      Fearghast, 08 Jun 2021And what an meaty update iPadOS 15 is! It adds ... it ad... moreI partially agree, the only feature that was added post release and that I use daily is multitasking. I was referring mostly to security features and third party app support. My Android 6 smartphone on the other hand lacks many fancy features from apps like Messenger, Instagram and YouTube. As far as battery drain is concerned, I think that's a problem with most old devices...
      At least they let us choose when to update to iPadOS 15 for now, so we don't get the typical 'x.0.y' bugs.

                        The Surface Pro is already underpowered out of the box. Don’t be misled with the i7 labelling. It is a NG version.

                          Some windows people think that all it takes for a device to be a tablet is for the screen to be detach from the keyboard. So they think the surface is.... a tablet. What a joke! They don't bother at all to the fact that most apps do not function 100% without a keyboard and mouse, or that there are very few tablet-designed apps for the Surface because who would bother to develop tablet apps for it? For people who like laptops, Surface is an option. For those who want a tablet, Surface is the worst option and one of the most expensive ones.

In fact, some apps are doing much better job than that you get on Android. Whatever the iOS cannot do there are several apps to compensate. On the contrary, this is not the case for Android, maybe that's the reason why the Android offer so many features, because third party apps aren't as good and as varied as on iOS.

                              It adds ... it adds ... you know, updates on iPad OS, I am on the Apple tablet wave since OG iPad Pro on iOS 9 and updates ... updates on iOS sucks.
                              There were like 5 decent features added in years since iOS 9 - mouse support, better gamepad support, Safari update, Youtube not limited to 1080p and something like half broken file management.
                              Every other update I get massive battery drain, so hurray for Apple updates.

                                It's unbelievable to me that my iPad Air 2 is still supported for iPadOS 15 updates, almost 7 years after launch. That's like releasing Android 12 for a device that launched with Lollipop.

                                        Every single thing you see on Apple environment, including new designs comes from Symbian, WinMo and Android side.

                                        Apple never invented or created something for smartphone era.
                                        They even borrowed "slide to unlock" design from NeoNode, rounded corners from Sony.

                                        So, child...
                                        I know these stuff because I was there, but may be you wasn't even planning to this world yet.
                                        But, there is still time for you to learn the truth, or you can stay in your tiny world. just like another apple fans.
