Yeah, new lock screens and better Memoji is why you need an M1... given iPadOS isn’t going to justify anything beyond an A12, why not unleash the beast and let it run macOS?
Either they need to give us macOS on iPad Pro, or a massive enough overhaul to where iPadOS is basically a touch enabled macOS with full pro application support. We shall find out at WWDC.
Absolutely, so it lives up to the " your next computer" pitch.
Personally would be very interested in ability to draw with pencil on a MacOs environment...
I feel like we may get an announcement that all M1 iPad Pros can run macOS (or some equivalent game changing announcement).
One can only hope, I only waited about 7 years for iOS to allow sorting notes by title instead of date, but it did finally happen.
Now that M1's can run iOS apps there's no excuse for Apple not to offer a touchscreen upgrade for MacBooks and iMacs. Of course if you could add one for $100 to your MBA there might not be as much demand for $2400 iPad Pros...
Some part of me suspects that Apple sees the iPad Pro with magic keyboard as the ideal hybrid form factor. You have the traditional laptop design, and you can still detach the tablet from the keyboard for when you just want the tablet portion.
All that’s left is to continue porting macOS functionality to iPadOS so it can handle more PC tasks.
Who cares what that guy thinks?
MacOS on the iPad Pro is a great idea from a portability perspective.
I am almost willing to bet iPhones move to the M1 this fall as well.
Meh. Doesn’t seem like much for the iPad. The jailbreak tweak Anywhere Widgets For iPad allows to put widgets anywhere on the homescreen, and the lockscreen change probably won’t be much compared to jailbreak tweaks.
Therefore, it’s probably more of a big deal for people that don’t like jailbreaking.

Here's my prediction. Mark my words.
Apple will never (read carefully) NEVER will make an iMac with Multitouch or Macbook with Multitouch... Apple will never introduce an iPad Pro with MacOS that has been said and granted so I'm not going to start assuming that eventually will happen. What is going to happen and I'm pretty sure about this, (Every prediction I made since becoming a Mac User in 1993 always come true) Apple will introduce a new device. Something designed to run both systems but kind of limited, a hybrid to compete with Surface and start pushing the iPad Pro inside blue collar businesses. The name I don't know but the device is coming. It is inevitable, get ready for the new MacTouch running MaciOS my friends. It will be 10 inches, limited in ports and for the first time will connect to others M1 machines intuitively with Lidar and bluetooth related technology. Wonderful things are coming, Peter... Wonderful things...

He didn't just *think* though. He's an experienced macOS and iOS dev. This isn't some random guy on Internet forum. He clearly put some thoughts into it.

Exactly this. It’s all about a unified development platform (Apple Silicon + Swift / SwiftUI) that allows developers to easily create apps that run across all of Apple’s devices.

I just imagine them getting Blizzard on board to release WoW on the iPads to showcase it.They already have it native M1 support in Mac OS so I’m betting it wouldn’t be a hard thing. Having one of the worlds most known PC game running on the iPad would be amazing PR for it and also show all other developers what can be achieved.
1. I want to see the new-style Dock on devices such as iPhone 7 and 8 and the new SE.
2. I want folders to hold 12 apps per view instead of current 9.
3. I want UI animations to be faster.
Beyond that, I have no clue what I want and eager to see what changes they bring. New iconography is always welcome.

I suspect this is the solution that Apple sees. If the M1 iPad Pro can run any app the M1 MacBook can, then the devs can write the same app for the macOS App Store and iPadOS App Store.
I hope so, I have my doubts. Gurman at Bloomberg has pretty great sources and if they say this is a milder release and the stuff for iPadOS 15 mainly sounds like catch-up to the homescreen allowances on iOS 14 for phones. Honestly the new M1 in the iPads is astoundingly powerful but when if ever will me get a rethink of multitasking and truly powerful software like Final Cut? I don't think it is this year, we shall see.
Sound suspiciously like they’ll get rid of the silence button if you can set profiles, such as working.
