I found Rob Beschizza's thought [1] about the new iPad Pro insightful: "a very powerful machine, handicapped by iOS having no workflow".
Because of the sandboxed nature of iOS, and the current immaturity of the Files app/feature, it's hard and inconsistent how you can exchange files between apps on the iPad. As a result, you're still mostly stuck to using one app to do things in iOS. The workflow is still fragmented.

- josteink 8y agoSo basically the same kind of argument which has plagued all high end Android tablets: Good hardware held back by lacking software. Iow: If you want a pc, get a pc.
- AceJohnny2 8y agoExactly. Except all the discussion about the hardware power of this iPad is how it's comparable to a PC laptop. But from a software usability standpoint, it's not.
- ozmbie 8y agoIt doesn't matter if Apple's goal here is to get "desktop class" A-series CPUs manufactured and shipped at scale...as a precursor to an A-series Macbook.
