With the new iPadOS 26, I believe it will increase Magic Keyboard sales.I think my ipad pro 12.9 is about 60/40 tablet only / semi-laptop, and my ipad mini as 100 tablet only.
If File were robust enough my usage of ipad pro as a semi-laptop would go higher.
Not at near $600AUD it won't. 13" 256gb ipad pro and keyboard is $700 more than a 15" 256gb macbook air.
And you still have a big iphone, with keyboard.
I have the Mini (before that, a 10.5" iPad Pro) and I use it as a tablet. If I want to be writing emails, letters, etc., I use the iMac at home or MBP wherever I may be. A keyboard for the tablet just seems redundant. (For my needs - your mileage may vary...)I use my M4 iPad Pro in an Apple Folio, and it suits me perfectly.
I have three Macs, if I need to do some heavy typing.
I bought a tablet, to be a tablet. No interest in using it as a laptop replacement.
What about you?
