Ask HN: Why doesn't Apple allow Pro features on a iPad Pro

2 pointsby factsarelolzover 2 years ago
Is apple just taking a piss and the &quot;Pro&quot; line just means &quot;more Ram and Harddrive&quot;?<p>StageManager is completely trash.<p>Window resizing is trash.<p>The windows have a mind if they&#x27;re own and no way to know there they&#x27;re going.<p>Can&#x27;t use iPad internal speakers with an external display. My clients _love_ when I have to pull out my Bluetooth speaker and then pair it to get sound. Amazing!<p>No virtual machines (UTM).<p>No usable terminal.<p>No extensions.<p>Battery life is terrible. Charge stops due to the iPad getting too hot while in the Magic Keyboard&#x2F;Case, being charged by the OEM cable and block. &quot;Oh you thought you had 100% battery? Nah it&#x27;s been sitting at 80% for the last 10 hours not charging even though the icon is green and there is the lighting icon.<p>Is there anything that is actually a portable pro device with tablet like ergonomics and removable keyboard that I can actually use to fit my needs?<p>I do like the screen

&gt; Is there anything that is actually a portable pro device with tablet like ergonomics and removable keyboard that I can actually use to fit my needs?<p>A Surface Pro?<p>It sounds like you want the freedom of a general purpose computer. An iPad Pro is not a general purpose computer, it is a tablet.<p>Apple is still figuring out Stage Manager and windowing on the iPad. Consider it a preview.

&gt; No usable terminal<p>Pro does not equal developer. A &quot;pro&quot; device can be for professional artists, teachers, sales people, etc ...

Probably Surface Pro 9 with SQ3 chip. Apps for consuming content are more limited, but for Microsoft Office and other Productivity Apps, it&#x27;s pretty good.
