Idk why someone is giving a thumbs down.
They just took their mac specific ARM chip and put it in an ipad. Anyone who doesn't believe that macos isn't coming to the iPad is either insanely ignorant or oblivious at this point.
What's up with the iPhone's menu design? Seems pretty good to me at the moment. If it were up to me I'd get rid of the randomly categorised apps in the app drawer and have it go straight to the alphabetic list, but I don't really care - I always use pull-down-to-search for any app that's not on my one Home Screen page anyway (just as on Mac I use Spotlight for anything that's not in the dock).
Actually that's one thing I'd like to see changed on iOS and iPad OS - the option to get rid of the dock. I genuinely don't see what purpose it serves in a non-windowed environment. It just removes a row from all your home screens.

iMessage is in the desperate Need of completely reworking how to many attachments. It has been a mess from the start.
Wallpapers and auto deleted images would be a welcome addition too

also no proper OS for the iPad Pro? What is the point of even having M1? To run iOS Apps?! Those are optimized for the lowest entry model iPad anyway … I never thought to myself „wow! I wish this app was faster on my iPad“

I consider iPadOS to be a subsidiary of iOS as it is basically iOS with adjustments to deal with the larger screen like split view and a few other other small additions (or subtractions). Everybody (including you I would assume if I searched your posting history) still uses the term ‘iOS devices’ and includes in that iPhones, the iPod touch and iPads.
That's what I'm hoping for. We'd probably have heard about it by now, but I'd really like it to act more like MacOS when connected to a keyboard and pointing device, essentially I want it to be a hybrid device. Still they must have something planned for that 16GB RAM. Xcode for iPad maybe?
It's not the home screen that holds iPadOS back though is it (though I agree it's not great right now). It's its multitasking capabilities.
That wouldn’t be a great idea.
Funny, because Apple is the company that has the longest hardware/software support. Perhaps you could build a tech company that would support hardware forever in a world where the technology landscape is changing dramatically every year.
You mean you want a MacBook Air with touchscreen?
Hopefully iPadOS 15 brings some bigger changes than customized Home screen.
I would like to see location aware volume control.
Volume level for alarms.

Would love more info on the Lock Screen. Show me the current weather and what's next on my calendar. This should have been done on IOS 2
Came here to say exactly this..... glad it was the first post.
iOS is well overdue for a design refresh. Other than minor UI tweaks and additions it's been the same since iOS 7.
what else would you need the M1 and 16 GB of RAM on an iPad for? iOS Apps Are developed and optimized with the weakest yet probably sold most „iPad“ in mind (broad appeal) which is certainly not the Pro and probably not even the Air. Never opened an iOS app thinking „I wish it was faster!“
Nice, will happily welcome anything fresh and new. 👍
Apple is working on upgrades to iMessage, with the eventual goal of acting as more of a social network that is in a better position to compete with WhatsApp.
This will be a very tough undertaking, considering iMessage is only supported by Apple OSs. Even if Apple release Android/Windows clients for iMessage, what’s the incentive for people to move away from their current well-established messaging services? 🤷🏻♂️

Yeah I agree. Apple’s hardware is the best I’ve seen it, probably ever. From the iPhones to iPad lineup, to the M1 Macs, Watch, AirTag, etc. Now time for the software to catch up on the iPad.
Just make my phone remember volume levels on a per-bluetooth device basis. If I've had my volume low and I connect to my car audio, I don't want to have to crank the volume up on my iPhone every time. Just make it remember the last volume I had set when connected to my car audio, and use that every time I connect to my car audio. When I switch to headphones, remember the last volume I had for my headphones and switch to that.
I hope iPadOS 15 is more than just parity with iOS widget support. All the iPad Pros released since 2018 have been held back by the os and not the hardware.
Please Apple turn iPadOS a real productivity operating system. We need more than incremental changes to iPadOS this year.

I don’t buy for a second that people wouldn’t be going crazy for an iPad that turned into an iMac when docked.
Lack of privacy for those services and/or the companies behind the services? Facebook, for example...
I don’t know if macOS is coming to iPad so much as the iPad theoretically should be able to run any app the M1 Macs can run. This is huge for Lightroom and Photoshop users like my wife. It would be neat to see macOS available on the iPad when docked. Other than the different interface (Touch vs Pointer), why wouldn’t the new iPad Pros be able to run macOS? I would love to run macOS on my iPad Pro when attached to my Magic Keyboard then return back to iPadOS when off.
