As I sit here, typing this reply on my iPad, I can't think of anything else I really want from it that it doesn't already do. The typing is good enough (for me) on either the on-screen keyboard or an attached keyboard. The pencil is fun, even though I'm terrible at drawing. There's a bunch of fun apps that all look great.
I suppose I'm glad they're still trying to improve things, I just can't imagine what else they could possibly do.
Especially because they're really trying not to cannabalize the MacBook line by adding desktop features, so the hardware is now way overpowered on the M1/M2 versions.
Yeah there are definitely lots of times I’m doing something on it and wish I had a desktop app version of whatever I’m trying to do (looking at you Codespaces, although that’s a terrible example). I get it from a late-stage capitalism perspective, but that doesn’t make it less annoying.

Is "new device release fatigue" a real thing?
