You don't have to love the iPad

Thought of the day, from Francisco Tolmasky on Twitter

The frustrating thing about the iPad is that I constantly feel that I need to be buying into a philosophy

Well said. For me, it doesn’t represent an issue. I love to buy into this philosophy because it is different, delightful. His tweet, one is a series is interesting. But, one the following ones, things get just wrong:

Propping iPad up at a *good* angle? Pay $350 for a cover that prevents you from using it like a book anymore.

I don’t get it. Remove the iPad from its keyboard and voilà! Simple. And this:

the iPad is now a worse tablet with the Magic Keyboard. It kind of sucks for typing in bed compared to the software keyboard, and it’s unusable for reading since it doesn’t flip around like a true cover.

What? Can someone explain him that he can remove the iPad from the keyboard when he goes to bed at night? This thread just feel “trolly". The iPad is obviously not for him but he doesn’t know it yet. 

Is Apple doomed now?

Well, at first glance, Apple’s financial numbers are pretty solid, considering the current situation. Services and wearables are shining. The future is uncertain. Apple didn’t provide any guidance which is expected I guess. It could have been much worst as experts and pundits were expecting lower numbers. 

Remember when we used to write « this year is the year of Linux »? 🤔

With the Magic Keyboard, 2020 is the year when iPad is a real laptop replacement. 😳🤷🏻‍♂️

Using LumaFusion with the Magic Keyboard is really cool but I can’t wait for the updated version that takes advantage of the trackpad. Oh and editing 4K videos on an iPad Pro is incredibly fast! 🙃
