iPadOS 26 to Bring These Mac-Like Features to Your iPad

[Shirasaki]

You are obviously stating examples that I am not referring to. Instead have a look at the topic we're all commenting on.

Ok, if you mean hardware limitations for those “mac-like” features, my argument still stands: M1 has been used to run macOS from Big Sur all the way to what Tahoe today with full multitasking support and nearly everything macOS users accustomed to. So, iPad having M1 and above, paired with enough RAM, will surely have no issue running any of those Mac-like features with full speed. We’ve had no hardware limitations for 5 years. What excuse does Apple still have?
The only thing I can see that might be limited by hardware is onboard AI processing but how many people really care about that?

iPadOS 26 brings that multitasking to M1, so clearly it's compatible. No secrets there. Maybe they lack vision or their software team is slow, who knows why they release this five years in.
