If you feel the iPad doesn't meet your needs, sell it and purchase/get a mobile device/tablet that does! I think we’ll see improvements to the iOS software trackpad functionality, first, before Apple will, if ever, offer support for any conventional wireless pointing devices. It's going to be a much longer wait for Apple to offer REAL wireless Bluetooth support for wireless mice and trackpads, though. Yet, iPads now have native stylus support with the Apple Pencil.Īctually, third party stylus makers were already supporting iDevices with stylii of all types, including smart, Bluetooth ones. I am surprised that Apple, in 2015, finally decided to add native stylus support to iPads with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil after 5-8 years!Įveryone remember when Steve Jobs kept stating how adding a stylus to a mobile device meant the device would already be an epic fail before launch? What's the point to having a truly lightweight and portable mobile tablet device if you have to schlep around bulky heavy keyboard cases or a seperate Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad/mouse with you all of the time wherever you take your iPad? I learned to use the tools I purchased and to make the best of these modern day electronic tools. I have never needed the use of an external trackpad or mouse when using my iPads. I learned to be fast and proficient using the software/onscreen keyboard. I learned to use my iPads as they were designed to be used. Unlike many 'old school” computer users, I learned how to use the device and the device paradigm that I purchased. I have been using iPads as a cheaper laptop replacement since the iPad was introduced 2010.
