iPad improvements are interesting; I can't think of any other product that started with so much potential but was completely fumbled in the same way.

iPad improvements are interesting; I can't think of any other product that started with so much potential but was completely fumbled in the same way.
- kick 6y agoiPad Siri literally copies those web chatbots you see everywhere now, design-wise; bottom right corner, larger-than-necessary circle.
- kick 6y ago'Universal Search' seems to be a clone of Spotlight, now on iPad. Interesting.
- kick 6y ago'Draw into any text field and OCR it' is another instance of bikeshedding but I can't help but feel impressed by it.
- kick 6y agoNext in "Are we getting trolled?": they're doing an entire segment on AirPods.
- kick 6y agoSomething probably unintentional that they're highlighting with this particular presentation style (frequent female presenters, infrequent male presenters) is that seemingly every role that they require someone in a position of power talking for, it's male, while the grunt work doesn't seem to have been at all. Personal progressiveness mixed with systemic sexism?
- kick 6y ago"You all have trouble sleeping so we're going to make your phone teach you yoga and meditation" is a very weird thing to do automatically instead of just blue-light reduction (which they already have a feature for) seems weird, but they know the market better than I do I guess.
- rogy 6y agoThe only thing iPad Pro users were hoping for was real external display support, no sign of that unfortunately.
