Why use an iPad for development?

Who needs a laptop when you can squash bugs with a literal tap on the screen with the iPad? Here are some arguments for and against using an iPad for development:

Arguments against:

I understand that many people think it is ridiculous to use the iPad for development
The iPad is limited, mainly because of iPadOS as the hardware is very capable
There is a limited selection of applications that can be run on iPadOS
A lack of first-class IDEs
Keyboard shortcuts are often limited
Lack of first class local file access
Smaller screen than most laptops

Arguments for:

All day battery life
No annoying fan noises
- Mainly an issue with Windows based laptops
Apps I use a lot and easy installation from the app store
Portability and robustness
- I am not as afraid of carrying it around with me as I am a full laptop
- The iPad is not as heavy as most laptops
Compatibility with iPhone including easy copy and paste of information
My iPad is typically available wherever I am
With cloud-based applications you don’t need to install applications locallly
- Cloud applications can be limited
I suppose I should mention the Apple Pencil although I don’t really use that for development, but the touch screen can be really useful at times
Testing on an iPad while developing on the iPad can be useful if that is one of the platforms you plan to run on
Being forced to develop in the cloud can mean you are less likely to lose your work from a system crash
Cellular connectivity can be really useful when there is no Wi-Fi or the Wi-Fi connection is not very strong
