I actually use it almost everyday for note-taking and ideation, for my product design job. 
 I also occasionally doodle for fun and recreation. 
  
 It’s definitely not a product for everyone, unlike a phone. And the pricing is no doubt steep - especially for non baseline models. 
  
 But it’s use cases definitely extend beyond watching Baby Shark on repeat, or for people who can’t use small screens comfortably. :)

Only pretentious Indian designers buy iPads.

IPAD is only worth with PENCIL. 
  
  
 I bought it because I saw my CEO using it almost daily for one thing or other, I bought it with the same intention but didn't use much apart from YT , games and movies. 
  
 Then eventually gave up using it and shifted to a simple notebook and pen but as I started moving towards working more and learning new things, getting into more detailed oriented work I automatically switched to iPad. 
  
 The freedom it gives me to endlessly scribble until I understand the concept, it allows me to organize my hand written plans based on topics, it allows me to read research papers in bed and so on and so forth. I bought it for this reason exactly but it took me more than 1 year to really use it. 
  
 I only find 3 apple products useful: 
  
 - MacBook Pro 13 inch(M2 if you want more power otherwise M1 is best for most use cases) 
  
 - iPad Air (bionic or M1) with Apple Pencil

Apart from babies and grannies, does anyone even use an iPad?
