Currently hardware-wise they're designed for a single user experience. E.g. the limit of face-ids in the secure enclave, or more trivially they don't come with a lot of storage to host multiple photo/music/app libraries without having to put every little thing in the cloud.

The pro line is well into the desktop class territory on any hardware requirement, be it CPU, memory, storage etc. At this point, any feature that exists on their laptops is lacking on the iPad only by choice.

  I'm pretty sure the discussion is about multi-user support on the current Pro line-up? So let me ask you directly: How would you propose to get around the limitations of the secure enclave for Face-ID on existing iPads?
  - makeitdouble 4y ago
    Allow as many Face-ID registration as there is users ? TBH I’m not sure what you see as an issue, and why it couldn’t be the same secure enclave management as on the MBP with touch-ID.

      There is a hardware limit, just like there is with Touch-ID. I don't really see the point in continuing with this if you're going to argue in bad faith - trivial research would have revealed that and other limitations which would prevent this on the current line-up. Now I'm not saying that Apple can't produce an iPad in the future that delivers on the right experience mix in a multi-user capable setting, but that's not what you're asking for - I've provided just a few of the mant kinds of limitations that will degrade the user experience in a way that makes clear that Apple aren't just trying to juice their customers. So the answer here is neither "Apple should just make it happen", nor "You should just buy a second iPad" - the answer is: you should buy the tablet that gives you everything you want, or learn how to share, I rdgaf.
