> You can't create on these devices, they are designed only to consume.

Not sure I agree entirely. You still have apps for making music and video content, as well as drawing and painting etc. But I absolutely see your point. Hopefully with time they will make it possible to write and compile apps on iOS directly.

I'm not holding my breath for this. There's no indication that they're planning on it and every step taken since the inception of the iPhone has been to lock the device down more in the name of "security."

Android and Chromebooks are the same.


You can make what the walled garden owner has graciously allowed you to create. Now try making a video game on an iphone. That's how we used to learn to program, on Commodore-64s and such.
