Apple could make ipad users more willing to switch to Mac from windows pc by making iPad more capable - but they are to greedy and too much focused on profit margins than growing the pie and revenue
I used to own ipad but don't own anymore even though I'm Macbook user - I have surface go though since I hate ipad software limitations.

There are lots of people who _want_ a simple device like an iPad. Why force a more complicated device upon them?
- timbit42 2y agoWhy can't it be both? Make it simple but also have advanced features tucked away for power users that aren't visible to users who want it simple.
- bzzzt 2y agoIf you allow so called 'power users' to muck with the system a lot of people end up breaking it by installing all kinds of battery wasting, privacy invading crap. The only way to keep simplicity is to make it impossible to get complicated.
- musicale 2y agoiPads seem to require less technical support vs. laptops running Windows or macOS, and the simplified user experience can be beneficial as well.
- musicale 2y ago> ~26m vs ~60m per year Sounds like Steve Jobs was right about trucks. Personally I find the iPad is my go-to "I don't need a keyboard for this" machine. Kids (and adults) also like them as handheld gaming and streaming devices.
