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?

> for what exactly

For a simpler product for the majority of people.

They can't suit everyone! Are you annoyed you can't connect your iPad to your Amiga as well? They have a draw a reasonable line at some point.

But the "majority" of people in the US in fact have slow internet -- especially upload bandwidth.
