It really is absurd, isn't it? Multi user iPads would be incredibly useful in the home as well.

- usrusr 10y agoWould it help making households buy a second iPad? Even if it is not the main reason, it sure helps keeping the priority low. But the iPad is an offshot of a phone and those are so personal (the real personal computers, just think of the place where people water-damage their phones) that it would be questionable wether spending "UI bandwidth" on user switching would be worth it even if implementation was free.
- basseq 10y agoWould it help making households buy a second iPad? I'd argue yes. Multi-user profiles mean you have a set-up that's yours. You're more likely to invest in it, which means you're more likely to want to interact with it. If someone else is using the device, you can't—so you buy another one. I think that's more compelling than the argument of, "I need my own iPad so I can have my own space." Many people haven't realized they want their own space yet. The real trick would be keeping everything in the cloud and making the devices interchangeable. So I could have 3 iPads and pick up any one to login.
