Apple already said there will be no macOS on iPad, but people still hope. But you have privacy and no awful flea market, trust Tim and buy these pro devices!

Because using macOS on a ****ing touch device is ****ing stupid. Have you seen microsoft surface? Tremendous hardware. They are masterpieces. Yet, people use them as excellent laptop and not use them as tablets. Why? Because the buttons, ui are so small it is damn small. Now, use macOS with your finger that has even smaller buttons and UI then Windows. I dare you, your expectation will be shattered.

In short, why change the UI that is tailored for touch and cram macOS that is tailored for mouse pointer?


What we needmis adding more functionality to ipadOS and maybe ability to run mac apps by catalyst or something. Not macOS in iPad

This is not enough. It is ridiculing users that bought the M1 iPad Pro. The iPad is actually Apple’s best computer.


Thunderbolt and WiFi 6/5G isn’t valid. At least not yet and marginal.

The software is difficult. There is no actual file system, multitasking, terminal/command line, torrents app, multimedia codecs, multi-screen dynamism, and window management.

The software still doesn’t solve many visual cues about the status of its progress. ( a downloading or status indicator) It is the same iPad experience that has been years in the making.

These rumored changes compound scorn and a deliberate choice of stunting the platform.



The user experience is stagnant and regnantly in Apple’s control and favor. It is a beautiful machine, and just like the protectionist measures of the original Mac, the iPad exhibits the exact boastful nature that allowed the Mac to be sidelined. Hubris is a megalomaniac trait. Open up the damn operating system for F sake, Apple.

Improvements to Multitasking needs to include work on multiple documents within one app. Like tabs on the Mac.

it’s nuts on a “pro” device we have to continually open and close files to do basic, common multi-file workflows.

the other thing we need on iPadOS is some type of “menu system” It doesn’t have to copy the Mac and should be reimagined for tablets, but dumpimg everything in the ”share” menu is sloppy and lazy.

You need to change UI to use macOS apps with touchscreen anyway. Or you want to use these apps only with connected magic keyboard? Then why not just add instant macos mode with good interface for keyboard touchpad?
And yep, if Apple will try to adapt macOS for both devices, there would be awfully big to mouse / small to finger buttons and bad usage of free space for gui, like everywhere else.

Does anyone really care about widgets? It was popularized on the Mac and it was a complete failure. Who cares about widgets? It is so inconsequential. What about file system, multitasking, terminal/command line, torrents app, multimedia codecs, multi-screen dynamism, and window management. Obviously this is outside of control.

I'll throw in a reliable Files app so that transfer photos from memory cards/hard drives don't fail with a strange error message.

The issue is that these features were put on the developer. $5 says that if Apple allowed developers to charge for each instance of an app we would get all sorts of support for in-app multitasking.

Or, Apple could bake multitasking support into the OS such that developers need not bother with special implementation. Of course, developers would be upset because either their existing code is now useless or claim that they didn't want users to be able to multi-task.
 
Combine macOS and iPadOS already. Allow Mac apps on iPad, especially a robust file manager like Finder. Quit being coy, Apple. Even though you say this would never happen, we all know this is the end result as iPads and Macs become more and more alike in software and hardware.

Very excited about iPadOS this year - waiting for the keynote to pull the trigger on the new 12.9 iPad Pro

I haven't really made use of widgets on the iPad. I use them a little on the phone.

Disagree wholeheartedly. I have a 2-in-1 Chromebook I use occasionally and also with the kids, and it convinced me the 2-in-1 form factor is here to stay. I just wish it ran macOS instead of Chrome OS. Saying the UI targets and such are not optimized for touch is just a cop out. Just a few years ago the same people were saying a mouse would never make sense on an iPad and look where we are. Touch interaction for macOS as a secondary input method can be easily addressed if given the proper development time. Even Apple has already hedged on it in their patents. Looks like an iMac with M2 or M3 chip if you ask me:

Personally, I think this might be one of the biggest wwdc we ever seen. Apple announced lossless apple music, and tons of accessibility software function ahead of this wwdc. Normally, these functions are announced during keynote of wwdc. But this year, they didn’t. This might be the sign that they have not enough time to announce accessibility functions because 2 hours keynote was already packed.

Pretty sure that was just marketing to cover up any bad press that may have come out of the epic anti competitive trial.

Come on, Apple, let’s finish this soon. No need to hide your intentions for more time: release iPadOS with Terminal and game over for the Mac

Weirdly enough, there’s already sort of support for menubars, in the sense that any app written using catalyst that also runs on ipads already has the menu code present, and it may magically start showing menus as soon as you upgrade to ipados 15.

I disagree. After Monday’s WWDC sessions, all M1 iPad owners will still be within their thirty day return window…. In my case, if single app memory limits are not removed, I just might have to swap my 16GB/1TB iPad for a more appropriately sized 8GB/512GB iPad and allocate the savings towards one of the rumored upcoming Macbook Pros.

In the U.S., the policy is 14 days unless Apple has changed policy recently.
