@viticci dozens of times I’ve tried to be an ipad first user and you just hit most of reasons for not doing it

@viticci ooooof. I use my iPad a lot, and often recommend that setup to execs, but... so much of what you're saying here rings true.

We also recorded a special episode of AppStories with a bit more backstory + why I continue using the iPad, despite iPadOS: https://appstories.net/episodes/383

...and I was on @upgrade with @jsnell to talk about his review and my story on iPadOS.

Episode here: https://www.relay.fm/upgrade/512

And YouTube segment about iPadOS: https://youtu.be/Wsm6Oz9wri4

My idea for this story was pretty simple:

• We always hear of the "limitations" of iPadOS, but I've never done an article covering them all
• I had plenty of time to write anyway 🙃
• I wanted to convey how you can love the iPad form factor while also criticizing its software

It's a long one. Sit back and enjoy: https://www.macstories.net/stories/not-an-ipad-pro-review/

@viticci Thank you, Federico. As a long-time iPad-only user myself, I felt like you were channeling my frustrations and wishes so so many times in this piece, as well as why I continue to wrestle with the iPad Pro being my sole computer setup. I sincerely hope someone at Apple is listening, but the fact that they didn’t bend over backward to give you, of all people, a review unit—especially when you flew to London to watch a 34-minute video!—has broken my brain. Keep doing what you.

@viticci

Thanks, I agree with all of this, but can't believe you missed my top complaint :)

Using Photos, why is it SO HARD to determine the pixel count of an image? For sharing and use on a blog for instance, you certainly don't want the 12mpx (or 48mpx these days) to be uploaded.

Sure, I can hit the "Info" button in Photos itself, but when using the photo picker in basically ANY app, that info is not available. Just two thumbnails beside each other, looking identical. Meta data matters!
