You're probably right about the schools, but I want to disagree with you about content creation in general.
I'm using my iPad for painting, writing, video creation every day. It is extremely useful and convenient for my purposes. It has a specific niche, and might not be for everyone, but I very often prefer it for specific tasks.
At this point, writing(in Editorial) for me is pretty much as convenient as writing on my laptop. I wouldn't code on ipad, but for notes(which I take a huge amount of) and fiction it's perfect.
And since they've introduced the stylus, it's insanely great for painting(in Procreate). I have a wacom tablet, but I still use my ipad all the time. And I can record the video tutorials, or stream my painting process on twitch, it's really cool.
And if I need to, I can use Pinnacle Pro to edit my videos, narrate voiceover over them, and publish them on youtube.
So the whole creative process - script writing, video recording, editing - can be done entirely on my tablet. I find it extremely cool.

For example:
- Here's a video I've made entirely on the ipad:

(sorry for the annoying voiceover, I'm working on getting better at it)
- And here's the collection of my favorite art made by other people:

- tmd83 10y agoFiction writing on touch screen keyboard is as good as your laptop's keyboard? I can sort of understand the painting/video creation even though I don't do either. But I would guess you would be a special minority in the writing department.
- nkkollaw 10y agoHe probably has a keyboard, but students don't.
- Filligree 10y agoEven then, he's wrong. There are power tools such as Scrivener which have no equivalent outside the PC ecosystem.
- jaegerpicker 10y agoWhat? Scrivener has LONG had a iPad version https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scrivener/id972387337?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scrivener/id972387337?mt=8 Also Bear is another amazing iPad writing app. As good or better than anything on PC IMO. Clearly he's not "wrong", it's almost like people who like the iPad for content creation actually may know what they are talking about.
- Filligree 10y agoLeaving aside that I'm on Android... That's still version 1. It won't even open my files.
- jaegerpicker 10y agoThe versions are different across platforms. Version 1 on iOS WILL open desktop version 2 files. Here is their site where they talk about that: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener_ios.php https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener_ios.php Also we are talking about iOS and Apple in this thread not sure what Android has to do with it.
- Filligree 10y agoI borrowed an iPad and tried it. The app crashed on trying to open one of my files. What they claim to support, and what they actually do support, are not necessarily the same thing.
- ux-app 10y agoYes you're absolutely right, the IPad is great for creative/artistic work. My comment reflects my own bias. I'm an IT teacher so I'm teaching computing fundamentals, coding, game dev, web dev etc, and for those activities an iPad/Chromebook is not up to the job.
