My fiancee has been looking for a mobile drawing computer. The only thing I could recommend until now was the Surface Book since Apple doesn't make anything mobile that could run the full Adobe suite. If you can sketch with the iPad Photoshop and there is sidecar support for Illustrator and the other apps, it might be a good deal.
One other thing, the icons have become smaller on my iPad Pro 10.5. Looking at it in landscape mode right now there is room for 5 rows of icons where I believe there used to be 4?
As a productivity device, the device is basically useless since app switching is annoyingly slow.
Everytime I read about greenpeace talking about how Apple's products are so terrible for the environment while saying nothing about android products I roll my eyes. Same thing with the fix it folks saying Apple's products are "unrepairable". There is a great market for both repair and reuse / re-sale in apple products. It's interesting comparing a 4 year old android tablet or phone (which was sometimes a year behind…
Huh? Greenpeace have had nothing but praise for Apple for at least the last three years.

It supports iPads with an A8 series chip, while iOS 13 does not support such iPhones (which would be a 5S). It's presumably because the iPads of the same CPU generation usually have more RAM, more CPU cores, more GPU cores.
It’s almost certainly memory. All the supported devices have at least 2GB RAM. The iPhone 6 had the A8 with 1GB RAM and is not supported by iOS 13. The iPad Air 2 has the A8X with 2GB RAM and is supported by iPadOS 13. In the past the break on unsupported older devices has been down to hardware. Usually memory, but also on the 64bit transition. I’m not aware of a single break in support that wasn’t determined by hard…
It's like the manual that Apple forgot. Case in point: you can swipe from the bottom-right corner of the screen with the Apple Pencil and it'll take a screenshot of the webpage and open it for marking up.
Extensive coverage of multitasking features, as well. There's definitely a learning curve with all these possibilities - split view, side view, copying and pasting, etc - so it makes sense to get comfortable with them now.

> Apple will never track or profile you when you sign in with Apple. The most information you’ll have to share with an app or website is your name and email address. …like that’s not too much.
it's not, because you can enter whichever (anonymous) name you want :) ...and the e-mail address can be anonymised too:

Unlikely, if it was a security update then iPhone5C should have received it as well. iPhone5C didn't receive 10.3.4 update because its GPS hardware supposedly was an updated one than the iPhone5. Also, Google Project Zero article(link in parent comment) gives the clear timeline of the attacks and that the exploits were updated to mitigate patches with every new OS updates; so even if 10.3.4 had security patches older…
What Android phone released in 2013 is still getting security updates of any kind? You make it seem like Google and the manufacturers all update their phones consistently.
In fact, I have a Nexus 7 (2013) nearby, so I know that firsthand.

It's meant to replace MacOS eventually
Once they give access to a terminal (even if it's sandboxed) and start letting developers port apps like vscode and sketch to iPadOS, there will be 0 barrier any more for me personally to making the leap.
