On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.
Whoever can afford this can already afford the laptop alternatives. My guess is that this will be a convenient “nice to have” item whenever bringing along a tablet over a laptop feels like less of a hassle.
I haven’t used an Android device since my last one, the Galaxy S8. Beautiful hardware, beautiful design, but it was plagued with animation stutters and dropped frames. I switched to an iPhone and an iPad around 6 years ago. And the animations were buttersmooth. It was almost unthinkable to achieve such a fluid interface on any...
I’ve literally tried every single fix like toggling settings, installing and playing around with custom kernels or trying out root apps, and I’ve never been able to reduce the aggressiveness of MIUI’s RAM management.
That issue persisted even on my flagship-equivalent end MIUI devices. It only seems to disappear after installing AOSP-based custom ROMs.
Erm, that’s not the same thing that the comment was referring to. We’re talking about paying twice for essentially the same app on two different operating systems.
That’s different from the lock in that you are referring to. Your explanation involves installing the same purchased app on two devices running Android.
Also, I have a lot of apps and games that only require me to make a one time purchase on either Android or iOS.
This is my biggest objection. That’s like when all the good drinking happens.
I guess that’s the issue with the lack of information in these copied and pasted laws.
That law only applies to drinking in public. You can simply go to a bar and drink all you want.
It was implemented after the Little India riot incident in 2013.
If you’re caught drinking in public, you’re probably going to just get a warning and receive instructions to dispose of the alcohol. But things would be a lot different if you refuse to do so.

I assume that you are talking about connectivity issues?
On a side note, I used an international base S22 and had terrible battery life when I was in the US. However, that’s likely due to the chip’s inefficiencies rather the connectivity issues. I had strong 4G/5G reception on T-Mobile.
