Hypothetical question: if Apple released a Mac with the same form factor, display, and price as the 13” iPad Pro, how much impact do you think that would have on iPad Pro sales?
Assume they have done a good job implementing touch on the Mac.
@matt_birchler The trouble with this sort of question is defining what exactly the differences are between the OSs after ‘touch optimisation’, and let’s say pencil too.
Install apps from anywhere? Compiler support? Of course, I’d love it!
The app ecosystem? Devs criminally underutilise the power of iPadOS, with the background tasks API and granular filesystem permissions.
I prefer iPadOS’s app lifecycle and I’d be dragged kicking and screaming back to manually quitting apps.
