>They've totally lost the plot with iPads IMO. It's a fantastic device to consume media, gaming, and some niche areas like drawing... but other than that

Every construction admin, supervisor, field inspection guy, etc. has a top of the line iPad Pro, in an Otterbox, with a kind of sling that helps you hold it with one hand, and an Apple Pencil, and they spend all day in Plangrid.

This setup has completely eaten the entire market.

And tons of artists spend their day with Procreate but those are still quite niche use cases.

Construction and illustration are hardly niche industries

Construction is not a niche industry although I would argue otherwise about illustration.

Anyway my previous point was not about those being niche industries but niche use cases as far as iPad users.
