I mean you say all this, and then in every iPad keynote Apple hypes the performance for power users, content creators, photographers and videographers, and even gaming!
Case in point, the latest iPad Pro has an M4 chip which no other Apple device has.
The problem is Apple just don’t want to give any of those demographics the ability to run what they want - instead only what Apple thinks they should run.
- Fwirt 2y agoExcept that the iPad does run what they want. Just because the App Store doesn’t have X piece of software doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have Y suitable replacement. In fact, most of the functional equivalents in the App Store are better optimized for the iPad’s unique hardware than a piece of software developed for another platform. As somebody who has recently (within the last year) replaced his Android devices with Apple equivalents, I initially lamented the lack of some of my favorite apps, but at this point I actually appreciate the functionality and quality of the apps I’ve replaced more than the ones that I miss.

Apple blocks JIT, causing the iSH and aShell emulators to make the iPad too hot to touch, and too hot for the battery to safely charge (you'll get a message that charging has been stopped until the iPad can cool down). Apple blocks VMs (removed in 16.4).
