The OP literally just told you stuff they're creating on the iPad. I get we should be cynical of marketing-speak and all, but "it is possible to create real things on the iPad" is not just marketing speak, it's stuff people who are actually creating real things on the iPad have been saying for years. I'm currently kind of down on my iPad due to travails using it for writing screenplays (long story, not that interesting), but I have used it for creating -- and presenting -- slideshows to large audiences, writing multiple articles and publishing them directly to WordPress and Medium sites, creating technical diagrams for my office, writing a 110,000-word novel, doing revisions (change tracking and comments) on other people's novels, touching up photographs, doing GitHub reviews, on and on. There are people who edit successful podcasts with Ferrite, edit multitrack 4K video with Luma Fusion, on and on and on. iPads are tricky-to-useless for most development work currently and that tends, for obvious reasons, to be a major limitation for HN's main demographic. But that doesn't make the iPad "just for watching videos". To claim that it's not capable of being used for a wide range of real work is either ignorant or trolling.
