- behnamoh 1y agolike Apple Vision Pro?
- r0fl 1y agoNo Like the iPad which many said is useless and just a bigger iPhone and so far Apple has sold ~500,000,000 iPads
- behnamoh 1y agoiPad still _is_ pretty useless, unless you opt for the "pro" models which let you do some productivity work on them. otherwise it's just suitable for consuming content.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 1y agoNot useless for what feels like every child in the US under age 12
- olyjohn 1y agoUseful for shutting them up and feeding them addictive trash media you mean.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 1y agoYes
- behnamoh 1y agoChildren in the US under age 12 don't do productivity work on the iPad. Steve Jobs didn't make the iPad as a kids toy.
- sys_64738 1y agoI've been using the iPad OS 26 betas and it does dramatically improve the viability of the iPad 9 I have.
- titanomachy 1y agoTurns out that people really like consuming content
- oblio 1y agoI guess you missed that people around the world watch TV for 2+ hours a day :-)
- jimbokun 1y agoWell we can have LLMs do all the work so consuming content is the only role left for us.
- gniv 1y agoExactly. A thousand pundits don't have a tenth of the vision of a single Apple PM.
- sys_64738 1y agoThat sucked up all the early adopter $$$$ waiting to be spent. AAPL hit the jackpot there.
