I got an iPad Pro a while back.

I use iPads mainly to hold music scores, and at the time, the Roland Piano Keyboard just would not hold a laptop securely.

Since then, I got a Yamaha Clavinova to replace the Roland and there always was the real piano. While both will hold a laptop securely, laptops are expensive displays. If I change from the iPad Pro, it will be to a mini with a 17 inch monitor, even bigger. Both of which are unused at this time, with earlier technology.

Until ios becomes MacOS (and not the other way around), an iPhone or iPad is vastly less productive (and vastly more frustrating) for me. Simple operations like getting an image URL are basically impossible except for McGuyver tricks (mailing myself the image) And I keep email off the iPad, to help focus on its intended use.

Assuming you're talking about an image in the browser? Long press, drag it to the address bar, that'll load the image alone and you can copy the address from the bar.

My experience is it doesn’t work all of the time because many websites add their shenanigan Javascripts to restrict the selection or extracting images

Alas, there's the screenshot.

I never would have thought of that.

Thanks!
