iPad as a camera

Apple didn’t anticipate people loving to use their iPads as cameras. I certainly didn’t either. But they do, and now Apple is embracing iPad photography. And for whatever the iPad Air 2 camera lacks optically, it makes up for many things through software.

If Gruber thinks that the reason people use their iPads as a camera is the software he’s mistaken. Most people don’t edit their photos (or, in many cases, even look at them at all). The reason you see so many people using their iPad to take photos is that, whilst the size makes them worse cameras than phones, the big screen makes them much better viewfinders.
