You're already dead

i still have a ipad mini 1 and it's at the point where it's effectively unusable for anything but the most basic app usage. like even a complex webpage will make safari endlessly crash and reload

i don't like apple but i don't think that article is right, because i have a nexus 7 2013 and the only reason i have yet to buy a new one is how long it has lasted and it rarely leaves home, so i think most ipad users are on the same boat. it is just a long lasting type of device

for some reason analysts treat tablet sales as if they should be like phone sales, when theyre really closer to laptops in replacement rates etc

years ago everyone said it was good that apple was one of the few companies willing to cannibalize its own products but now- it's bad

its good as long as the margins are greater on the new product. so this cannibalization is probably the best ever

I went to the apple store to try the ipad pro pen and not a single pen worked, and then an employee came over and was like "Ah you need to go to Settings, disconnect it, and reconnect it again, it does this all the time"

I might have bought a pro for doing art if tim "ship it" cook wasn't in charge!!

Simply not possible that the worthless trash iPad pro outsold the worthless trash Surface. I'm not sure if an iOS device is worse than a ARM Windows one but they're both worthless for anything important.

it's a sign of poor leadership that apple decided to even enter the lovely market of the foldable, but tim got super scared by microsoft's advertising and now they're on top of the ridiculous, terrible foldable market shitheap

i mean, sure they could have defined a new market segment with innovative products like steve did, but where's the accessories profits to be had there?

the pens have to be paired which is a clusterfuck in the apple store but no problem at home unless you have a dozen iPad Pros and Pencils lying around

seriously we've been using it nonstop for over a month and it never once has needed to be re-paired like that
