09 June 2019
iPadOS splitting off may be the beginning of the end for Mac OS. But the iPhone changelog is shorter, offering few major improvements.

        Now, who do you trust in terms of product? Blindly follow a company that rushes things out.. just to claim first to launch. Or one that perfects everything before launch?

                          I'm excited for iPad OS being that it's the only Apple product I care for and use daily. The iPad is just an overall wonderful device on the go for most, if not, all your needs. I have an iPad mini 4 that I've owned since launch (Nov, 2015) It is still kicking along with no problems and it impresses me everyday really. I will be force to upgrade next year though because this maybe the last supporting update for the mini 4.

                          As far as smartphones go, I have a Pixel 3 that is amazing and I just prefer Android customization over iOS.

The phones with 3D touch can still use it in the same way, its just that newer phones wont have it so it will not be developed for by devs, apple etc since newer phones wont have this hardware.

                                      Not worthwhile for the iPhone, but iPad ... that is certainly interesting.
