I can't imagine trying to do real work on an iPad. But, I guess there are people now that can't image the inverse?

I use it for real work, but it’s not the only device I use for work. However it fits a pretty specific work niche for me. With instant on and built in cellular with a Logitech folio case, it’s a hyper portable, yet comfortable to use fast and powerful device that allows me to do about 80% of work needs practically anywhere I can get a decent cellular signal. So for me if I need to be away from my desk for any reason, but stay connected its nearly like I am right in my office.

The best camera is the one you have, and the best computer is often the one you have.

I’ve been considering getting the folio, because I can no longer find the Magic Keyboard for my generation iPad (m1).

Kinda annoying that they don’t continue peripherals for their older devices

It's much more useful for artists than programmers.

It's too bad, I know a ton of devs who would buy one ASAP if Apple just allowed JIT in apps.

I love mine (typing on it now) for content consumption and social applications.

I wrote a programming book fully on my iPad, including the coding examples, often while traveling abroad.

But, I usually had it hooked up to a 60% keyboard and mouse, and I SSHd into an EC2 instance for the programming parts.

Still, pretty fun experience.

generally, I agree with you on this matter. However, I can see a real user case for this when texturing an object. In fact I believe that the Blender Foundation would be better of dedicating the entire app to this purpose. Currently, texture painting in Blender is a royal PITA. A dedicated iPad texturing app that seamlessly integrates to Blender would be a very exciting prospect.
