The iPad. While revolutionary in a time when Android tablets were just running a blown up phone OS (Android at the time was only programmed for small, portrait mode smartphones. Companies such as Asus, HP, and HTC recognized the need for tablets, and thus, modified the crap out of Android 2.0 to make it run in landscape and portrait, but all it did was create a buggy user interface and a stretched out experience.), the iPad is no longer holding such an innovative title in my eyes. When Apple announced the iPad Pro, I just laughed, It is merely a 4 year late Microsoft Surface Pro with a stylus that stupidly recharges through the iPad itself, ready to break off, and features the discontinuity of not featuring Apple's 3D Touch. Normally, Apple would unify an experience on devices, such as transfering Retina Displays or Touch ID. If someone knows how to use an iPhone, someone knows how to use an iPad, an iPod, and an iPad Pro. However, if someone now buys an iPhone 6s, and starts using 3D Touch to interact with everything in the UI, when they pick up, they would learn fast their new fancy device does not necessarily do everything their phone does, and this creates discontinuities, something unlike Apple. Not only are there discontinuites, but Apple has completely copied Microsoft's screen size, high resolution, and pen idea, slapping revolutionary on the front, but you know why I hate the iPad Pro so much? Because without Windows 10 running on it, it is just an overglorified paperweight in my eyes, as apps are never powerful enough. PROfessionals need real software, not App Store apps and Angry Birds blown up on an oversized iPad. And that, is why the iPad Pro will never be a real Pro version, as no professional in their right mind would rely solely on App Store apps.
