The iPad Changed Everything
→ Check out Paperlike: paperlike.com/thisise/2603
Apple turns 50 this year. Most people say the Mac or the iPhone defines the company. I think it's the iPad — a product that conquered every industry it entered yet never fully answered the question of what it's for. From Steve Jobs sitting in a leather armchair in 2010 calling it "magical," to 71 million units a year, to a decline nobody saw coming, to the Apple Pencil rewriting its identity — the iPad might be the most honest reflection of how our relationship with technology actually played out. This is that story.
