Thank you for your wonderful video, I found it very informative and the content high quality. I use my IPad for a lot of things especially for creative Vector drawing and art, photography, and a digital planner and business purposes too, I use it as much as my desktop, my only complaint is the file system, which can be crazy because you have to download a zip app but sometimes it doesn’t solve the issues of opening the files so that you can use them. So, I still have apps on my computer in case I need to finish the projects. But I am happy with my IPad purchase.
My wife and I do use our iPads for most day to day functions. I can’t, for example, use an iPad to backup my Blu-ray Discs to place on a hard drive to use in our media room, using MakeMKV and Handbrake. Too esoteric, you say? Try searching for an item, in the generic sense, like a TV in the Amazon app; if you’re not searching for a specific item you are missing out on a huge portion of the population of that item. The Amazon app is fine for ordering, it stinks for shopping. Many websites don’t play well with the iPad at the shopping cart/checkout level. You know it. You’ve experienced this with your phone, right? Every few weeks my wife will give me the old, “Oh, no! I can’t check out!” And then I remind her to go to the iMac to make her purchase. There are many more limitations but we have to give up some things for the convenience and portability the iPad allows us to have. I’m no longer chained to the desk to read/write email, Message, check baseball scores, even watch a game with the MLB app. Or watch a CZcams video about iPads. I like it for what it does and don’t rant and rave about what it can’t do. I save my energy to rant and rave about stuff inside the various Mac OS’s that just wouldn’t be happening if Steve Jobs hadn’t died and left us with Tim Cook, who I’m sure is great at counting beans. Is there even a Human Interface Group anymore?
By now you know IOS 13 has made many of the improvements you've been hoping for. After a 6 year break, I'm getting back into photography for the third time in my life, but this time I'm only going to shoot with a small Canon GX7 II. I just can't lug the big gear around any more. I discovered the computer monitor I have now is not good enough quality to do post work on photos. However, my new 2019 iPad is. Looking around for an editing app, I discovered Lightroom Mobile (free version) and did some tests. It does a great job. The only thing I miss is it won't allow me to do selective sharpening, but the app seems to have some good intelligent sharpening built in, so I'm hoping it won't be an issue. If it is, I may have to spend some money for a Photoshop subscription. I don't think the subscription version of Lightroom offers selective sharpening, but maybe I'm wrong about that. If you told me, a year ago, my best option for photo editing would be an iPad I would have laughed and dismissed you.
Agree about the iPad. Along those lines I sometimes have to use a client's computer to quickly get something up to the web. All he has is Photos (Mac)... surprisingly, when that is all that you have you can make it work.
great

I hope that some of your problems are resolved with iOS 13.

My tablet has replaced it for 90 percent of my work
It is amazing how powerful tablets have become.
