Oh? The overwhelming majority of people don't log into Apple accounts when setting up their ipads? Do better.

Heya, I noticed that, in responding, you switched your premise from, "You log into an ipad", to, 'The overwhelming majority of people log into their apple accounts when setting up their ipads'. Since this is disingenuous on your part, telling the person you responded to, to "do better" seems hypocritical.

  I wonder who you think I meant by "you"? Did you assume I specifically know the parent in person and how they use their ipad at home? If so, and I can only assume you did otherwise your comment would be nonsense, I can see how that would be confusing and seem disingenuous to you.

    If you're suggesting that by "you", you meant "The overwhelming majority of people who set up ipads", that doesn't sound like a very credible retroactive explanation. Like, it's confusing for sure, but not on the part of the reader. It doesn't even make sense. Most people don't even _have_ ipads. And even if they did, you're basically saying, "this small subset of self-selecting people who are okay with their tablet requiring a login to work, are okay with their devices requiring a login to work", which isn't very convincing to others, either. And even if _that_ made sense, 'these other people are okay with it' is probably one of the weakest possible arguments in favor of /anything/.

      > this small subset of self-selecting people who are okay with their tablet requiring a login to work, are okay with their devices requiring a login to work I'll go ahead and assume English isn't your first language. I was saying the vast majority of people who own ipads are fine with needing to login to an account to get the most out of it. Doesn't seem like a particularly controversial statement. Now go ahead and find some way in which the above sentence is technically incorrect, but you're starting to look silly.

        How does the statement "the vast majority of people who own ipads are fine with needing to log into their device" convince those who do not, and are not?

You can just click the skip button and use an iOS device without any account. Whether or not people want to do this is an entirely different conversation but Apple does not require it. You do better and stop moving the goalposts and lying.
