I hope Apple is smart enough to integrate a much better operating system onto the iPad. The current OS is a joke.Here's hoping iPad OS 15 is the star of WWDC.

The new iPad is 0.5mm thicker (likely due to requirements of the XDR screen). that means that the previous magic keyboard is a little snug when you fold it up. Apple wasn't comfortable saying that it "fit". It might be a problem if you also have a screen protector but probably not otherwise.I don't watch movies on my iPad so I guess my choice to keep my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 that works perfectly and is as fast as anything in use, was the right choice.
It will be interesting to hear if the original Magic Keyboard works on the new 12.9. Has anyone seen anything on this yet? UPDATE: According to this video, it fits perfectly. So what was the issue that Apple said it was not compatible?
Yeah, it’s true Apple may never support certain features on the iPad and it’ll never be viable for work for millions of people. Some of those will keep the last macOS device they bought, others will move to other platforms where there’s more flexibility even than macOS provides.View attachment 1777325
When iPadOS can make CIFS/NFS file-level shares and iSCSI block-level mounts ‘first class’ citizens for multi-terabyte storage access (Final Cut, ProRAW files takes up most of that,) instead of shares being relegated to an insignificant Files.app, then it will (was, gave it to grandparents) continue to be a shiny Wacom, email and video machine.
For many prosumers, iPadOS may be enough. Not denying that. But personally, for me, it’s not even close to being viable for work.

It’s a win-win, really. Apple gets millions of new customers that want what they’re selling and those that need critical features that aren’t offered by Apple get to use a new system that does ALL the things they want to do and so very much more!
Since you can select and copy the YouTube comments in Safari on iOS, I am going to blame the YouTube app developer, not Apple.It's more about how some things just can't be done on iOS for no apparent reason. For example, the other day, a friend asked me how they could translate YouTube comments. I told them to simply select the comments and copy paste them into Google Translate. Well, you can't select comments nor copy them in the YouTube app. In iOS, there is no way whatsoever to select comments, copy them, and paste them. There are countless little annoying things like this that you take for granted on any computer made in the past 50 years.
I only have a 55” TV. Still can’t take it with me on a trip.I'm sure the screen is amazing...
But am I the only one who prefers watching movies on their 65" living room TV?
I’m optimistic. We have every reason to believe that it will be. At the very least, pro apps like Logic and Final Cut are coming for sure.Here's hoping iPad OS 15 is the star of WWDC.
You can have already floating app over anotheriPadOS should feature some apps in smaller, movable windows, like the weather and calculator app. Taking from the design of a desktop.
Nah, you've created a fantasy here. iPad has its place, and that place is not as a Mac replacement. Not even close. And yes, Mac sales not only beat iPad sales, but grew more substantially year over year than iPad did. People doing work needed a Mac.

With the prices they charge for a 2tb you could buy 2 MacBooks . People are saying ohhh WWDC and iPadOS 15 but nothings changed since the last couple of times.
Not to mention even before you throw in a magic keyboard for 200-300 bucks extra over the normal price of an ipad, makes me wonder if they take us for suckers or are they playing a hidden card under their sleeve.
I wouldn't say it is a joke but, it is lacking in some areas and apps.I hope Apple is smart enough to integrate a much better operating system onto the iPad. The current OS is a joke.
It’s VERY possible, so I’d also suggest folks turn off Auto Update.I tentatively agree, but in the back of my mind, I keep thinking that they’re going to bastardise macOS by creating some kind of hybrid with iPadOS that would be more of a regression overall.
Unit sales for iPads is higher. I’ve been watching this for a few years, now, ever since Apple said in one of their keynotes that the iPad outsells every competitor’s entire laptop line. As Apple doesn’t provide unit numbers anymore, you have to get the information from other companies that perform a unit sales analysis. That fact has held true even through the pandemic.I don’t disagree but I think the difference in sales can be accounted for by:

That's probably true as well.Oddly enough, many people change their workflows based on what Apple tells them. I can imagine plenty of folks getting upset with the lack of HDR content soon, when they didn't care about it before.
The iPhone may have started out with a few multitouch tablet prototypes but what came out of it was an operating system for a phone released on a phone. There’s a reason that people called the initial iPad a giant iPhone/iPod touch and that hasn’t changed much.It’s not a phone operating system. The original iPhone had a tablet operating system. iPad work predates the iPhone.
Wasn’t expecting this misleading inaccuracy from Mr. Spock.
I was truly hoping for a crossover to MacOS with this device. Unfortunately Apple does not agree leaving it to be a overkilled ipad stuck in wrong OS. It uses the same apps as my daughters ipad mini.
I have a feeling there's going to be continued iOSification of MacOS or there will be some type of convergent UI. At some point iPadOS gets a developer / power user mode that enables MacOS UI.
iPad is held up by software has been the issue for 4 years. It's powerful enough to run desktop class software but isn't running desktop class software.
