No, they obviously didn't. There are 1000s of videos complaining about the SAME exact things. (I know this might be partially a joke but - let's be honest - only partially.)
I have a UX, UI and Web Design Background. The Grammar portion of this video is dead on. UI is extremely important and needs to convey a lot. I'm glad you highlighted what people "think" intuitive means vs what it actually means as well. Well done.
Indeed. I’m worried about the affordance of all these convenient features. My father is seventy-something and the main thing he sure knows is that clicking the home button brings back the home screen... but more and more some features are becoming « invisible » hidden behind a not tangible gesture that he hasn’t learn (not having the need to use it so often) or not coming to his mind because it’s now hidden for slickness purpose... but I guess the capabilities he’s loosing with iOS getting mature is compensated with being able to « wire » a mouse to his tactile tablet... strange times...

Dieter you continue to do great work, I look forward to seeing your videos pop in my feed and they're nearly always an instant watch!
That grammar thing made a LOT of sense and I'd LOVE an entire video series on stuff like that. That visual and analogy REALLY helps put the idea of "flexibility" in pertaining to mathematics, spoken language, and computer assets like user interface and code, into perspective.
I survived with an iPad Pro during my Fall semester with ease. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro now and I'm in love but IPads just got way more powerful and seamless
I legitimately listened to the part of language on a spectrum level analogy. It was really interesting! Would love to have someone have an in - depth discussion of it.
4:40 the METHODS of a program must correspond with its INTERFACE for communicating with its users. I have an MA in English (comparative British/French Lit) from 1981 and learned to program both FORTAN and COBOL on an IMB Mainframe as undergraduate electives. I found it impossible to study "grammar" as an Engiish Major of the 1970s; Linguistics was generally based on Noam Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (where "syntax" was understood to be the formal component with "semantics" of meaning. That's where the DOD grants were being awarded. This was the "cognitive" branch of Psychology in those days; the alternative was "structural" Linguistics which referred to BF Skinner's Beyond Freedom and Dignity. The difference was allegedly based on how Descartes differs from Locke in Philosophy (I minored in Philosophy) by professors who had actually read neither one. A recruiter from IMB told me in 1980 that it was no problem that my major was in English rather than Math or Business (there was no Computer Science department at SDSU in those days) since they only wanted to know you could handle the "discipline" of becoming a true scientist. But I wouldn't be able to work on developing compilers based on transformational grammar, the scheme of generative Linguistics without a PhD in Electrical Engineering. Get the picture? Where does your normal PhD in Electrical Engineering learn to structure a paragraph?
I didn’t know where you were going to go with the grammar thing, but you explained it and broke it all down exceptionally well in that one minute time frame.
Windows 8 was great, nobody bothered to install 3rd party software to get rid of the in-your-face start menu.. that was basically the only problem people had with Windows 8... and the complaints now about windows 10 is basically that they shove updates down your throat, reboot your computer at will no matter what work you have open.
Videos like this one reinforce my faith in humanity. Looking at technology using a Linguistic lens is really ingenious. Way to go, Deitor! We need more of these videos in the world.
I watch the verge only because the person who talking in the video makes it very easy to understand and really well explained in both ways for normal consumer and pro users. Although liked the grammar theory which is not so common but make it sense and very easy to understand.
That Grammar and languages metaphor surely deserves more than 1 minute. Would love a separate video just for that, possibly comparing it between multiple devices? Anyway, really cool video!
Great video guys. Love the insight here. So tired of folks listing out specs and features rather then taking the extra time to dive into how this affects user behavior.
Honestly most of these verge videos come off as someone from the rigid tech language world trying their best to speak the natural flexible language but I think you do a great job of breaking down why it’s important to know the difference. Good job.
Your video makes perfect sense. The fact that more time passes by and less gestures are added/changed over the years would make things intuitive in an iPad.
If we keep asking for a classic desktop environment, what’s the point of using an iPad? At some point one has to choose between learning the new paradigm or keep using the old one.
always this arguement, you can have a more custom environment like a desktop or you can customize it like an ipad. You can have mouse support like a laptop or use it without like ipad. You can have a keyboard like a laptop or use it only as a tablet. With options and choices you can have a more powerful and useful device or use it a simple as you want. I don't understand people who want less features and options for their money. You've already paid for the hardware, make the OS as powerful and useful as possible
Some things are better done in a desktop UI. Some things in a mobile UI. If you're using a device while standing on a train surfing the net you will use it very differently from when you're sitting at a desk working in Excel. Windows tablets let you choose. Choose a mobile UI (that Apple have been copying for years, from multitasking to mouse support) for easy and fast touch use or choose the full familiar desktop UI for working at a desk. Or switch between the two. Or use the desktop UI while on the bus or the mobile UI at your desk. Whatever you prefer and whatever suits what you are doing. So why do you have to choose when you can have both? Millions of people drive cars and millions of people ride bikes. No one is saying we should only have one, and millions of people happily switch from one to the other when it suits them.
It'd be cool if iPadOS somehow non-intrusively showed reminders of the gestures when you do it the slow way. That would make it analogous to showing the keyboard shortcuts in the menu. But I can't imagine how it could do that non-intrusively.
Bert Huang I was having this discussion with my uncle with regards to 3D Touch on iPhone. Something like the tips app that gives you a little notification “did you know that you could do this?” And then be able to configure tips app notifications from the same notification so that you don’t have to be bothered by it again should you wish.
Unless you don't have a laptop I would suggest dropping the keyboard. Terrible piece of junk. Coming from someone who has iPad pro with pencil and keyboard. I also have a MacBook pro. If you're a student, I highly recommend the Surface Pro. I have had the Surface Pro 4 and it was one of the best purchases for school I have made. I've had/have the Surface Pro 4, Surface Book 2, MacBook Pro 2018, iPad Pro 10.5. For school, Surface Pro is best as a 2-in-1.
5:15 - Perhaps this is the dawn of a future nursery rhyme? "One little piggy lets you do stuff. Two little piggies to select. Three little piggies let you edit your work. And four little piggies take you home."
I'm very tech savvy, but I know all these new gestures will be a pain in the arse to learn. Grandma will never be able to use them unless someone teaches her.
I agree with your point and you've presented it perfectly. But I guess it's also worth mentioning the iPad has been around for almost 10 years now. Although these new gestures had just been introduced, there's a background knowledge from all these years ago that *supposedly* will make it easier for eveyone who's familiar with the iPad gestures to learn all this new stuff. But anyway, great vídeo as always.

I personally think that the grammar metaphor was spot on, it taught me not only about where the iPad's gesture fall in terms of intuitiveness, but it also gave me a new perspective on languages 😄. Great👍

I can't believe you managed all that in 1 minute, and umm 3 seconds. (I learned more in this video than I bargained for, thank you).

Absolutely. Complicated gestures for most people are well complicated. That and a gesture just isn't quicker than single pressing a button often.

Except it wasn't a review.
This could be your best video ever. Great job guys 💪🏼
The OS running on the iPad is slowly becoming what Windows 8 (not for desktops obviously) should have been seven years ago
But refrigerator toaster
I totally agree. When I reviewed the surface pro, windows was the only thing which was terrible on it.
Windows 8 was great, nobody bothered to install 3rd party software to get rid of the in-your-face start menu.. that was basically the only problem people had with Windows 8... and the complaints now about windows 10 is basically that they shove updates down your throat, reboot your computer at will no matter what work you have open.

Phenomenal video. Anything Dieter puts out is gold, especially the “iPad as your computer” stuff! Love it!

Another thoughtful review by Dieter. Always entertaining and informative listening to your musings on all things tech...
The title of this video makes no sense. The iPad has always made sense as a computer. The real question should be, "Can it replace a laptop or desktop computer now?"
The Verge makes the best review videos on the internet. There is no doubt about that.
I screamed when they announced the iPadOS
Dieter is such a brilliant presenter. So engaging and funny, whilst being informative.
It shows. When they had difficulties during the demo.
Your 65-second language explanation was my favorite part of the video. It was so cool to learn

I really want Dieter to nerd around more with his linguistic knowledge now!
It was said once , it'll be said again . If you replaced your laptop with an Ipad , you never needed the laptop in the first place .
And probably it sounded just as wrong for the first time as it sounds now.
Awesome video from Dieter Bohn as always!
Was waiting for this video. The verge is obsessed with the iPad.
Because it has the potential to be huge.
Came here for a tech review, got a grammar lesson. Well done Dieter!
