    [deleted post]Sadly, I can't argue with that.
    Seriously ... at least on my other tablets it feels like some effort was spent on the OS (sadly not on the apps).

      Wow Android features from 10 years ago, way to go Apple!
      Maybe one day people can actually use a real non-Webkit browser with Plugin support and a real 100% file system browser they like, and not the forced and limited Apple "choice" ?
      No chance in Hell 😆

        [deleted post]You are confusing android tablets that indeed looks and feels like apps are blown up from smartphones, as developers we make apps for ipados for the qspect ratio and pixels scaling specific for ipads

          Anonymous, 07 Jun 2021Literally every new feature is straight up stolen from Android. Talk about the new ad tracking feature on Android 12

            Apple should have worked on the OS to ensure that iPads and iPhones can truly replace laptops and desktops for professional video and photo editing without all the unnecessary quirks.

              Let's try some reverse psychology... Please apple, DON'T give us a decent file system, we DON'T want it!

Never mind that touchscreen phones were before apple made them so they took the idea and several others and made there own that is also called copying . They have never had anything original. Even design is influenced from other brands. Only thing they had was Steve Jobs who was marketing genius who would sell used diapers to anyone and they all be very happy with it also

                              It's so funny reminding sheepfans used to make fun of widgets. It's gimmicky, useless, battery hog, clogged up your screen. Now look at the ipad's homescreen, It's literally filled with widgets. You can't even see the wallpaper on an enormous screen haha.

Looks at all the Symbian and Windows Phone 6 smart phones that came before the iPhone and wonder if people honestly didn't know smart phones existed before the iPhone.
