Yattee for iPad/iPhone is available in the app store for YouTube with blocks, it uses the Invidious API. The Photos app will use it to detect duplicate photos with different resolutions. The local Neural Engine is also underutilized, hopefully Apple will announce new use cases at WWDC next month. Until then, a sidekick Linux SBC is needed. The #1 missing capability is a hypervisor for running Linux VMs, e.g. MiniLED display (dark blacks) on the 12.9 is good for video. M2 iPad Pro in Lockdown mode has strong security protections. I don’t know if I’ll be able to justify buying another one when I give up on this one… but probably will. That and the price are the only downside. My current one has a crack in the screen that makes it annoying to type on, but I’m limping along - it still works for most stuff. I’ll say, I’ve replaced the screens of these mega tabs probably like 6 times it feels like (I always had apple care or insurance replace it, though). Obviously, all that stuff a phone or normal sized tablet can do. I love it for traveling - it’s insane for plane rides (offline YouTube, podcasts, tons of storage for offline books, etc). I personally never use my phone when I’m in the house - I always carry around my iPad Pro. Light laptops are fine but are awkward, have way worse battery life, and are still much heavier. Well, there is… normal 10-11” tablets can do all of that… just a little smaller… the Surface is also good for this, but it’s heavier. I know it’s a ridiculous thing for the price, but I just love consuming content with it - browsing the internet, watching YouTube videos, reading books (Libby, Google Play Books), hand-writing notes (Evernote), occasional drawing (Adobe Fresco), etc… there’s nothing like it. Like, I started with the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro (which was awesome but also… buggy as hell)… switched to iPad Pro (which has largely been awesome). I have always been a fan of mega-tablets even though they’ve been poorly supported and buggy (maybe I’m a sadist).
