Every construction admin, supervisor, field inspection guy, etc. has a top of the line iPad Pro, in an Otterbox, with a kind of sling that helps you hold it with one hand, and an Apple Pencil, and they spend all day in Plangrid.
This setup has completely eaten the entire market.

- mrkpdl 7mo agoConstruction and illustration are hardly niche industries
- pier25 6mo agoConstruction is not a niche industry although I would argue otherwise about illustration. Anyway my previous point was not about those being niche industries but niche use cases as far as iPad users.
- mrkpdl 6mo agoJust to clarify, my point was that the construction usage is not niche. But anyway if you continue along your path of reasoning and discount all use cases one by one you end up with no product at all… or maybe a photo/video player and messaging device. But as proven by the construction and many other use cases the iPad is more than that.
