   Reading some iPad Pro reviews. What feels puzzling, troubling, and just off base is that the the complaints about iPadOS could have been written before and most were.

   So I’m not getting the love/hate with the device/software. I don’t think anyone expected iPadOS to offer anything new at this point. If they did they were wrong.

   If they’re hoping they’ll push Apple further at WWDC, that ship has sailed whatever it contains, so I don’t get the push.

     @WarnerCrocker I was thinking the same thing, and the sad thing is those tech reviewers are not dumb. They know that Apple is cooking long before they serve. It’s too little too late if the goal was indeed that.

     @aggualaqisaaq I’m still a big fan and user. The iPad is indispensable in my work, but I think I’m an edge case.

     It's weird how it keeps getting demonstrably worse and less useful as time goes on. My iPad is over 5 years old and I basically just use it is a glorified scratch pad. The screen is cracked but I have no interest whatsoever in getting another one. There's simply no point.

     @WarnerCrocker I think it's because there's nothing left to say about the hardware. It's the best tablet there is, and now it's thinner than a phone and lighter than a MacBook. The hardware is everything anyone could ask for. It's just the firmware holding it back from being what many folks believe it can be. Reviewers are taking the opportunity to not just praise the hardware but push Apple on the firmware.
