Nah man it was just a silly joke because I often VPN if there is a really good bargain to be had and their system works directly with our Credit Cards.
Well R100 odd bucks is closer to the same region than being double the price as it's usually quoted.
Why would you want to monitor Wifi usage? Why does it matter?
This can be easily turned off but it's actually a requested feature. I wish they would simply let the whole thing auto-arrange icons based on usage and not just the dock.
I guess this relates to your first problem of Wifi issues...but you can simply turn off auto updates.
However this isn't an iPad thing but just a modern world thing.
Can't really commend on this one.
And did they relate to a crappy wifi network? Because that's the only reason I can think and also wouldn't be an iPad specific thing.
Can't say I've ever experience it being laggy or unintuitive, but I've sensing a general failure of dealing with change here.
And yet is probably still double that of the alternative laptop so I don't see the issue.
So basically they just can't deal with tablets...it's not really and iPad thing at all?
Okay...if you say so.
Aaah we are getting to the crux of the matter being a failure to embrace change in the modern world. Android is better
because flash drive. Wifi is a problem because probably on a 3GB data bundle but expect a modern world experience.
There is no need to move anything around. It should just be everywhere all the time.
This is again not related to the iPad as such. But washing your hands goes a long way.
Completely dependent on individual apps and their development decisions.
Probably still stuck on old school POP3 going by the rest of the list.
This is one I could roll with because some obscure attachments can indeed be problematic.
Can also be configured not to do this.
And yet it is lauded worldwide as the best thing since sliced bread by artists.
So the outlier device that they were bound to dislike before even touching it doesn't work in their pro-Android ecosystem and therefore the device is the problem.
It doesn't work the other way around either if everything is all Apple and you bring an Android device into the mix.
The "prone to error" part is firmly at the hands of the user here. It's actually very hard to break or error anything on a locked down device like a PC and that makes it very simple to support. Can't say the same for PC (or Android for that matter) where they can completely destroy everything with a few clicks.
If it doesn't work for them it doesn't work them, but a lot of the things listed above is a failure to embrace change or just complete bollocks and reeks of someone being pre-determined to dislike the iPad and Apple in general...and it's especially funny since it's rated as the best Tablet option out there...even by open minded Android people.
Dude, this format is really difficult to work with. Just compose a single message body with a logical progression.
If you're going to use a VPN, surely Russia, Mexico, India, the Philippines etc. would have the best prices? If Argentina accepts our credit cards I would expect most countries to.
I'm the only person I know who owns an Xbox. PS4 is much more popular for console gaming in SA from my experience, and most PS4 games are unavailable from websites like CDKeys. The prices are generally really high. I've often heard from my step-bro about him buying PS4 games during a sale at prices I'd pay for preorders (R600ish). I'm also someone who prefers not using grey market stores like CDKeys. Nearly all my games come from GOG & Steam sales and Humble Monthly. I don't like the idea of an environment where you're beholden to grey market sellers to avoid being taken for a Charlie.
As for the iPad:
- If your Wi-Fi is a mobile connection then it can be critically important to monitor data usage on all the connected devices. It's built into Android and Glasswire takes 2 minutes to install on a PC. But the only iOS solutions involve running all bandwidth through a VPN, which is nuts.
- Massive update sizes are not a modern issue, they're exclusively an iOS one. Most Android app updates are tiny - 9MB WhatsApp, 12MB Outlook etc. Yet on iOS they can be minimum 100MB each, with 500+MB for each of the iWork and iLife apps. It's a galaxy apart from Android data consumption for updates.
- Wi-Fi dropping is a very common iPad Pro issue. I see it mentioned often on MacRumors or when an upcoming iOS update is being reported.
- Play Music lags like a beast when scrolling playlists, so I'm not sure how you can miss that. The Music app is really cumbersome to use if you're used to Apple Music on Android.
- Their laptops would typically remain plugged in so battery life is irrelevant.
- It is probably the case that a different tablet would not be better than an iPad. I'm not arguing for the iPad being a poor tablet offering.
- Not sure why you're disagreeing about the office software on iPad being any good. I can't imagine too many people have ever gone from a PC to iPad, opened Office or iWork and thought "yep, this is great".
- Not everyone has unlimited bandwidth. I do, but my parents don't and most people around the world don't. It's not reasonable to make something as simple as moving files around next to impossible. I mean, I couldn't even add an album to my dad's Apple Music library. If I log out my own iTunes and login with his details, nothing happens. It just seems to go into a 'do nothing' state so as not to upset my library that's waiting to connect to an authorised account again. No way I'm uninstalling iTunes every time I want to do something on someone else's account.
- You say the settings inconsistency is down to individual developers, which is exactly my point. It's annoying.
- My parents use Gmail and IMAP. When I said email is slow I meant the touch interface is slow going for people who deal with a fair amount of email. Opening attachments is frequently an issue. It's slow switching email accounts, and slow going back and forward with Safari or other apps with links, media and other attachments. When you're used to being able to breeze through such a task, a cumbersome touch setup can be immensely frustrating.
- They don't have a 'pro-Android' ecosystem. Chromecast works just fine with Google apps on iOS.
- My parents know next to nothing about technology, and iPads are expensive, so there was definitely no negative predisposition towards the devices.
The iPad Pro is quite obviously the best tablet on the market. But that doesn't mean it's awesome in every way and is a good substitute for owning a PC. What competition even exists? Can you think of one good Android tablet? It may be the case that tablets are simply not for everyone, but without more devices to consider it's not a conclusion that can be drawn.
Yes, they should. However you have made that differentiation difficult based on the manner you have been presenting your "opinion"....
This is a forum - 99% of all the discourse here is opinion. And when statements are clearly opinionated, don't use language to assert a factual basis and the word 'imo' is sprinkled around as a courtesy, it's not challenging at all to differentiate opinion from fact.
Difference in pricing for games isn't that much anymore. Especially if you use Cd keys, game pass, Xbox Live, Xbox sharing and second hand games.
I don't think I've paid more then R400 for a game on Xbox one
You can spend as little as you want on any platform. The question is how much you give up for that saving. R400 might buy you an older flagship game, but it could also buy you Humble Monthly + EA Origin Access Premier + Xbox Game Pass with change left over.
