  • Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special

    StuFriedStuFried
    I own a Mini, a MacBook, and an iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard. When there is serious work to be done, I will take my notebook with me, but when I go on vacation or a weekend trip, I want to travel light, and carrying both a notebook and an iPad Pro is more than I want to carry. The same goes on some day trips. The thing is that I live in a world where I often don’t know what will happen until I am hundreds of miles away from home base.  

    There are some apps I use that there is no iPad equivalent for. I wind up jumping into a desktop. Microsoft Office has an iOS version, but it is not the same as the version on a Mac. You can’t open multiple windows at the same time, you lack granular control of your apps, many functions don’t exist, and plugins don’t function. While my iPad is 5G, a remote connection is not perfect.

    If you let me virtualize an instance of the Mac, I would wind up buying an even more powerful version of my iPad and not ditching my MacBook. If the version was virtualized, you would emphasize that on my own just as I know that when I run a virtualized version of Windows on an Apple Silicon Mac, there is a chance that the app may not run or that some function might not work.
