Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special
They want you to buy both devices.mfryd said:However, this is not a reason to prohibit running Mac OSX on an iPad. Users should have a choice as to which OS they run.I have nothing against the iPad OS. It's a great solution for many (but not all) users. Why not allow users to choose which OS they are running?
