      Why does Apple want to release below-par products?
      The hobbled iPhone 16e, no mag-safe but at least it can handle Apple Intelligence.
      This iPad makes no sense at all with an A16 chip and no AI.
      All still demanding its potential customers pay top dollar.
      Perhaps Apple need to review the intelligence of the product designers?

        Anonymous, 04 Mar 2025I'll never buy anything from Apple again. Ridiculous... more

        So true. I have a ipad for youtube , drawing * lazy right now * . And its slow because of new updates . It uses 98% ram. Yes it's old ipad but still . When it ran ios 11 or 12 it was better. But apps didn't support
        I'm in 15.5 and 16.01 is already available for it im not doing that.

        I like atleast ipad from apple so I buy ipads.

        I'm play both sides. Android hard-core but also Ipads lover. Price is shitty .
        I like M4 ones if I could buy but only if they allow Mac Os.

        I'm thinking what your thinking ( Gaming )
        Yes gaming M4 chip is better than any mobile processor.
        Using ipad Pro without mac or Windows is sad.

        The reason Ipad > Laptop ?
        It's way more portable than laptop.
        Unlike gaming phones , M chip can lag less.
        If only you could put them in a android phone , I'd love it.
        But heat is issue.

        I always love the idea of playing pc games without power ( laptops die faster ) and while mac book is there. Ipad is even more portable

        Ipad is like real notebook. Just no need to even open lid.
        Racing games and some games can be played if support.

        There is already AC , Alien Isolation and others butmacos support means you can take the same Netflix machine as working pc.

        It's all for fun. Yes a lot of problems and not conventional.
        One of those stuff you dream as child then. I still feel like it would be awesome if M chip rival tabs came.
        The real gaming tab. Directly pc games , even old classics like Silent Hill , Crysis 2007 or Farcry 2/3

                        Why with newwr more efficient chipset the battery life is always set at 10hrs? No meaningful improvements in years and years. ( All iPads not just this one)
