What sucks is that at some point iPad marketing and Apple aesthetic etc felt for me a bit as if it’s going in the direction of the

hype over digital libraries and good e-ink readers, or over learning programming among Apple fans

for real, and I think that’s intentional, just like with M1 and adopting a Unix-like OS and what not, and some series on Apple TV not being that stupid, they always tease you in subtle ways, never ultimately delivering.

Its center of mass is definitely on the douchebag side, but until you clearly see their every move and retrospect over 20 years or so, you are never sure.
