The iPad’s “Sweet” Solution
- Some of the best apps with desktop-class layouts and experiences on iPad are web apps rather than native iPad apps, due to cost-saving measures, App Store policies, and young coders turning to the web for projects.
- Tech companies prioritize 'build once, ship everywhere' strategies with web apps for cross-platform accessibility, leading to web versions often being more feature-rich than native iPad apps.
- Apple's App Store policies, iPadOS limitations, and lack of native, modern iPad apps from popular services contribute to the dominance of web apps over iPad-specific apps.
- The rise of web apps is not limited to iPadOS but also prevalent on desktop platforms, with the Mac ecosystem still showing a vibrant indie app market compared to the iPad.
- Web apps offer superior multitasking and experiences on visionOS compared to iPadOS, highlighting the limitations and lack of optimization for the iPad.
- Examples like Todoist, Readwise Reader, and Shortwave demonstrate the significant differences in features, usability, and experience between their iPad and web versions.
- Developers struggle with prioritizing native iPad app development due to limited resources, Apple's policies, and the overall appeal and reach of web apps and cross-platform services.
- The decline of groundbreaking native iPad apps is attributed to Apple's choices, and despite some exceptional indie apps, the overall iPad app ecosystem lacks innovation and standout applications.
- The author questions the value of investing in an iPad for productivity when relying heavily on web apps and cross-platform services, suggesting that a Mac might be a more suitable choice for many professional users.
- The future of iPadOS and its competitiveness in the productivity space remains uncertain, leading to doubts about the platform's evolution and effectiveness for non-artistic, professional users.
- The shift towards web apps over native iPad apps raises concerns about the iPad's role as a productivity device and its ability to meet the needs of a diverse user base in the evolving technological landscape.
