    And because of that they sold more smartphones than any company have ever sold in one Q? :) ok!

    Then there’s also this

      Nothing new!!! I was one of them as well.
      My Mi 10t pro is so much better and futureproof than the iPhone 12.

            -Trix-, 18 Mar 2021” Writing word document? Lol the iPad version is a joke com... moreMaybe you didn't read the article carefully and decided to skip the first paragraph purposely...

            "Microsoft has finally optimized its Office app for the iPad and its tablet UI. Up until now iPads got iPhone app that ran windowed, not making use of its enhanced multitasking features, such as split screen."

            Is that what you call optimization? Lol No Thanx... Most people will stick to a Windows Laptop for a better experience.

              AnonD-989007, 18 Mar 2021Lol, he is more present on Apple posts than on Android ones... moreI am not saying bad things about them, just stating facts. But unfortunately any kind of criticism based on facts is considered as hatred on this site.
              Apple (iOS) didn't hurt me deeply, but it did dissapointed me every time I picked it over Android.
              For me a premium product should live up to the mark of premium product, no compromises accepted. I am not interested in logo worshipping.

                JDK a.k.a NOT JUNIOR, 18 Mar 2021Didn't you say you gave up your IOS device a year ago?Yes, no iOS device in our house anymore.
                But that doesn't change the fact that one cannot easily connect any other phone to iPad as seamlessly as we can do to a laptop.

                  From the sound of it, they're keeping usb type C. It'll just support thunderbolt peripherals, which offers a very high speed connection.

                    He wants to be the "notApple" image on this site. Apple must have hurt him deeply to leave such a mark. Lol.
                    I mean, I tried Apple too couple of times (iphones and ipads) and I don't like it either to be honest, but I am not saying bad things about them, because they do also some nice things from time to time. Not to mention sometimes the market shifts the way Apple shifts. So, better not get them angry, lol.

                      XiaomiFan, 18 Mar 2021Isn't that just a laptop with touchscreen?Lol dude, not with iPadOS. If it runs on fully legit macOS, then I will give it a second thought.

                                  It got optimized version for tablet only a month back. ”

                                  This is of course completely wrong, but of course you wouldn’t know this because you aren’t using one ;)

                                  iPad have had tablet optimized version of word for a very long time just like for every Office apps. It didn’t change anyway, i know you saw the article about Office getting optimized for iPad, but you didn’t really understand the news.

                                  ” Interestingly Microsoft has the Office app, which encapsulates Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as independent Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps for the iPad, which already were optimized for iPadOS. There's no word whether Apple will keep the apps separate or just merge them into the new Office app”

                                    everything from web browsing to the app experience is crippled and half assed with missing features everywhere, all a waste considering the powerful chip

                                      and even so just get 2016+ ipad pro for the promotion and youre good
