Ask HN: Do you still use your Ipad or Ipad mini?

Posted by gamechangr on Wednesday May 06, 2015 @06:02PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've noticed that I use:

1) My Mac Pro less than before

2) My Mac Air more than before

3) My Ipad -- way less than before

4) My Ipad mini - a little less than before

And use of my phone has increased.

Am I the only one or are you noticing a difference in what you prefer?

I used to carry my iPad around but as my phone got bigger (HTC Amaze at 4.3" to Note 4 at 5.7"), tablet use went down as phone use went up. About 6 weeks ago, however, I replaced my laptop with a Surface Pro 3, so tablet use has gone back up, though I use it with the keyboard attached 95% of the time.

EDIT: my iPad 1 is now a monitor for our security cameras at home...it is more stable than the android version And has gone for a solid year without crashing. The android one crashes a few times a day.

I used to use my Nexus 7 about 75% of the time, with my (very small) Droid Mini and (very dated, barely usable) Lenovo splitting the remaining 25%.

I recently got a new MBP, and my usage patterns for all for the devices have changed. Now I'm about 33%, all the way around.

What? You don't have an apple watch?!

Nope.

I sure didn't mean that to come across like I had everything.

I think the Iwatch is too new to know if there is a deviation from the way you "used to use it".

Funny though :)

Do you use your Ipad less?
