Of course the first iPhone was unusable for me -- I never bought it!

As I've been saying, default Apple software as a rule is awful; iOS devices without advanced 3rd-party apps would not be an option for me.
As to tablets, which is what we were talking about, I insist on my original statement: iPad 1 was a productivity device for me from Day 1 when it first went on sale in Europe in 2010 when I bought it. The apps "universe" was already well developed in those days.  |
How many hours per day do you use your iPad as a "productivity tool"?
I'm not talking about showing some presentation on it. This can be done on every tablet.
I'm talking about building presentations, manipulating huge Excel files, managing mass emails or whatever you need in your line of work.
I'm using my Surface Pro maybe 5 hours per day that way.
Before Surface Pro, I've done it all on my MacBook Air.
Re. "ancient history": Okay, recent example then (although I find it totally relevant, using that history. I haven'g got the time [time = money], to test each new generation, whether they finally fixed some issue):
Maybe I've missed it. But I never could make my onscreen keyboard in iOS learn. It still, after almost 6 years, doesn't recognize my email address and the likes.
In Swype, after the very first time I enter it, it's done. And in the last version, Swype even synchronizes my dictionary on all my devices using it. I start a new unit with a dictionary built over the last 2 years...
