I'd go buy an iPad tonight if Apple pushed an update that gave the iPad native Vulkan drivers. Then I could use the hardware to play real non-gatcha video games, accelerate ordinary inference servers or, gasp, develop complex software for ordinary non-Apple platforms. Alas, we've got to wait another 15 years before Apple gives up milking Monument Valley and microtransaction slop to consider our needs again.

It's so exhausting. I'm glad I left Apple's ecosystem instead of waiting for the iPad to consider my needs.
