iPad has probably had the most dramatic shift of all of Apple's platforms, since its inception. It began as doing very few things to a very high quality, but now it does almost everything, badly. I hope history finds it to have been more than just an incubator for Apple's Mac silicon during the wayward years

@stroughtonsmith I think its gotten better

  • Multitasking options w/ split screen/slide over/stage manager (ignorable if you want)

  • The best display Apple makes in the 12.9 (MacBook Pro caliber but w/ touch screen)

  • Cellular connectivity

  • Keyboard/trackpad/pencil support (also ignorable)

Most people have basic computing needs (email, notes, calendar, web browsing, watching media, etc). I’d argue iPad now does all these well, and is best in class for some (modularity/media/notes).

@stroughtonsmith I think my issue was more with your quote “It began as doing very few things to a very high quality, but now it does almost everything, badly.” It still does everything well that it did well at its inception, but now also has a ton more features/capabilities (i.e. significantly better displays/speakers, multitasking support, pencil/keyboard/trackpad/mouse support, cellular, USB C/peripheral support, resizable windows, etc. But I do agree it has not lived up to its potential.

@viticci I heard you say recently on Connected that you went back to using the 11 inch iPad. Any chance you’re planning on writing/podcasting more on that subject? I’m debating on going down to the 11 inch for my next iPad and would love to know your thoughts on the transition. Could you still use an 11 inch for productivity?

@gruber Curious about your Kagi use- do you use their Safari extension to make it your default browser, or do you use their Orion browser (or neither)?
