the original iPad mini when we were in grad school. I use the small iPad Pro daily at work. Totally agree with you, it’s a no man’s land of almost good enough. Hence why, even though my wife likes having them to play with, I can’t really find a compelling case for one for myself. I’d like to, but it’s basically a big phone and I intentionally bought a 13 mini because I don’t need a big phone. 🤷♂️

This is the 3rd or 4th Austin video I've seen of him just having no clue why anyone would buy an ipad... I just think he is so disconnected from 90% of common users because of his job and expertise that it clouds his judgement. My kids have iPads for school and watching TV. I have an ipad for notetaking, reading, watching movies while traveling, light video/photo editing.... things I could bring a laptop for, but the ipad is just more portable and does everything well enough. And at $800, it lasts almost a decade. Few laptops boast that kind of longevity.

phones getting "bigger" doesn't help in this specific use case because they're generally just really tall and skinny, which is a terrible aspect ratio for anything but watching movies filmed in cinemascope. a 6.8" display at 16:9 or 16:10 is much bigger and more useful for non-movie-watching tasks than these narrow ass things. I have a 6.1" (19.5:9) s23, and while it is much smaller than the 6.8" Galaxy Ultras overall, the aspect ratio makes that size gain pretty useless? I ran games on both my S23 and a oneplus 12 (6.8" at 20:9 aspect ratio, so even worse) and the UI elements in most games were pretty much just as hard to see. Outside of watching narrow aspect ratio movies, actual usage was so much more comfortable on my 10.9" iPad Air 5 with the 4:3 aspect ratio.

I think buying any phones, tablets, or Apple's laptops brand new these days is a bit ridiculous, unless for whatever reason you absolutely need the latest for your use case. If you buy a gen or two behind, the tech is still solid and you can find them for half the price of retail or even less at times, whether it's used or new old stock being sold at discount. I got an m1 MacBook Air, m1 iPad Pro, and an m2 Mac Mini each for at least half the retail price.

It’s definitely a software problem. I do video editing, CAD, and graphic design. The iPad has the power to do all of that, easily; and the touch screen honestly makes it perfect for certain things I do. BUT the software is lacking, it’s incredibly limiting. It’s like putting a hellcrate engine into a Prius; yeah you have the power, but you don’t have the transmission, drivetrain, or suspension needed to take full use of your motor(M3). I tried to get by with my iPad Pro for years. Ended up finally selling it and going to a MacBook Pro. I still miss my iPad for certain things, especially things that the touch screen made super easy to do. I’m hoping Apple finally just merges MacOS and iPad OS closer together. If they do, I’d probably keep my MacBook and buy a new iPad Pro as well. But if the next iPads are just hardware upgrades(screen, camera, etc.) and not software; then I won’t be getting one. Apple either needs to make the iPad Pros software pro level, or just stop producing them.

These devices have way more than enough power to do so much more than we are lead on to believe! If the devices just let us do more they would have a real daily use for so many people.

A lot of my classmates really liked using the ipqd for school. They scanned worksheets we got and worked on them digitally and took all of their notes that way too. I never was intrigued enough to buy one myself, but i feel like this makes a compelling usecase. Keep in mind that they used ipads in german school that lack any internet infrastructure avaliable for the students.

My 2020 iPad Air has been a huge tool for my university studies in atmospheric science. It does not replace a laptop when Excel or Python have to be used, but other than that it has virtually replaced all my notebooks but the calculus one, plus has helped to arrange expositions, movies, drawings and posters way faster than other methods. Being able to watch movies and play games like Genshin on the go is the plus for me. I’d say if you are a student is well worth it, still it won’t replace your computer.

I am a Comp. Sci. student that uses an iPad Air more than my actual laptop. When it comes to taking notes, there is just nothing that compares. Typing on a laptop to take notes, I find myself spending too much time trying to format my notes in a way that makes sense and math notes are almost impossible. Paper notes are good, but it is harder to erase, there is no lasso tool, there is no copy paste, there is no document search (I use good notes which can search handwritten notes), and the list goes on. I also use my iPad for most of my homework too. You say that the lines are blurry, but I don’t think they are. The iPad is great at taking notes, drawing, practicing handwriting (my cursive has gotten a lot better since getting my iPad), watching movies (my friends and I have a movie night on Thursdays and the iPad is the easiest thing to plug into a TV and watch something on Disney Plus), playing games (I played a couple of games on the Apple Arcade Trial and it was great for that). Those things are just better on iPad than on your phone or a laptop. Sure, it isn’t great at editing videos, but neither is your phone. And yeah, it is not always the quick and easy way to do things like your phone, but neither is a laptop. The iPad is its own thing, but you are apparently not in the targeted audience. Long story short, I completely disagree with you. You are expecting the iPad to be a laptop, but it’s not. It isn’t for everyone, but if you make something for everyone, you make it for no one.

If I could, I would absolutely switch to an android tablet, because android is just better than ios, and I might even use that a lot more than I currently do with my ipad. Before I got my own cell phone, I used my ipad for everything (except for when I was at my windows computer).

Oh, yeah, they only sold 135 million iPads in 2023. Such a tiny number. It's really in trouble. Have you had brain damage? Are you drinking the koolaid? Obviously a lot of people bought iPads. I didn't buy one because the one I have from 2020 is still working great and I use it more than any other computer. I definitely use it more than my phone because it has a bigger screen. The phone screen is just too tiny to do much of anything useful on. I read, browse the web, watch movies, TV and videos, play games, do my banking, pay bills, read and send emails. Just about anything you can do on a laptop.

in 2020 I bought a secong hand iPad, and I basically used it for enterteinment purposes: streaming, gaming and reading, basically. My GF asked me if he can borrowed it for her masters studies and I just gave it to her. Last year I bought a brand new iPad Air 5th Gen to basically do the same stuff but with the added bonus of having an apple pencil I started using it for image editing and photoshop. That's it. I really don't use it for anything else, I do a little bit of work but I do use my PC for work, and that's it. Is a little comfort tablet to me, and often use it as a some form of "replacement" of an Amazon Alexa, because I can bring it to any room in the house. I've seen some people use it as a carplay for their cars that doesn't have it so, that would be my next use for it.

Especially with Stage Manager now, and a good keyboard, the iPad was perfect for my needs. If I was a Computer Science major, perhaps a Macbook would have been better.

If they could just put a full touch version of MacOS on the iPad it would be perfect. Still have the iPadOS there as like a main overlay, but then have an option to switch to MacOS mode. MacOS can already run IOS apps (since its basicly the same OS), and its "LaunchPad" is essentially a toned down IOS interface. Also if you may have noticed, several of the Macs features have been changed to look more IOS-ish over the past few year, so this may be something they have had in mind for a long time. Having the iPads run MacOS with just a IOS overlay that you could switch between, or "unlock" with their keyboard attachment feels like it just makes a lot of sense. It would be like Windows 8 was trying to be, but not crap lol.

I met an Apple exec on a flight a few years back and they insisted I could easily replace my computer with an iPad. At the time I was a doubter manly because of the iPad’s clunky file management. A few years later I did replace my personal computer with an iPad. I strongly prefer it for photo editing over the MacBook with Lightroom and it is INSANELY fast… that said, I do have a few annoyances that I’m not sure are app related or iPad OS related… Zoom is annoying to use because it acts more like a blown up iPhone app - can’t see people and have the chat open at the same time. Connecting to a display is nice in theory, but it sometimes feels cumbersome to get the windows all positioned where I want them to go and they are pretty locked into some preset sizes. Overall, you can do basically everything you can on a computer, but I can’t see using it as my only work device mainly because you can’t really drag and drop files the same way you can on a computer which I do a lot of at work. It is a nice companion and perfect for my everyday browsing needs plus photo editing specifically. Also fantastic on airplanes. Laptops take up too much space and the less flexible screen orientations aren’t ideal when you’re crammed into economy (heck even the tray tables in business class aren’t that big so I’d still prefer the iPad there too unless I really needed the computer for a specific reason).

My first Ipad was the 12.9" 128GB, iPad Pro, which I bought in 2017 for $529.92 and lasted me till December 2023. When I began looking at getting a new iPad, the price of the 12.9" ipad Pro was what made me consider trying a smaller more affordable 3rd Gen 11" 128GB iPad PRo, which I bought last Christmas for $700 dollars. I was unsure of the size because I am an artist and I was not sure if it would be enough screen realesate for my work (it is). I have really loved the smaller form factor of the 11" and the magnetic apple pencil is so convenient. I use my device mosly for doing my art in Procreate, content concumption, and some light gaming. To be honest, if I was not an artist I would definately go with the much cheeper ipad or an android tablet.

I went from an iPad Mini to an iPad Pro to realize that I liked the Mini better but I’ve argued that each apple product offers a different computing experience. iPad Mini feels like a tablet. But the Pro I feel like I am missing out if I don’t have the Magic Keyboard. I have thought of considering redefining how I use my devices and really stick with that. The choice to make is make the iPad your only computing experience that does everything differently or does only a specific thing better than your traditional computer.
