Could Apple make an iPad like device that wasn’t a full device with all the features but instead only worked when paired with a second device?
Ie a touchscreen with battery, Bluetooth, a few ports and perhaps storage (and minimal compute to run the screen) that then pairs with a laptop or an iPhone or a VisionPro and works as a display and input device?
(Perhaps with either no camera or only a camera for FaceID and videoconferencing)
I’ve long thought that we might eventually see a screen less device that has compute, storage and radios which then pairs with a variety of other devices for full functionality (watch, VisionPro or what comes next after that, screens, controllers etc. it raises various lag and interference and security concerns but also could allow for staggered upgrades as well as entirely new form factors
