Keyboards have arrow keys, and iOS supports shift-select and the Mac clipboard command keys, so you might give it a try if you’re having trouble with the touch interface. Kids probably don’t have the same issues.
- ghostcluster 9y ago> Kids probably don’t have the same issues. Your argument consists of imagining that kids prefer iPads to complete certain kinds of work when the data tells a different story. Chromebooks are vastly outselling iPads and their margins continue to increase. iOS has functional shortcomings at productivity tasks, and those functional shortcomings don't evaporate if you happen to be a kid, unless you just want to repeat the party line painted by Apple's advertising.
- fauigerzigerk 9y agoI'm not a believer in the magic superiority of kids either, but neither do I believe that sales numbers are a reflection of specific productivity features. Who makes those buying decisions based on what?
- robterrell 9y agoAnecdotal, but my kids have school-issued iPads and personal chromebooks. They prefer the iPads for pretty much everything (except perhaps typing long papers). Watching them edit a document on the iPad drives me nuts, because the select-copy-paste process is so inefficient... but it's how they prefer to work.
