But from what I’ve heard, this runs macOS. You know what that means, though? iPadOS couldn’t get us there, so Apple is making bets in other places — like a touch-based macOS. But why would Apple maintain two touch-based computing platforms? Do they even have that bandwidth? Is this perhaps where iPad Pro will end up in a few years time? Will macOS gain a much more SpringBoard-like layer, and then replace iPadOS entirely on the top end iPads?

@stroughtonsmith ugh. I would be so sad if VisionPro keeps the iPad shell if Mac supports a touch UX

WhatsApp changed its tint color to green?

Bold move.

Having read and watched through all the iPad coverage, it really seems like a lot of people are aligned on the top items where iPad falls down

• The Files app infrastructure
• The too-restrictive audio system
• Background processing
• Multiple user support

"Just put macOS on it” is the fallback for most criticism, because it's hard to articulate just why iPadOS doesn’t cut it. And the "Where's the Calculator?” discourse isn't about a calculator app, it's about the missing apps of the core OS

@stroughtonsmith yeah, we ask for macOS because we don’t have faith Apple will improve iPadOS in the ways we need anymore.

You’d be surprised how many devices are just an Android (or Linux) app in a box

@stroughtonsmith and why would you build it any other way!?

All the RAM and virtual memory in the world didn’t stop Final Cut Pro for iPad from cancelling an export the moment I switched to another app in Stage Manager for a split second🥴

@stroughtonsmith Just another piece of software on the one-year-and-wait update schedule. Hopefully it wasn't just a promotion vehicle for someone and it'll actually get fixed.
