Every iPad I've bought was going to be "the one where I find a use case that uses it" but every time it ends up being a YouTube machine.

- nkotov 1y agoSame but just entertainment device. I still don't understand where the iPad Pro makes sense.
- coldtea 1y agoIt's great for image retouching and illustration, especially on the go. It's also very handy for running VSTs (well, AUs really) and jamming with keyboards or guitars (with something like iRig)
- bluescrn 1y agoiOS doesn't even make for a very good YouTube machine, you need uBlock Origin for that.
- rg3 1y agoSide comment: when I watch YouTube content on my iPad, I normally use the Brave browser instead of the app. It has a built-in ad blocker that works well on YouTube.
- neckro23 1y agoPsst, you can get uBlock Origin (lite) for Safari now. Works pretty well.
- asimovDev 1y agoi don't think it works with youtube. i am too lazy to sideload personally, so I just use an albanian vpn in mullvad.
- cyberpunk 1y agoGot a vpn subscription? Try exiting in albania, no ads.
- rafram 1y agoYou could also subscribe to YouTube Premium. It pays creators better than ads do (versus an ad blocker, which pays them nothing), and it includes YouTube Music, so you can ditch Spotify.
- apples_oranges 1y agoGarageband and Books for me.. iPad 1 or 2 would suffice..
- recursive 1y agoI bought one just to run Loopy Pro. It has never run anything but the app store, the system settings, and Loopy Pro. But I had the use case before I bought it. If not for that, I wouldn't own one.
- threetonesun 1y agoLoopy Pro is as compelling an argument for buying one on the audio side as Procreate is on the graphics side.
- SSLy 1y agoTry Drambo, haha
- polynomial 1y agoI literally use mine for the Books app and to play chess.
