I'd love to see iPads become more versatile. The iPad Pro seems like a pretty nice device, particularly because of the high refresh rate screen. But it's very heavily consumption and illustration oriented. My iPad 3 has been passable since it was new, with some degradation in performance, but I haven't found a more interesting use for it besides YouTube and Pocket. I imagine that it could be a great device for interactive systems or 3D modelling, but I'd really be trying to justify the purchase at that point. I do also agree that the fingerprint sensor is a nice addition, but along with it they made it almost impossible to recover data in the event of catastrophic failure.
Yeah, absolutely. IOS is very restrictive in terms of what you can achieve on it as a developer or a power user. But it's an amazing device for artists and content creators. Packs enough CPU power for their needs. My wife has been considering buying one for illustrations etc. Now with the new iPad Air supporting Pencil 2, the choices are even more confusing. She is torn between getting the pro or the new Air.
