\nSung to the tune of \u2018Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,\u2019 the little girl in the ad sings: \u201cGrandma, don\u2019t run out and buy an iPad. It was fine when I was six, but now I\u2019m 10. My dreams are a big so I need a real computer.\u201d
Apple, of course, objects to iPads being classed as little more than media consumption devices, especially its new iPad Pro range, which comes with the blistering fast A12X processor and swaps out the lightning port for USB Type-C. In the company\u2019s most recent ad, it promotes the slates\u2019 ability to handle tasks traditionally carried out by laptops and desktops, such as photo\/video editing and using it as a music studio.
Microsoft loves to call out Apple over its attempts to get people to believe the iPad is a computer. And because of their limitations and the use of iOS, many people agree with the Windows maker.
Ultimately, this could all be considered a matter of semantics. A phone, smartwatch, and many other devices, including the iPad are essentially computers, but Apple is trying to suggest its tablets are laptop replacements. While the Pro models are getting closer to that definition, they\u2019re not quite there yet\u2014though they certainly have price parity.<\/p>\n
