However multitasking, though improved in iOS 9, still pales in comparison to full OS X, as does the flexibility. It pays dividends in battery life – I've found the iPad lasts longer, in general, than the MacBook does – and there are some areas where the iPad is actually better, like video processing. That's similar in weight and bulk to the MacBook Retina, though obviously you get iOS rather than OS X. The left-field competitor is Apple's own iPad Pro 9.7 replete with its Smart Keyboard. Perhaps the long-overdue refresh of the aging Thunderbolt Display will do just that, working as a USB-C 3.0 and Thunderbolt 3 hub (since both share the same connector now), but your guess is as good as mine, there. I know from experience how tricky it can be to find the right adapter – you'd think someone would've made a combined USB 3.0, HDMI, ethernet, and SD reader with USB-C in a compact design, but anything that gets close always seems to arrive with at least one Achille's heel – and can't help but wish that the engineers at Cupertino would step up and fill that gap. If I'm disappointed, it's that there aren't more USB-C devices out there, and I think Apple is missing a trick in not entering the dock space itself. Everything else I might commonly connect, I do wirelessly over WiFi or Bluetooth. My most common uses for it are either recharging or – with the company's own USB-C to USB A adapter and a small SD/microSD memory card reader – transferring photos from my camera, and neither AC block nor adapter are especially bulky. Personally, I don't mind that Apple has stuck with a single port.
