Are you trying to manage large videos via the cloud with only a crummy WiFi connection shared with an entire school?

The problem is your WiFi then, not the iPad's design. It's intended to be used with a reasonable network connection.

So I’m sure every school system will get right on that.

As well as every cable ISP that even with their gigabit home internet service caps upload bandwidth at 35Mbps.

I know it's a problem! But I don't think it's Apple's job to forever hold back their development for people's very particular personal problems. You bog a product down by making sure you can handle all these issues. Keep it simple and move on, I say.

You're right, Apple shouldn't produce products that are actually usable for the vast amount of customers in the world as it exists today.

They should also abandon LTE and only produce devices that work with 5G.....

If you can't get reliable WiFi maybe the iPad isn't the product for you? I don't think that's an issue - there's loads of other products on the market and people who do want the clean Apple experience can get that. Why do all products have to do everything and suit the entire world's crazy workflows? You end up with a Homer Car.

And I am sure it makes perfect sense for Apple to seed the entire market of people who have cable internet access and slow WiFi for what exactly?
