Oh shit also

>External storage finally natively supported

check

OK, shill

Finally getting what Android had for ages.

>>1068332

If only Android can finally get a decent user experience

>>1068334

What's your objection to Android's ux, though?

If I had Apple stuff I would be excited to hear this. However, my HP Elitebook can do all those things and has a nipple, which the iPad doesn't have, so that's a level of performance they will never have.

>>1068336

It’s fine to someone who hasn’t experienced Apples UX but after you do there is no turning back. Android feels very clunky and poorest integrated more times then not. Especially outside of stock ROMs which are usually a mix of stock and OEM components that barely function together. Tier wise I’d say the various Ubuntu flavors and Windows offer the best UX on desktop but on mobile it’s no contest Apple blows Android out of the water

>>1068342

As someone with an android phone, I don't see how the UX is a problem. It has a web browser, can call and text, mobile hotspot, and a long battery life. I have a difficult time imagining how someone would want to use a phone for more than that, as you would be much better off using a small form factor laptop or tablet for anything else.

>>1068346

>My phone can do basic shit the user experience is good!

You have little perspective and/or low standards. That’s all

>>1068346

You literal just described exactly why iOS is superior to Android in terms of user experience. Android feels bloated and like is trying too much to be like a desktop

>>1068342

I'll agree that OEM-tweaking often sucks. But then, installing a launcher can override much of it anyway. There's no way to override an iPhone's interface, which I seriously dislike.

They're not "back"; "i-Pad OS" is now on the level of the average Android tablet. They could do all of these things in 2014.

Or hey, guess what? I've got a tablet sitting right next to me that runs fucking Windows 8.1, and it costs 100$. It can do everything you described, plus things that are actually useful. The average i-Pad has more hardware than that thing's packing, yet they are nothing more than paperweights to me because of Apple's gatekeeping philosophy.

>still stupid expensive

>this late to the party

>cheese graters

Tablets are cancer

>>1068374

Oh yeah and it starts smelling like burning plastic and gets warm in your hand from basic web browsing.

>Its more usable then an iPad guys!

You've never actually used an iPad

>>1068374

I have one of those Intel Atom Chinese tablets, and yeah. Total dog shit. Only useful for one thing - reading comics.

>Apple finally just making iOS on iPads Mac OS-Lite instead of iPhone OS-phat yeah I’m thinking they’re back.

Lol, they're not. They've just been keeping this stuff as an insurance. Think of it for a while. If they had added ale these features before, what would they add now? They just made their users get used to the fact mobile devices are nothing special, nerfed botnet without the ability to even search files, and now people say "Wow Apple is soooo innovative!". It's like putting someone into prison, then putting him into a box with only a toilet for 6 years, then get him out of this box, and he would say "I'm finally free". He'll be enjoying his new prison. No wonder they call cracking these devices a jailbreak.

>>1068395

This. Stockholm syndrome.

>>1068395

I don’t think anyone thought this was anything but what you described anon, from a business perspective it makes a lot of sense though and besides it gave Apple to iron out and polish the core of what makes iOS what it is

>>1068320 (OP)

that took them like 20 years.. others have always had such basic features

>>1068320 (OP)

So its as big as a laptop but not as powerful or capable, still closer to a phone in specs but much bigger so you need a bag to carry it around

JUST GET A LAPTOP FAGGOT

>>1068422

This

>>1068422

As a computer it is shit, but as a graphical tablet would probably work great , despite the fact you can't run GIMP or Krita on it.

>>1068468

>Tablets

>use cases

>

>no reason you can’t own both an iPad and a proper laptop

I like the phrasing: No reason you can't be an Apple fag and kill yourself.

>>1068492

>graphical tablet

graphics tablet, sorry anon, English is hard

sooo, how would actually a graphical tablet look like?

>>1068491

Okay retard

>>1068504

>>1068436

the make or break for a graphics tablet is pressure sensitivity and an actual stylus, so no they're not any better

I just wish I could watch webms on this fucking thing. The quantity of addons is lame, but if you wanna do it a native safari addon its also a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm not using Chrome because it sucks my macbook battery life like a whore.

<has a macbook

<would like to use (((Google))) Chrome

<complains about nonfree software sucking his battery like a whore

That's your problem dude, better sell that proprietary crap and install GNU/Linux on a device respecting your freedom.

>>1068320 (OP)

These are basic features from the early 00s. Is this why you need to complete a degree to be able to use their creative suite instead of just doing it with professional foss tools?

>>1068571

>Why isn't this mobile OS a desktop OS?

Wow so it can finally do things that an entry-level Surface or literally any laptop could do forever? Seriously, I don't understand you fags. If you're actually doing work with your devices (which requires the features you mentioned) there's literally no reason to use an iPad instead of a laptop.

>muh weight/portability

Ultrabook

>muh touchscreen

Surface

I am extremely tired of Apple shills. This is a 4/g/-tier post and you need to go back.
