Nothing has changed here. You're just defining "work" differently than Apple. You're looking at programmers, they're looking at the whole. Programmers always needed access at a lower level. Others rarely did. 95%+ of the world's digital output can or at least could be done on an iPad with a keyboard. If anything the number is rising. I no longer need access to an (installed) office suite. A web browser will do.
So in some way you can consider yourself an extreme power user, but please don't walk around telling doctors and lawyers and journalists that what they do isn't "work", because it doesn't involve a compiler and JSON.
- smsm42 10y agoNobody says lawyers or journalists or road workers or electricians or barbers or Macdonalds cashiers don't work. However, Apple products in the past were well-tuned to work needs of many software developers, IT workers and other such professionals, for which there's a lot of evidence if you visit any suitable conference, for example. But, it looks like recently Apple has been de-emphasizing the importance of this use case, which would mean the above mentioned professionals may want to look for a platform better suited to their needs.
