Those who attended Apple's rather unremarkable event yesterday may have heard Phil Schiller, Senior Vice President of Worldwide, in addition to the revelations of new products Marketing of Apple, to make two incredible statements.
According to Phil Schiller, users of the new iPad Pro with Windows PC will discover the "final replacement for PC" on the device, and it is sad that more than 600 million people over the age of five use computers. .
But let's look at what Phil Schiller has just said.
The iPad Pro, like any Android or Chrome OS tablet, can replace a PC under certain conditions, as it depends heavily on what the user is using.
For web browsing, media tracking, and light office or mobile games supported on tablets, it seems to be all that is needed, and then we can talk well about replacement.
But an iPad Pro isn't capable of doing many specialized tasks that even a cheap Windows laptop can do. For developing applications, websites, 3D models or video, you will quickly realize that the tablet is not suitable or able to be used for everything.
Then there are games that some people want to play and do not find them, as there is a huge difference between the available games for iOS and Windows. Let's say you can not play games like The Division, World of Warcraft or Call of Duty on an iPad, and that's probably not going to change soon.
Let's talk about the peripherals that are available for Windows PCs and the Apple iPad. Multi-monitor settings, external storage media (extremely limited for the iPad), or a simple mouse on the computer.
Last but not least, Windows PCs give users more freedom with what they can do with the system. They don't restrict users to installing apps from a store that Apple has full control over, and users can make modifications to the operating system or apps.letterthe ones running on it. These options do not exist on iOS unless the device is jailbroken.
In desktop systems, it's easy to upgrade specific hardware, such as computer memory or graphics card, which can extend the device's life for several years.
Not Apple, it is a long way from creating a portable device that will replace PCs at PC costs.
It is sad to use more than 600 millions of people computers that are over five years old
For one company trying to win over PC users, the public statement "it's sad that 600 million people are still using computers that are over five years old" is not the best strategy.
First of all, old does not necessarily mean insufficient.
Using a five-year computer if it allows you to do what you wish to do is fine.
There are many reasons why some people run systems that are five years old and older, and perhaps they are quite obvious: lack of money is one of them, and Mr. Phil Schiller (who represented Apple) without thinking that he "hit" a very sensitive string of the buying public who do not have the money to change the system every year.
Apple is obviously interested in launching new devices every year, but it can not "pity" publicly users of older systems. Advances in mobile technology have really opened the door to the constant availability of new devices with better processing, graphics cards, new features, fingerprint readers, better screens, less battery usage and much more.
On computers, however, no annual upgrades are needed unless you are a gamer or demand the greatest amount of processing power available. Even then, it's enough to upgrade parts of your system instead of buying a new machine.
