Apple has reportedly abandoned plans for a foldable "iPad Ultra" following years of disappointing sales performance for the iPad Pro. The claim predominantly comes from the Weibo leaker known as "Instant Digital," who posted the remark in response to a question about whether the iPad would join a rumored "Ultra" series of Apple devices.
How far did they think they could slice the iPad market? It’s always seemed more of a steady seller, not a massive hit.
I love my M4 iPad Pro, but I have to somewhat sheepishly admit it’s basically a wildly overpriced video streaming device for me now. I mean, video looks great, but still…iPadOS would need at least basic feature parity with macOS for me to put it to any real use. It doesn’t need to BE macOS, but iPadOS is far too awkward, at least for me, to use as a laptop replacement.
