Does the iPad make sense as a computer now?

At WWDC 2019, Apple introduced iPadOS, which has all-new ways to interact with this tablet computer. There are new window options, gestures, and a whole new interaction language. In this episode of Processor, Dieter Bohn nerds out on the idea that UI has a grammar and the iPad’s interface might not be as intuitive as it used to be.

  4. vignesh padmanabhan on March 21, 2020 at 2:05 pm

    Awesome video 👍



  5. Zlyer on March 21, 2020 at 2:06 pm

    I don’t really want it to. Now uncover won’t work.



  6. KAY DE on March 21, 2020 at 2:08 pm

    Just get to the tablet already T.T



  7. MoveOutMedia on March 21, 2020 at 2:09 pm

    When is iPad os coming out?



  8. tsuguminxken on March 21, 2020 at 2:09 pm

    Don’t even know there were new gesture



  9. Jayme Nelson on March 21, 2020 at 2:10 pm

    I love this type of video! All of Dieter’s content is great, and it is really cool to see his English expertise relate to tech. Keep this stuff coming!



  10. Jonathan Patterson on March 21, 2020 at 2:13 pm

    Learning how to use all these different gestures is tiresome … is this what it feels like to get older??



  11. AndroidApps on March 21, 2020 at 2:13 pm

    genius way to explain gestures!



  12. Adam Macias on March 21, 2020 at 2:14 pm

    I think people are making this harder than it should because they weren’t self aware enough to know the functionality of the product they’re buying. An iPad was never meant to be a laptop or a desktop.

    Like



  14. Oluwasayo Babalola on March 21, 2020 at 2:15 pm

    Love the way you spliced the earlier complaints and the keynote together 😂😂 👌



  15. Stefan Wolfrum on March 21, 2020 at 2:17 pm

    All nice, Dieter. But where‘s the answer to the question in the title of the video? Does the iPad Pro with iPadOS make sense as a computer now?



  16. Grant Briggs on March 21, 2020 at 2:21 pm

    Agreed… I’m already starting to be overwhelmed with gestures and accidentally doing something…. It’s extremely heightened when trying to teach my parents how to use an iPad… Wasn’t too bad with an early generation iOS device… Now…. Omg… So difficult!!



  17. burak esin on March 21, 2020 at 2:21 pm

    we want 1440p



  18. Artemis Wynk on March 21, 2020 at 2:23 pm

    you should let this guy use his grammar degree more



  19. Conor Early on March 21, 2020 at 2:25 pm

    What Apple Watch band is Dieter wearing??



  20. FLBT on March 21, 2020 at 2:26 pm

    this is just such good content. I’ve come back to watch it a second time now.



  21. ChuckNorrisSuperhero on March 21, 2020 at 2:27 pm

    I am using customizable gestures on the MacBook for years with BetterTouchTool 😉
    If you select intuitive gestures, you get used to it unbelievabely fast and improve your work productivity easiely.
    Looking forward to even more gestures!



  22. Mugurel Teodor Andrici on March 21, 2020 at 2:27 pm

    Now Microsoft Office for the Apple Watch.



  23. Stacey M on March 21, 2020 at 2:28 pm

    good stuff.



  24. Yzmind7 on March 21, 2020 at 2:29 pm

    Great explanations
    on grammer and code .



  25. Jim Barron on March 21, 2020 at 2:31 pm

    Will It be able to read my video files transferred by my Sony A600 Camera?



  26. MobileDecay on March 21, 2020 at 2:32 pm

    Enjoy the gimped Android features from years ago and stuff.



  27. deezombiedude612 on March 21, 2020 at 2:33 pm

    I would seriously like to hear more about that explanation on grammar, it’s super interesting



  28. Isaac mondragon on March 21, 2020 at 2:33 pm

    Very deep topic!



  29. Paul Lee on March 21, 2020 at 2:34 pm

    Wait and see the IpadOS. IPad can replace the laptop? Yes, apple can do it but do they wanna the macbook’s revenue in the future? My Macbook Air (old) is very good but I wanna the jestures/ pen which make the notes more easy and happy. Well, wait & see and still love my Macbook Air.



  30. Zachy Cruz on March 21, 2020 at 2:34 pm

    I was about to roast his nerdy language thing but then I saw the other comments



  31. Bru - uh on March 21, 2020 at 2:34 pm

    Ugh no



  32. Dawson Price on March 21, 2020 at 2:36 pm

    You made some really good points in this video. I loved it. I don’t know if I agree with everything you said, but I understood all of it. I really learned a lot; especially in the grammar part.



  33. Martin Taylor on March 21, 2020 at 2:39 pm

    More the fool you for thinking the iPad can replace a computer.



  34. Daniel Urry on March 21, 2020 at 2:39 pm

    YES!



  35. BRTGZ Noob on March 21, 2020 at 2:41 pm

    I hope ipados provide terminal with full feature like mac os terminal or at least for the iPad Pro an IDE is provided for javascript programming or something like that



  36. GINK0SAN on March 21, 2020 at 2:41 pm

    Its just me, or an Ipad pro with windows 10 would be just perfect?



  37. Alex Bogo on March 21, 2020 at 2:43 pm

    Awesome update. But still not replace the computer



  38. Kamil Studios on March 21, 2020 at 2:43 pm

    Awesome video from Dieter Bohn as always!



  39. Josh on March 21, 2020 at 2:44 pm

    That thumbnail triggers my OCD.



  40. Randen Montalvo on March 21, 2020 at 2:46 pm

    I have a nearly 3k MBP and i prefer to use my new iPad Pro for just about everything. The power is just incredible the multiple form factors allow a better fit in my hectic lifestyle. From running a business to editing , drawing and many aspects of productivity; where at a point where the iPad Pro is simply limited by software not anything else. With IOS13 besides coding my MBP was an investment that didnt really pay off. I cannot say that about my iPad Pro which is just a better companion for a busy lifestyle. LTE is also a huge factor along with its power.



  41. Geddy V on March 21, 2020 at 2:47 pm

    Great content, the comparison to grammar was perfect.



  42. Guvie Bain on March 21, 2020 at 2:48 pm

    Hi just got my ipad pro— I appreciate your head’s up with learning the finger gestures—-Ill take the time to learn them! I can tell Ill be using my ipad pro instead of my lap!



  43. Stephen Scott on March 21, 2020 at 2:49 pm

    2,3,4 fingers. Many uses. 😏✌️



  44. Brandon Tea on March 21, 2020 at 2:49 pm

    After… some time using iOS13, on iPhone 6s, the gesture is very intuitive.



  45. Felipe Guaragna Schorn on March 21, 2020 at 2:49 pm

    Maybe is intentional, because Apple is writing its own history now since they don’t considerate the tendency of skeuomorphism design anymore and, actually, nowadays they can write, and design, their own visual language. I’m not sure if I should be happy or terrified of thinking about this…



  46. Farnhamification on March 21, 2020 at 2:51 pm

    Is ipad os compatible with Logitech’s flow technology?



  47. Oluwasayo Babalola on March 21, 2020 at 2:52 pm

    And the grammar analogy!!! My man ✅ ✅ ✅



  48. Ahmad Komirea on March 21, 2020 at 2:52 pm

    I am a linguist, but I’m also training to become an app developer. I thought the language part in the video was very interesting. Can you make a specific video to elaborate on this part?



  49. Hunter Tabz on March 21, 2020 at 2:57 pm

    No one:
    Really no one:
    Me: Why does no one cares about tvOS?!



  50. hanque1 on March 21, 2020 at 3:02 pm

    Love your reviews/analysis. Definitely more of a learning curve. You are spot on. Reminds me of first learning how to use a Palm Pilot.
