How about Pro apps Apple? Starting with your own Final Cut Pro x?
Better news! I own a Mac, as well as the 2021 iPad Pro. It's not the same device. Would be nice to have macOS features on the iPad now that it uses the same chip as the Mac, no? What's with the snark? 😂Great news! Apple already makes a portable computer that runs macOS. It’s called a MacBook! (Clever how the name makes so much sense.)
Which is why the iPad is a different computer for different usage scenarios.No touch gestures, no pencil and no detachable keyboard on those. 🤷♂️
I'm glad you pointed that out. I need your help though. The past five minutes I've been trying to touch the MacBook Pro screen and use the pencil on it. It doesn't work... maybe I got a lemon? How are touch gestures and pencil working out for you on a MacBook?Great news! Apple already makes a portable computer that runs macOS. It’s called a MacBook!

Apple is claiming it's a replacement. So I'd only like to have what they promise. Don't worry, I own multiple iPads in different sizes, multiple MacBook Pros in different sizes also a Mac Pro. I also own a Windows/Linux desktop and a fully specced Razer Blade 15 Studio edition. I've seriously thought about the Surface Pro, but I'm waiting for the next generation to evaluate it again. Would like to run Linux on it and if not, at least do more research on VBS before jumping on it.Which is why the iPad is a different computer for different usage scenarios.
You pays your money and you makes your choice (or buy both).
If you desperately need a hybrid device , Microsoft makes a Surface Pro.
There is an iMovie app...So does this mean we can finally get an iPad Pro version of Final Cut? 🙏
OK, maybe the snark was a little unnecessary. But we only have to look at Microsoft’s Surface Pro to get a sense of what a Frankenstein nightmare macOS on an iPad would be. Apple knows what they're doing, they prioritize user experience above everything else, unlike some other manufacturers.Better news! I own a Mac, as well as the 2021 iPad Pro.

So rather than trying to turn the iPad into something it was never meant to be, and would greatly diminish its core strengths for *most* iPad owners, why not try to persuade Apple to add pencil and touch to the Mac?I'm glad you pointed that out.

iOS and iPadOS lack a virtual memory/swap file system like traditional desktop operating systems, likely due to the slow and limited storage space on early and base level iDevices. Without OS-imposed memory limits an app with a memory leak or high RAM usage could theoretically fill up all available memory and crash the system.Anyway, I’m glad apps have more RAM available now. I wasn’t aware they couldn’t use all available RAM before like they can on macOS.
Sure, why not. If they can build a 2-1 device or detachable screen, why not.So rather than trying to turn the iPad into something it was never meant to be, and would greatly diminish its core strengths for *most* iPad owners, why not try to persuade Apple to add pencil and touch to the Mac?
Apple could do the same thing the other way around. This has been discussed in several threads before, so let me quickly summarize it.You'll probably be wasting your breath on touch, but pencil support on macOS is something Apple could do with minimal disruption if they felt the market was there for it.
“Apple is claiming it's a replacement.” Really? I’ve yet to see any marketing material or presentation where Apple states “iPad can replace your Mac.“Apple is claiming it's a replacement.

iMovie on iOS is merely a “scratchpad“ for you to rough-out your ideas on until you can get to your Mac and complete the job with the fuller version of iMovie (or for professionals, Final Cut Pro).There is an iMovie app...
For FCP, they really lack a paying market on iOS. Most companies will invest in the Mac version anyway.
The iPad is almost a computer.
Tim Cook in an interview in The Telegraph back in 2015 when asked about the iPad Pro which just came out back then:“Apple is claiming it's a replacement.” Really? I’ve yet to see any marketing material or presentation where Apple states “iPad can replace your Mac.“

He further stated you won't need anything else:"I think if you’re looking at a PC, why would you buy a PC anymore?" [...] "No really, why would you buy one?" [...] "the iPad Pro is a replacement for a notebook or a desktop for many, many people"
"start using it and conclude they no longer need to use anything else, other than their phone."
To bad the OS and software that runs on it is closer to being a phone than anything else.The iPad is almost a computer.
Actually it’s kind of confusing once you remove the snark. Is it a Mac that has pages like a book, or is it a book of Macs? Or a book that teaches you how to use a Mac?Great news!
