iPad still _is_ pretty useless, unless you opt for the "pro" models which let you do some productivity work on them. otherwise it's just suitable for
consuming
content.

Not useless for what feels like every child in the US under age 12

Useful for shutting them up and feeding them addictive trash media you mean.

Children in the US under age 12 don't do productivity work on the iPad. Steve Jobs didn't make the iPad as a kids toy.

So a product that sells 500,000,000 units is not successful because the previous CEO who died 14 years ago would want it to not be a toy?
Got it.

I've been using the iPad OS 26 betas and it does dramatically improve the viability of the iPad 9 I have.

Well we can have LLMs do all the work so consuming content is the only role left for us.
