I got you
They're using it like a second phone / burner phone. So they can talk to their sneaky link on the ipad / download dating apps and keep that information separate from their iphone. Also depending on their location settings, if they're sharing their location with their partner, they can use the ipad as a way to say "im home". When really they're outside.
Not a woman but years ago, I saw this dude I know, who is just like burned out, always some scheme. He's walking down the street with a damn IPad in his hand, and I walk by on the other side of the street, I don't want to even know what he's up to, so I just barely nod and keep walking. First thing I thought was this dude lost his phone, and can't buy a new one, and rather than just getting a new phone is busting moves on someones IPad, using IMessage.
Months later, see him in a club, and he says "yeah I know you saw me and knew what was up, I looked like a tweaker" LOL
The sharing locations is wild. I have a younger homie, he's 19, who has a second phone, so he can leave his phone at home, and pretend to be asleep for his girl. I told him that's like some heavy in the game adult having affairs, you are just out of high school man. Sharing locations is sick. Technology is robbing us of a normal existence. I would never want someone's location, and never give someone mine. It's not your fukking concern where I am or what I am doing. All these things make everything so dramatic. Trackers and two phone is like dope game shyt, international espionage shyt. Not for a bunch of teens and normal people who send emails 8 hours a day for work. Facetime. Sharing Locations. Read Reciepts. They are all just for user engagement.
I remember the first time someone wanted to get on FT with me, like 10 years back and I was laughing like are we doing a proof of life for a kidnapping? fukk do we need to see each other for, just talk to me.
....... I don't see it that way....... when you say a woman dressing her kids in matching Jordans, etc, first thing that comes to my mind is the stereotypical hoodrat, gum poppin, poor financial decision taking trope...
.......................but now thinking about it, I can see how the evolution of the one I'm talking about to the one you're talking about can easily occurr..........
...... serious discussions will have to be had if I am in this situation...
