Should you (me) buy an iPad?

>>110206771
No
>>
>>110206774
name 10 reasons not to
>>
i had an ipad and one day apple said it was too old and was no longer allowed to download apps so that was my last apple purchase
>>

buy a new one?

1. It is overly expensive
2. It is locked down.
3. The extra acessories are even more expensive.
4. Everytime you buy Apple products, you contribute to collective social construct that Apple is better.
5. Everytime you buy Apple products, you enforce they should be locking them down more
6. Upgradability and repairability are non-existent.
7. Shitty external monitor support.
8. It is too bulky.
9. Multi-tasking sucks.
10. The CPU and firmware glows in the dark.

sounds like a you issue

>>110206843
Those are ten objective facts. It is a you issue.
>>
>>110206821
no

No.

1. It's overly expensive.
2. It's a walled garden
3. It's proprietary in nature
4. XCode is overpriced
5. The documentation is horrible for developers.
6. Taking it apart is hard
7. Putting it back together without destroying the Apple fingerprint reader is even harder
8. The Apple support number is hard to remember
9. Apple exploits children in far away countries to make their products and you are now aware of this. Enjoy the guilt that haunts you if you have any empathy. Real children in the congo are forced to mine lithium and you just idly sit by and allow that to happen. You're a real piece of shit human being because I said so.

The only way I see it delivering is as something you put in a stand in the kitchen for recipes, etc. But seriously, I have never liked tablets.

>1. what are you, poor?
It has nothing to do with being poor. It's just mental retardation to pay extra and give Jews more money.
>9. multitasking is for adhd fags
Tell me you have no idea what multitasking is without telling me you have no idea what multitasking is.

Shit, I was gonna debate the expensive part, but apparently the cheapest model is $450 now. That escalated quickly, I got my basic one for like $259 what feels like just a few years ago, but I guess maybe it was like 2019.

For the stuff tablets are actually good for, I don't really think there's a good alternative. I bought a mini to use for Foreflight when I was doing flight training, and it only runs on iOS so you're kinda stuck unless you switch to alternatives that are worse and won't sync up with your instructor's Foreflight for logging hours etc. At $259 my old regular iPad was great for reading random wikipedia type shit in bed or on the shitter too. A mobile OS tablet isn't a PC replacement and I never tried to use it as one so I can't speak on anything like that.

I definitely wouldn't. I had to use mine for that when I was dating a girl who didn't want to have sex as much as I did but would get mad if I looked at porn or fapped so I had to sneak it in the bathroom and the ipad is awful for that, trying to navigate such a big thing with one hand while fapping with the other is impossible.

What do people even use tablets for now?
Watching """"content"""" on the sofa?
Use your phone. Or just don't. Go to sleep.
Or watch on your desktop. You don't have to sit on the sofa to watch something. Unless you watch TV.
I really don't see the point of a tablet in this year. It was a thing back in 2015 or something. Now only boomers use their tablets to read the news. It's the new TV.
