8 days ago you would never buy a gimmicky device. Now a screen facehugger (which does even less than an iPad and is useful in even fewer situations) is the best thing you ever bought?
I don’t use my iPad much…or didn’t, until I had a toddler and long car rides. I either used my phone or my PC, or a projector for movies. The iPad didn’t really fit in there.
I use my Quest 3 often. I can see why someone would have his opinion.
I already have an Android phone. What does the iPad do that my Android phone can't? Seriously, I have $300, I'll go buy one right now if you make a solid argument.
There are plenty of things my Quest does that an iPad and phone both can't do. Yes it's a toy, but it's a toy I get great mileage out of flying the F/A-18 in Microsoft Flight Simulator on a world tour. For $400, that's a steal. I've got telemetry disabled and it all runs great on my Linux box.
I'm not going to go buy a tablet to play HD Plants Versus Zombies for the 400th time. Sorry.
