Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special
StrangeDays said:Of course people have separate sets of tools, exactly like that! You’ve never known someone with both a pickup and a sedan!? Cordless drill and an impact driver? An electric razor and a beard trimmer? Multiple sets of speciality scissors? Different types of pots? Etc, etc. Of course we have multiple similar tools! (I also have a house for summer and one for winter…sorry)Just because there are pickups and sedans available doesn't mean you can't load up your sedan with boxes, or make a long trip in the pickup. Nobody stops me from cooking pizza in my cast iron skillet instead of on my pizza stone. If someone else wants to use it in a way that you're not interested in, why be against that? As long as iPadOS is always going to be a thing, why be actively against running MacOS on iPad hardware?FWIW, after years with a Surface Pro, I decided to dump Microsoft (due to Win11) and move to a MacBook. But I realllly miss that form factor, and running MacOS on an iPad would have brought me over so much sooner, and I'd be happier now. But iPadOS isn't enough - I need a traditional OS. I understand that it's not right for everyone, but given how similar the hardware is already, it just seems so obvious and (relatively) easy.

I for one do not want my iPad running macOS - I’ll leave that to my Mac thanks.I suppose you have two separate sets of airpods for listening to your podcasts versus your music. You probably also have two cars, one to go to work and another to get groceries. Naturally you must own two houses, one for summer and one for winter. And I applaud your efforts to force everybody out there to do exactly the same.
