It would only require eGPU support to be added to iPadOS. eGPU support for Apple Silicon will come at some point in the coming years given the support for it in Thunderbolt 3 and 4. I could see some iPad Pro docks support it.
Got a tip for us?

All I want is better FaceID support.
I don't know if it's the aperture and angular range of the front-facing camera, but it works adequately (not well) for portrait and badly for landscape. Maybe two cameras on at the top, one at the side, working in tandem?

Mine works fantastic. Quick and easy. Perhaps you should setup an alternate appearance.
It seems odd that Apple would create an A14x and even include Thunderbolt and not just use an M1. Maybe that's a marketing thing?
Also, I surely hope the 11" gets whatever screen technology they include with the 13". It seems odd they would make them different for the same "pro" product.

Yeah or that lol 😂 think no matter what we are going to know more on Tuesday for definite...
Because if they call it an M1, people would expect to be able to run macOS on it and everyone knows Apple would never want that...
Why odd?
The 12 pro max has a different camera system than the 12 pro..
Don't think they have any issue making one pro better than the other.
I understand the concerns with multitasking but for me, they were completely overcome by turning to gestures. I swipe in between apps with ease, I drag and drop between apps on different screens using multiple fingers and the Dock. It’s become second nature to me, so much that I find myself trying to accidentally use those gestures on macOS.
If I need a few apps within simultaneous view, side by side split screen and a slide in-app usually do the trick. If there’s one limitation, it’s the screen size not iPadOS. That’s often solved by plugging my iPad into a display. I concede that multi display support (not just mirroring) OS-wide, would be welcome and I do think that it will come with Thunderbolt support and a more mature cursor mode.
Isn't Samsung about to ship Micro LED tech? Sure - it might be too expensive for iPads/Macs at this point - but is Samsung ahead of Apple and it's non-Samsung suppliers (assuming Apple would rather avoid Samsung) with respect to the tech?
Sorry, don't mean to be rude with you, but you're completely off. You're replying to one of my message that was an answer to another member's message about having macOS on iPad.
No, following the logic of macOS on iPad (again, to which I was replying), an iPad Air/11" iPad Pro + a BT keyboard and mouse would not make you spend more money than a MBA.
It baffles me how there are some people that think they have read correctly prior to answering. Making the iPad more productive and having macOS on the iPad are two different subjects.
Apple does make efforts to make iPadOS more productive (better multitasking, mouse support, etc.)
Finally, I'd love to see the iPad being able to run iPadOS and macOS and switching from one to the other. The iPad would be my only device + external display/keyboard/mouse for desktop configuration when at home/office. But it won't happen until Tim Cook is able to swallow it (i.e. never?). And assuming it does, yes I think it would negatively affect MacBook Air sales, even so the MBP 13" entry level.
