There were a lot of bugs in the system UI and the preinstalled apps. I had to enter the Apple/iCloud account credentials multiple times at different points before it stopped asking me to sign in again. I purchased one of the newer low-end iPads as another gift for someone else who didn’t use computers. I fell in love with macOS (back during Lion) shortly before getting my first MacBook and leaving Windows forever behind, never to return.įast forward to a month ago.
I was so impressed by how intuitive the device and OS was for them, that I installed macOS in a VM on Windows to try iOS development. I had never purchased an Apple product until about a decade ago, when I got the first Retina iPad as a gift for someone who didn’t use computers. The iPad was my gateway into the Apple orchard.
