Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] iPad Pro Review: Why I Returned the New iPad

iOS does what I need it to do. For me, it's a desktop and laptop replacement. For you, it's not. I can consume and create. Maybe I don't create enough for you. Maybe my budget software and depositing checks via iOS isn't enough for you.

Why do you keep thinking this is a place to tell others that they're wrong? I don't get that. You act like Tim Cook was talking to you directly and would say "you're doing it wrong", when nothing of the sort occurred. People say an iPad Pro would work best for them and they're wrong?

Use an iPad Pro, Surface Pro 4, and MBP for all I care. I wouldn't tell you that you're wrong.

Apple do touch screens. Everyone does touch screens.

I would and actually do agree with you, the issue I have is those that whine that iOS is a consumption based OS, which it is, and that has been echoed by many here in the past, now Tim Cook says why have a PC when you have an iPad Pro, and many here see it as uber productive, it can do anything. Well it can't. technically it could, so can a 3 door shopping trolley take me skiing, it could but who would??

Make a choice, Apple fans, of which I am one.

Is it a laptop replacement as Tim Cook heavily implies, or is it a great consumption device, that for some, meets all their needs, for most, I need a real PC [insert PC or Mac here]

Off course they can make OSX touchable or make iOS less restricted. No issues either way, whats the best way? I see a full computer such as a PC or Mac, or a tablet for consumption and lite tasks

There is nothing in MacOS X that deals with touch/screen sensing.
Adding that would bloat the operating system, for a tiny fraction of users that would ask for it, many of whom would quickly discover that they don't like reaching up and out to tap on their computer screen.

To say nothing of adding screen sensing capabilities to what are already high-end computer screens, increasing their thickness and weight, to say nothing of cost, all out of proportion to any demand.
