You can enable battery percentage, already.
Settings > Battery, then turn on Battery Percentage

Going away would be nice. But dynamic island is way better than the notch. At least that section of the display is usable and functional now.

The iPad really does feel like it could replace your computer 95% of the time. It's that 5% where you run into one of its arbitrary limitations that reminds you of all it's lacking.

Similar situation. Luckily, my wife has not had issues with her versa but when it dies we’re definitely going to an Apple Watch or Garmin.

Make the dynamic island go away so we can have all screen. Then I may think about upgrading. Until then I'll live with the notch.

You obviously don't have an iPhone 14 Pro.

I was very pissed. I splurged on new tech, really enjoyed it. And they lost a customer for life. I had probably bought 8-10 fitbits over the years for me and my family. Never again, and I’ll shit talk them anytime I get the chance. I’m on year 3 or 4 of my Apple Watch, no issues at all.

No... A laptop with a touchpad (like my dell xps) lacks a lot of utility from the tablet form factor, particularly when it comes to media consumption or (for my workflow) when I use the ipad and pencil as a notepad. I don't want laptop with a touch pad, I want an Ipad I can use like a real computer when I need to do work.
I don't see why we can't just dual boot into ios or mac OS... They sell a super nice keyboard and if you pair that with a BT mouse, its a laptop. But Ios keeps it from being actually useful.
I get it... they want to make money on my twice, but its just ending up with a shitter total product, because now I need to carry around two devices.

They ended up sending me 5 in 2 years before I switched to Garmin.

I love how we're all just supposed to know wtf Dynamic Island is. I read the article and I'm still not sure.
Best guess: marketing fluff

Power has never been the issue. Even the old ipad air is plenty fast to act as a laptop replacement. Its the limitations imposed by ios, which, no matter how hard they try to advertise otherwise, just cannot replace a desktop experience.
I'm a lawyer, so my workflow is pretty simple... lots of emails, research in browser light office use, and adobe acrobat for PDFs. I made the mistake of going out of town for a few days and leaving my laptop at home, and ios was just a nightmare. I was able to scrape by, but it was unbelievable how much shittier the mobile version of everything was. I can't even put a simple jpeg in a signature block. Mobile MS Word couldn't properly load my letterhead without completely fucking up the margins, making it unreadable. Even the "Pro" version acrobat couldn't reorder pages. Just insanity.

I guess sweat was contacting something inside the watch and becoming corrosive. And Fitbit did not give one shit when I contacted them about it.

I remember my older Fitbit burning my wrist and I read it was something to do with sweat reacting with something inside the watch and becoming corrosive and every attempt to contact them was laughable at best.
