What I really dislike in Ipad Pro is that IOS doesn't adapt to it as e.g. showing more icons [1]. Then I could see it as being professional oriented. Right now is just an Ipad Large.

Honestly this is an issue for other tablets and larger-display devices as well. I've used both Android and iOS on tablets and 5-6" phones and both default launchers make poor use of the display size and pixel density. The main difference is that I got tired of having to jailbreak my iPad to fix these simple issues while I can just run a different launcher on Android which behaves normally but lets me choose how many rows/columns of icons are shown.

It's doubly annoying on iOS (to me at least) since the launcher is also the "app drawer". You've got no choice but to have rows/columns of icons across the home screen so poor use of space is extra puzzling.

Is that really true? That seems like such an oversight.
