This article is oddly similar to the Daring Fireball article that just came out and was just posted on HN. Both talk about how, 10 years in, the iPad has failed to revolutionize computing and both complain about awkward UX.

- hinkley 7y agoSomeone replied on that thread that the iPad doesn’t quite have the same upgrade treadmill as other devices. I made do with my iPad mini 2 when it started having a video glitch during the long gap between the 4 and the 5. Then I finally bought the new one. That was almost five years for me. Another one said they were common with children, which is true. But if they grow out of them, then they also might not be replaced that often. Birth rate in the first world is steady or falling. High end device sales for children should tend to follow.
