    Apple wants to kill it. As Cook said about the TV "the future is apps". Obviously that's a business move, like killing flash, that hugely benefits Apple. 30% of everything is some big dollars.

    Personally, I think it's fading (I hope so). I think they got it wrong with the Pro. That should have had OSX on it, but they will make more money controlling the apps. But from what I've been reading, "real" program developers aren't going to remake everything just for the Pro, especially when the Surface is there if someone wants a tablet and the real Photoshop.

    I've also read that more companies are ditching the apps because it just costs too much to maintain two, or three, platforms (web, iOS, Android). Having the web supports everyone.

    Things like games, etc., will continue to be apps, but I don't use any either. Flipboard is all I care about, everything else is the same as their website or worse.

    • I think the Surface and Pro will be crap and no one will buy.hotroddy
    • tablet sales are fallinghotroddy
    • sales have already been goodformed
    • I agree, very few apps will be tailored to the ipad pro. Putting a full OSX on that would have been a game changer.section_014
    • Surface Book is only dual core. Early adopters have been plagued with faults. Its been a wee bit of a fail. Looks beautiful though!microkorg
