iPad is so easy to use, why doesn’t it have a computer?
It has been 13 years since the iPad was launched on April 3, 2010. The iPad series has reached iPad 10, and the entire iPad product line has also added iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini. A few days ago, we also shared with you how to choose Which iPad is suitable for you, but what we want to share here is:It turns out that the iPad, which has such a long history and is so easy to use, does not have a built-in computer!？
It turns out that the reason is simple but not simple at all. The story begins one month before the first-generation iPad is about to be released. Apple’s legendary figure and former CEO Mr. Jobs noticed that the computer interface on the iPad was actually the direct interface of the iPhone. Computer ported to iPad! Mr. Jobs has always been known for paying attention to every detail and user experience, so he was not surprised to express “unacceptable” to such a simple and crude method of direct migration, and gave Scott Forstall, the lead iPad developer at the time, two options: “Either redesign a new iPad computer interface, or don’t add computer applications!”
However, because there were only a few weeks left before the release date of the iPad, the developers were still unable to design a computer interface that satisfied Mr. Jobs before the release, which unexpectedly led to the current situation of the iPad without a computer.
Although Mr. Jobs has passed away, because the iPad computer application design project has been delayed for so many years, in addition to many computer applications developed by third parties on the App Store, users can also choose directly through Siri, safari, search, etc. are used to perform calculations, which leads to the iPad’s unexpected and interesting tradition of “no built-in computer”!
