IPad can’t resize windows. It’s trash. All that power and can’t do anything with it. Not even have 3 windows on the screen in a usable fashion

As someone who LOVES my iPad and definitely thinks iPad is usually worth the money. I find it outrageous they only have a 64gb and then a 256gb model. It should honestly start at 128gb and then $100 more for 256gb. Ideally, I think this iPad should cost $500-550 since the iPad “base” is so much cheaper. The iPad Pro just seems too much for me and has features I don’t particularly care for. I know they market it this way on purpose, but I’m just gonna wait to see what the new iPad Pro looks like :/
