You are correct, a lot of PC games are NOT available to Apple because of "freedom and stuff" along with lack of power/openness to modification of drivers by 3rd party (Cough *Nvidia* Cough) the corporate Cult.

Plugins for Photoshop/everything? (Requires more memory/storage space)

Open source?

Presets?

Storage space? (LOL)

3DMark is the gold standard, dealing with a cult follower or nervous shareholder here. Expandable memory?

Dedicated graphics card? The AMOUNT of Software/integration that rivals desktops/laptops? (Hint: A lot is very useful NON-proprietary stuff).

Final Cut Pro? (Throwing a bone to you Apple fan boys).

Is that software cued up for the maxi-pad yet? A lot of plugins for that that requires ever more memory/resources to use. Freedom? (LOL)

TERABYTES...again, TERABYTES...again TERABYTES...needing proprietary peripherals...needing proprietary peripherals...needing proprietary peripherals

I could go on and on....

Still ignoring facts such as those I enumerated . . . Several feature length films shot on iPhone and completed on iPads. . . But you stick with :

"Final Cut Pro?”

Those films were award winning. At least one garnered Academy Award nominations. . .

Storage Space? (LOL)

You did not bother to read a word I wrote, did you? I thought not. You are so certain in your absolute ignorance. . . You don’t even know what the connector on the new iPad Pro is, do you? 3DMark is the gold standard, dealing with a cult follower or nervous shareholder here. Expandable memory? . . .

Needing proprietary peripherals. . . Needing proprietary peripherals. . .

3DMark is useful to test only one specific area of function, rollo. . . and it doesn’t cover all devices or uses. It is hardly a universal goldstandardExcept for that one thing that mostly gamers care about. You look at tech reviews around the world and they almost universally use Geekbench to compare devices’ speed and performance and 3DMark only in the one area where it excels.

So then like all anti-Apple ideologues who don’t have facts, you resort to ad hominem attack to denigrate your opponent who does know what he is talking about. You obvious don’t.

What "proprietary peripherals" do you, in your Apple Derangement Syndrome, think are necessary to connect to WIFI, Bluetooth, or to USB-C devices? Please enlighten us.
