    All iPads Is the iPad dying?

    I think the iPad is lost between the iPhone (mobility+power) and the new Macs (real pro apps, usability and productivity). If Apple launch a MacBook Pro with 5G, Catalyst may be the salvation for the iPad app developers. https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ I use iPad as a big clock.
