@danbarber @siracusa They are likely working on it, but there needs to be arbitrary requirements for you to still need both a #Mac and #iPad. I genuinely think they are afraid of making it too complex with a desktop OS.

@adacosta @siracusa Honestly, despite my joke, I think they should remain separate. A primarily touch based interface is going to feel clunky with a mouse, and a mouse based interface too fiddly for touch.

@danbarber @siracusa I think its time the #iPad moves into a larger screen category, 15.5 or 16.2 inch would be good.

@siracusa all very promising, but until we get terminal (which surely will never happen) it’ll not be a real computer.

@siracusa I am just wondering at what point they are getting bored with re-implementing macOS on iPad and just make macOS work there directly…
