My particular blocker for using an iPad (Pro) as a (non-development) PC is that none of the messaging apps I use (SMS on Android, WhatsApp, Signal) have iPad versions, so even though I've got a perfectly functional iPad with keyboard in front of me, I have to use phone or PC/Mac for messaging.
- kortilla 8y agoDoesn’t the messenger app for iPhone sync to all of your apple devices?
- Marsymars 8y agoYes (for SMS and iMessage), but I don't have an iPhone, so there's nothing for my iPad to sync to.
- baby 8y agopro-tip: you can use whatsapp web by requesting the web version (long press on the refresh button). I think this is a good excuse to be productive on that platform though.
- kitsunesoba 8y agoIt’s really quite ridiculous that neither WhatsApp or Signal have iPad support. The way their UIs are arranged, they could have iPad support for nearly free if they used UISplitView. There’s absolutely no excuse, especially in WhatsApp’s case.
