I have an old 11-inch iPad Pro. The first one with Face ID, I think. For me it's a single-tasking content consumption device, and one I usually use hours every day and can't see going without. But to actually get something done on it is a bit like leading a cow up a spiral staircase. I'm sure it can be done, but there are probably easier things in the world. File management is still mostly a pain, etc. Over the years I have collected productivity apps like Microsoft Office and the Affinity suite, but trying to use them feels forced and unnatural. The multitasking view, whatever it's called, that came out a few years ago got an "ew." reaction from me when I tried it once.
But, over the last 35 years or however long it's been since I started using computers with Windows 3.1, less knowledgeable people have been using words like "I've got that text saved in Microsoft Word". I get the itches whenever someone says something like this, because no, you haven't saved it "in Word", you've saved a Word file on your hard drive. Because these people open Word, click the Open icon and find their document which they think is stored inside word because the Word Open dialog defaults to the Documents folder with the filter to show .docx only. They don't know what a file or a hard drive even is. And the iPad (and iOS) caters to them.
The other day I also saw someone posting pictures of their house renovations in a facebook group. These were screenshots of the gallery app on iPhone. No idea why but I guess someone learned how to do something their own way. It's not the first time either. And at least it wasn't a picture of a scratched 7 year old smartphone screen.
