This isn’t new, but does highlight the fact that Apple often doesn’t let us have nice things. iPads do tend to be single-user devices in practice, but every time I have to help family or friends set one up I am taken aback by how much computing power they have today and how much more useful they could be. Multi-user is just one thing, but especially galling for people on lower budgets or who want a tablet for family use. But Apple is not alone. My Nexus 7 Android tablets (the first tablets I bought for my kids, second-hand off of eBay) supported multi-user quite well. I haven’t seen any modern Android tablets that do that (and I looked around at Android 11/12/13 tablets recently).
