You are in a tiny minority. I say this as a fellow member of that minority. But our complaints have (and should have) very little to do with what Apple does or doesn't do with iPads.
- SomeOldThrow 7y agoApple is not in the business of designing tools, they are in the business of making money. We’re gonna end up using ipads regardless of our needs.
- mostlysimilar 7y agoPeople need tools to build the apps that run on their devices, apps without which they would make significantly less money.
- SomeOldThrow 7y agoPeople will build tools fine on Xcode for Ios or whatever, and you will have a unix app or something that gives you access to tools. Not want you want? I doubt apple gives a shit.
- rusk 7y agoExcept that you need developers to build an ecosystem and Apple is currently alienating them in droves. developers developera developers as a wise man once said
- rifung 7y agoHow does that argument follow? Apple needs developers but they don't need those developers writing code using an iPad do they? After all, iPhones have an endless amount of apps but nobody (or close enough to nobody) is developing apps using their iPhone.
- rusk 7y agoThe stuff they do themselves is terrible; they need third parties and they need a thriving market place to develop talent and competency.
- untog 7y agoI'm not seeing any decline in enthusiasm for iOS development, but maybe that's just me. In any case, you can develop fully featured projects for iPad on the web too, you don't even need a Mac for that, let alone an iPad.
- rusk 7y ago> you can develop fully featured projects for iPad on the web Oh goody
