Or seen as an opportunity to sell an iPad for every member of the household.
Windows, Android, and ChromeOS tablets all have multiuser and generally compete at the price sensitive low end who are also less likely to buy multiple iPads.
I wonder how many iPad buyers are put off by that lack. I certainly would appreciate it; the current options for sharing an iPad aren't great, and I'd rather have an iPad than any of those other multiuser tablets.

- slownews45 5y agoOutside of the enterprise context more families than not want the app used by one person to be accessible to the other etc. Inside apps you do have multi-profiles - when you start netflix it prompts for the profile of the user.
- wffurr 5y agoI don't really want family members using my gmail account or my bank account access. Do people just not check email on their iPads?
- slownews45 5y agoI totally agree - we use our ipad as the entertainment device. I do not sync email on it. That said, my parents use the ipad for email and don't care about it being shared - they keep it on kitchen counter. My friends parents use one as well in that way and actually use a shared email address as well for all their email. Different generations. I do think multi-profile should show up eventually. But apple has optimized for other things first (a very personal device).
