My big takeaway last week, when Apple launched the iPad Pro, was this: Apple just admitted Bill Gates was right and Steve Jobs was wrong. You see, years ago Steve Jobs went on about how the early Windows tablet, which was designed for work and had a stylus, was stupid. Steve was not a fan and pretty much dissed the entire tablet idea and then again dissed the whole idea of a stylus when he launched the iPhone. Well, Tim Cook effectively gave Jobs a royal raspberry with the iPad Pro, which is basically the Apple version of the Windows tablet.
Calling the Surface a success is a bit of a stretch. As for Cook giving Jobs a raspberry, I'd have to say Mr. Cook is following Mr. Jobs playbook to a T. Jobs never had a problem telling you something was bad, unless and/or until he decided it was not bad.
