Apple Creating Giant iPad - Dismas - 06-30-2021

Probably the gimmickiest thing Apple has made so far. At 16 inches wide, it's bigger than many laptops.

Quote:

There's speculation that the giant iPad could measure up to 16 inches across to give it a screen as big as one of Apple's MacBook laptops.

That would make the gadget as wide as the wheel of a car – far larger than the 11-inch and 12.9-inch displays offered by the current iPad Pro.

Trusted Apple leaker and Bloomberg journalist Mark Gruman revealed the nascent plans in a newsletter published on Sunday.

"I'm told that Apple has engineers and designers exploring larger iPads that could hit stores a couple of years down the road at the earliest," he wrote.

I can not see this being taken seriously. If they offered a separate keyboard that could attach like other popular laptops/tablets , it could possibly work.

It defeats Its purpose of portability, particularly when wanting to travel with a device that's light and compact.

Given Its size, I'd rather purchase a laptop.

The 12.9" is already almost unwieldy. Does anyone actually want this? Maybe artists...

hmm. i like very much. There are laptops that u can split into keyboard and display and this is the same. Maybe this will be the future. Apple always knew what will be the next big thing.

I forget whose advert it is (probably google) but their advert for a shitty chromebook-style laptop says in the ad something to the effect of "people wish laptops were more like phones". Um. No I really fucking don't. Quite the literal opposite my friend.

I think its kind of funny tbh, maybe some people will find it useful,
but I cant see this as something that will break through and become a 'thing' unfortunately Smile

I felt the same about tablets.. How wrong I was xD

Then again, I thought about it from a personal point of view, and not that of those with kids.

yeah, I mean, this may become something that lots of people want, maybe someone will love having a big ipad,
but in that case, I think the audience will be less wide, and its not going to reach a wider audience. Smile

I think you're right. Although, I can imagine those fancy beds with TVs that rise up out of the end panel.. being replaced with a giant iPad. xD
