Over the past few years, Apple has heavily pushed theiPad as a replacement for your box.
That makes the new iPad hella powerful.
Combine that with a gorgeous OLED display, and your entertainment needs are also covered.
The answer is Apple itself.
Why Buy an iPad?
Unsurprisingly,tablet sales have plummetedover the past few years.
The primary reason for that is the devices confusing proposition.
Take the iPad, for example.
It bears no additional value to make it a lucrative proposition.
So Much Confusion
Apple spoils you for choice.
Lets say you decide to buy an iPad instead of a Mac.
Then, theres the newer iPad 10 with a 10.9-inch screen.
Moving up the price ladder from there will get you the iPad Air (available in two sizes).
Finally, up at the top, in flagship territory is the iPad Pro.
The iPad Pro is again available in two sizes, adding to the confusion.
I love having multiple options to choose from as a consumer.
But too many cooks indeed spoil the broth.
Thankfully, the new iPad Air starts at 128GB of storage.
This is a much-needed jump from the last-gen Air, which started at 64 GB.
No tablet or consumer gadget in 2024 should have 64GB of storage, so Im glad this is fixed.
So, theres no more confusion, right?
While the storage issue is now sorted, Apple wants you to be confused about sizing.
The iPad Air now comes in two sizes: 11-inch and 13-inch.
Thats great, a new option for people who want a large screen, you might think.
But, this is where the confusion starts yet again.
The 256GB 13-inch iPad Air is priced uncomfortably close to the base variant of the 11-inch iPad Pro.
So now, youre more confused than before.
Gosh, the spiral is endless!
At its core, iPadOS is still a scaled-up version of iOS in several ways.
Of course, there are some additional features like better multitasking with support for multiple windows and Stage Manager.
What we need is a new, revamped OS to resurrect the lineup.
A powerful OS that goes toe-to-toe with macOS.
One that can facilitate easy multitasking.
And one that can run intensive apps, programs, and games to match desktop-level productivity.
After all, whats the use of a mighty powerful chip that cant be utilized to its full potential?
A Far-Fetched Dream?
Bringing macOS to the iPad will eventually result in a touchscreen Mac.
This is exactly why Apple will never do it.
Just think about it.
Apple would end up digging its own grave.
Needless to say, Apple would want to sell both devices to maintain its trillion-dollar market cap.
That said, WWDC is right around the corner.
kindly surprise us, Apple.
