I think this is fair, though. We live in an age where technology is increasing exponentially, run by super-rich, super powerful companies, so it just seems reasonable that things get better exponentialially, but they don’t.
Why is iOS on my iPad Pro so inferior to MacOS and my iPhone iOS? I bought a state of the art iPad Pro last year. Testing it out in the store it was awesome. It’s more powerful than a brand new MacBook Pro (which I just returned because of its lousy keyboard and poor performance, and so-so sound). My iPad has incredible sound. And yet, for all its awesomeness it’s practically broken iOS means I use my wimpy ‘15 MacBook Air 98% of the time (literally). I barely ever use my iPad because...
1) There are very few apps designed with a keyboard in mind.
2) iOS’ autocorrect is weirdly over aggressive to the point of being beyond annoying, as compared to MacOS’s very balanced autocorrect.
3) Why can’t I zoom my screen inside apps by pinching? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? This is beyond annoying. It’s stupefying why an iOS device cannot zoom the screen! Why! It doesn’t make even an iota of sense! I can zoom my iPhone screen all day long but I can’t zoom my iPad screen? How does that make any sense at all? I’m totally baffled by this. I rely on screen zoom; it’s a huge reason I bought the iPad Pro, but somehow I managed to overlook the fact that it doens’t zoom the screen outside of certain Apple apps!
Instead of letting you pinch zoom the screen, Apple, in its infinite unwisdom, created a terribly designed, unintuitive, annoying, useless, unusable zoom “feature” where you tap with three fingers to get a useless, teeny little magnifying box. Holy crap, does anyone actually like this horrendous excuse of intelligent design?
I expect more from Apple. What a waste of an otherwise beautiful and powerful iPad. Such a shame. Wish I could have my iPad be my daily driver.
