  • iPadOS 15 confirms Apple's M1-equipped iPad Pro is a V8 engine powering a Ford Pinto

    Apple already has an OS that solves these features and runs on the new iPad Pro - it's called Big Sur.   Big Sur already runs on the M1 processors, and supports multiple monitors, multitasking, and even runs iPad and iPhone apps.

    It's policy that prevents OSX from running on the new iPad Pro.  Apple wants to keep the iPad locked down and secure.  
      That might be true, but on the other hand: if Apple would make the iPad Pro instantly dual boot, like starting (or opting to start) macOS the moment you connect an external monitor or a mouse, it’d be instantly THE most popular tablet/laptop outselling anything from any brand or vendor. 
      Because then you’d buy two computers in one. 

      Also ‘normal’ people would become interested in the iPad Pro, because it’d be reasonably priced instantly!

      For the real pros Apple will still keep on selling MacBook Pros and Mac Pros….

      I really want to hear Apple announce that M1 apps from the Mac App Store will be able to run directly on the M1 iPad Pro. I just don't get the purpose of a 16 GB RAM/1 or 2 TB M1 iPad Pro unless the device will be able to run Mac apps (vs 8 GB RAM/256 or 512 GB models). I suppose I get it for high end video editing, but other than that, I don't get its purpose otherwise.
      I think Apple will, but not the way you think or hope for, or anyone seems to be aware of. 
      It seems obvious to me that Apple will make the iPad Pro instantly dual boot: as soon as you’ll connect your mouse or an external screen, iPadOS will offer to switch to macOS, effectively converting you 13” iPad in a 13” ‘MacBook’. Why not? That wouldn’t be a compromise, for the screen as well as the rest of the hardware of the iPad Pro is perfectly capable of running a desktop class OS…   

      Disconnecting you screen could simply offer you to return to iOS…

      It surprises me that no one else on the internet seems to consider this possibility…?

    • What would make a new 2021 iPad Pro truly 'Pro'?

      mvmaastrichtmvmaastricht
      Dual OS. When connecting the iPad to an external monitor, switch from iOS to macOS. 

      The hardware is capable of it, and Apple has already developed both operating systems. Why not make the hardware run both then? 

      Maybe even offer me a choice to switch to macOS, the moment I connect a mouse, for that’s the moment I start to use a pointer device made for macOS in the first place...

      (I posted this idea to Apple’s feedback web page too)

    • Mac mini 'pink squares' graphical glitch fix on the way

      mvmaastrichtmvmaastricht
      Amazing. It even appears on my iPhone. I think T-Mobile’s behind it. Get that bug Apple!

    • State of Apple Silicon - half of the most popular Mac apps still need Rosetta

      Goed to know: the most complete photo editor, and one of the oldest Mac applications, is also M1 compatible: Graphic Converter, from Lemke.
