  • Apple's claims about M1 Mac speed 'shocking,' but 'extremely plausible'

    I have two questions: 
    1. Is it theoretically possible using any virtualization software that I will be able to run two copies of Big Sur on the same Apple Silicon computer?
    2. People talk about being able to run binaries for iOS/iPadOS on MacOS, because they are the same binaries, but does that also mean that I will be able to run macOS binaries on iPadOS (since it supports a mouse and keyboard)?
    I haven't noticed anyone talking about these issues. But I may have missed it. These are important questions for me.

    On point 2, 
    I am also interested if anyone knows more of this topic.

    The fact most IpadPro's have 3Gb RAM or less, the 2018 IPad Pro mostly 4Gb RAM and the 2020 IPad Pro 6Gb RAM, possibly means MacOS with an external monitor is a faint hope.  Even of it runs, doing anything useful will be severely restricted by the amount of RAM.  

    The IPadPro does not seem to make much sense anymore in the Apple line up.

    The 2020 IPad Air and M1 Mac make the 2020 IPadPro obsolete in just 6 months coming from two different directions.  The IPadPro 2020 is possibly Apples worst hardware value proposition ever.  A situation that makes me very unhappy :(
    I suspect a 2021 IPadPro may get much more RAM, but the current iPad Air 2020 is far too much hardware for iPadOS in its current state.
