[@nurbati8718]

Apple should give at least 90Hz refresh rate to Air models (iphone, ipad, macs), let 60Hz for regulars, 120 (should be 140Hz) to pro models to justify the price tags. Thats why I never bought Aitlr models 😢

[@godzillaninja]

This is exactly what they want. I have an iPad Pro 2018 with ProMotion. Specs wise I could go for an Air, but it feels like a downgrade if I do, especially because all my devices have it (iPhone and MacBook), so now we’ll have to spend $400 more…

[@emilsecker7881]

You should suck it up and buy a pro model. It’s called PROmotion

[@johnnycash5858]

You screwed up telling your mom to get the 10th gen iPad. The M1 Air has been on sale for 50 bucks more all weekend. At 399, it's a no brainer and such a better choice compared to the slow, chonky 10th gen iPad.

This is the shittiest move that Apple did this year. They are forcing you too spend additional 130$! Like they know that their new pencil is not so cool, and is not worth as much because it is not working in majority of apps yet. So let's force people to buy it.

They're never gonna put macOS on the iPad. They would risk self cannibalizing their MacBooks.

[@WELVAS.]

Exactly! Making macOS and apps available on ipad would be the biggest nail in the coffin for MacBooks. In my opinion its the only missing major tool that hinders the ipad from being the logical go to. Apple being apple would never allow such an option and would try to get people to buy both

[@BA-gq4uw]

What do people think a MacBook can do that the iPad Pro doesn’t? I use both for everything and anything and often grab the iPad Pro because it makes using social media and streaming consumption far better. Both screen and sound. Word processing is the same. Same filing systems. So why do people continue to say they want Mac OS on an iPad? Just use a MacBook

[@jimtipton8888]

My iPad is my MacBooks little buddy!

[@yashmachiwal4665]

Does the ipad air have two speakers or four ???

[@carusoaugusto]

I still wish that we didn’t have to choose between touchID and faceID, just add both to same product. Also, the Magic Keyboard in its current form factor doesn’t offer a seamless transition from laptop mode to tablet mode and vice-versa. You have to detach the iPad in order to use it as a tablet, and then it has no protection and the camera bump is a bit of a annoyance if you’re using it on a flat surface. It’s not that this isn’t a major upgrade, but they should have solved all the rough edges at this point. Other than that, the hardware on the iPad has had massive unused power for a while. Now more than ever. I’m hoping the next WWDC will deliver a version of iPadOS that will finally turn the iPad into the laptop replacement it can and should be.

[@heidismerek4163]

The iPad is a tablet, not a MacBook. It’s not meant to run Mac OS. If people want Mac OS then get a Mac. I do think that the pros could use pro software. Apple isn’t going to kill the MacBook by putting Mac OS on the iPad.

[@jimtipton8888]

Or ruin the iPad by putting MacOS on it. They need to continue adding features to the current iPadOS.

How long can it be used outside at full brightness before it gets too hot and dims the display? That's my biggest frustration with all Apple devices.

[@kennethpocasangre4753]

roughly 8-10 hours

[@andyH_England]

Using outdoors with latent heat and high brightness is not recommended for even short periods on any tech with no fans. I would say if you have a habit of doing this then you are killing your device much faster than using it sensibly.

@@AnonN-sr6uu If you understand Apple, you will know they will throttle when hot, so it will appear laggy. This is to not stress out the fanless phone any more than it is already.

Why compare with the MacBook? Compare with other Android tablets. Apple would purposefully limit the iPads capability so they don’t reduce Mac sales 😂

[@sloppynyuszi]

It’s not even that. If you had Mac OS on it, it would be an inferior MacBook and a crap tablet. The surface pro isn’t really stealing regular laptop sales. The iPad with Mac OS wouldn’t really do it either. The pro just isn’t for you, and that’s OK. It’s for artists and they use the power. You just Netflix on a Samsung tablet, has better screen aspect ratio and also has OLED.

[@Abbidy]

Well having a ‘Pro’ iPad is fun to have 😁. Just need to be able to afford it 🥺…

[@PWingert1966]

I have the 10th Gen with the touch. I have yet to get the touch to work for me. I always have to type my code in and hats after two years and over 800 tries each year. I have tried re-training it regularly every couple of years and so far it just does not seem to work for my fingers.

I don’t want Mac OS on iPad Pro you want the apps and file management freedom like a Mac but not Mac OS on the iPad Pro

[@JudeSturman]

[@sloppynyuszi]

Mac OS on iPad is a silly idea. No pro will do pro things on a base chip device anyway. It’s a MacBook Air in a tab body.

[@PSy84]

M4 chip or later with AI should find a way to detect pirated files like ebooks movies etc...that way, we'll gave great file management in iPads as that's what's hindering all of this as Apple wants iPhone and iPad to not allow piracy...that's why no Netflix in mac...more developments in apps will be on ipads as it doesnt allow pirated stuffs

Scott (or anyone else) please explain to me this: I have an iPad, which I use a lot for 3D modeling and illustration. But I also have a MacBook because I need it to use apps that don't have an iPadOS counterpart (apps like Lightburn, PrusaSlicer, and some Arduino and Raspberry Pi mini apps). The question is, I thought Apple was going to eliminate the differences by making iPadOS apps run on MacOS with no issues. But the reverse is what I need. I need to run MacOS apps on iPadOS. Why hasn't this happened yet? Are they just trying to protect their MacBook sales or is this something that developers are responsible for?

[@martaanna9185]

I guess it is all because that on Mac you have full programs but on iPad you have a totally different system with apps. It is like you would like to use android apps on windows. (Which you can sligthly do - Windows had prepared special enviroment for them). But it is not the same. IPad os is very cut and limited version of OS. They are trying to cover it with cool apps. More professional apps (zbrush is coming to ipad). However with M4 the ipad is too overpowered for the operating system that is on it. And as border between programs and apps is getting thinner people are forgetting that apps are not the programs. In some sense.

[@mackyj7801]

Definity protecting sales.

[@andyH_England]

Apple never said macOS apps will come to the iPad. Quite the contrary; an interview this week they reiterated that it is not happening and there is no roadmap for it to ever happen. There are many reasons, too many to list, but devs are the main problem. Apple allowed iPad apps on Macs but devs either said no or mostly refuse to refine them, so iPad apps on a Mac suck. No way Apple wants this experience on the iPad. Just look at Windows 8 and MS effort to do what you ask. It cost them billions and they became irrelevant in the tablet market. Now they have abandoned Android subsystem on Windows as again no dev support. You are a niche demographic that make a lot of noise but the reality is as Apple succinctly said in their interview; iPads are complimentary, why would they compete against their own products in two extremely competitive low-margin markets?

[@MrKlawUK]

iPad Air + keyboard is same price as MacBook Air m3. iPad Pro + keyboard is same price as mbp 14” m3. So depending on your use case pick your preference. If your use cases bridge both then oops :/

I feel like people are looking at the iPad lineup wrong. The iPad Air is like the standard iPhone. Perfect for most. The pro is like the pro, and the 10th-generation iPad is like the SE model. Reviewers keep comparing the regular iPad to the MacBook lineup and get confused about the iPad lineup. If you need an iPad, probably get an Air. If you want most of the functionality but don't want to spend the money, get the 10th gen iPad. If you need the power, get the pro.

[@bisarothub1644]

pro power with no real pro use or apps. good luck.. :)

[@morrigansraven61]

They innovated by copying the Tab S8 Ultra...lol I bet the ram is 200 bucks for 8G and another $200 for each storage bump. They are saving plastic by removing the stickers while they ensure throwing away the old pencils. My bet is they won't tweak the OS to allow true MacBook level functions, and that would cut into their bottom line

[@domlarry]

Mac os on ipad 😂 yea sure

[@joshnizzle]

If they would just get iPad os to do what you can on Mac OS it would be perfect. I love my m1 iPad Pro and use it for my full time laptop for graphic design and art business. It can be tough at times but still easily can be done.

[@billreese7095]

It's called product diversification. What is the point of having a Macbook Air and an iPad running Mac OS. It will create the same scenario as the Mac Pro and the Mac Studio. Why spend the money on a Mac Pro with it's up-gradable architecture that Apple will not let you fully utilize when you can have a just as capable Mac Studio which is cheaper. Either the Mac Pro or the Mac Studio needs to disappear (it will likely be the Mac Pro ... it always seems that Apple hates the Mac Pro ... the main reason I switched to PCs in 2015). Replacing the MacBook Air with the iPad Pro will tick off those that want the MacBook Air. It will also anger those that hate Mac OS, but love the iPad (I am in that camp). Maybe what needs to happen is a better cross development system between the Mac Apps and the iPad apps, and maybe some advancement of the iPad OS so that it feels like an iPad, but has more of the directory structure and features of Mac OS .... Otherwise good luck with that because no matter what Apple does someone is going to advocate for the option Apple abandons.

[@andyH_England]

I agree. You have diametric views. Apple needs a sustainable business model, yet a niche consumer demographic want this and that without any reality of the unintentional consequences of changes. Tablets and laptops are two separate products, much like Android Tablets and Windows laptops. Even Samsung has stopped making tablets impinge on their other products, by killing Linux and no longer making Windows tablets.

[@billreese7095]

@@andyH_England I completely agree ... though Apple could create a great middle ground by developing a DEX like mode when connected to a normal monitor and you have a normal keyboard and mouse connected. Maybe not a full Mac experience, but a bit more of a Mac-like desktop.

[@andyH_England]

@@martaanna9185 That is untrue. Apple own the patent for Tandem OLED so Samsung would be breaking the Law by copying it. Samsung is one of two manufacturers Apple hired to make them, LG is the other. LG makes the 13-inch as Samsung has poor yields and is unable to even make all the 11-inch iPads needed, so LG has taken the slack. There is no way Samsung will have their own version for at least 2-3 years as they will have to reverse engineer it to avoid being sued by Apple.

[@bovineox1111]

I mean. iPad 10 is great but it’s $499 over $599 so I guess the 256GB storage for 499 is a $100 less where that extra $100 gets you a more powerful iPad with laminated glass. So yeah the $499 makes sense for most people and artists should go iPad Air imho for the lambasted glass, pencil hover and pencil pro support and the extra ram and layers

[@cocolynnxx]

Playing devils advocate here.. Wouldn't a 2 in 1 macbook be totally rad! Now I understand it may defeat the purpose of having an Ipad and Macbook as separate entities. Which gives you the option of having one of the other or both; all depending on what your need is but as for someone who wants both without spending thousands of dollars on two separate products, it'd be a cool concept tbh. Should the day they announce this drop I'd be highly interested in purchasing that. I mean, Samsung has come out with their own 2 in 1 product. I am currently waiting for more thorough reviews on the Galaxy Book 360 series before I make that commitment. Im not surprised if this comes out in at least 10 years when people start really asking for a combo of an ipad and macbook. Thoughts on this?

[@thant1875]

[@AdmiralBison]

Aint' going to happen. Because Apple does NOT want people to move away from their wall garden iOS/iPadOS and gatekept$$ App store. It's absolutely frustrating the majority of Tech tubers are not willing to discuss or tackle how lacking and restricitive iPadOS is, they go on and on about hardware. They are towing Apple's non-sense line about iPads being a computer replacement. But you can bet your bottom dollar NONE of these techtubers will actually use the iPad as a computer replacement themselves. i.e. ONLY use the iPad as replacement for their Macbooks for their work for several months. Sometimes I think they have a too cozy relationship with Apple corporation.

[@blackfalcon53]

I don’t think Apple will never put Mac OS on an iPad - the whole idea is so they can sell you 3 devices, iPhone, iPad and Mac. What is more likely is they are forced to allow third party apps like in Europe then we may see the iPad potential expanded.

Hey, listen, your mom needs a new iPad with a bigger storage capacity of 2TB, along with a pen and keyboard. You already suggested that she should buy an iPad 10gen which costs around $300, but why don't you just give her the one you have? You're her son, and it's your responsibility to take care of her needs. If you have an iPad Pro, give it to her, or if you have any spare iPads, it's better to give them to her instead of buying a new one. iPads are mainly used for entertainment purposes like watching movies, playing games, going online, or drawing, so investing in a better screen is important. My mother is 88, and I got her an iPad Pro, and she loves it. She said she can see it better than the old 10gen iPad.

Mac OS in the traditional sense will not make its way to iPad. ☹️BUT Mac OS has reached its end of life roadmap and we know that Apple is notorious for working on multiple platforms / interfaces at one time, while only offering one version from each subgroup; iPad OS, etc. for the actual product line. After living with the Vision Pro my suspicions were confirmed. Vision OS UX is great and isn’t half baked, it’s waiting on an announcement... to be unlocked… Mark my words that either this WWDC or next year that Mac OS and all iOS will be retired… and a new platform will emerge. I predict it will be a responsive interface that is the same on all devices, but pending on device, use and accessories… certain features will be enabled / disabled. EX: iPad- full functionality only works when docked etc. There have been so many breadcrumbs over the past couple years… and now that apps can run across all devices if developed to do so… it’s begging to happen. What will they call it though? If it does indeed happen? 🤔 Apple UX, Apple OS, “Vision OS” ?

[@wynzavian2000]

Everyone keeps talking about Apple not going to be stupid and put MacOs on Ipad. (It will cannibalize the Mac sale) Well how much better can you make a Ipad? Laptops get discrete graphics updates & CPU chips. When there is no new gpu or cpu upgrade they mess with the screen to justify the price. We went from pro motion - to mini led to Oled. Ipad sells had already took a hit prior to those screen upgrades. They don't even sell the previous pro models once they announce the new pro ipads. They are slowing down the upgrades on the lower model iPad, to get the most out of the pro lineup. We got a New iPad air with pro motion but the Ipad pros had pro motion since 2017. I think they least should develop IPADOS to its own MACOS system, because people are not going to upgrade based on a chip at the price they are asking.

[@oxthemoron]

It’s not about the iPad running Mac OS full time. It’s about having the option to flip into Mac OS when necessary or when docked and then flip back to iPadOS for 95% of computing needs. iPad OS should be sandboxed to run enterprise BYOD applications (outlook / M365). Apple will need to consider that. Gives you a fully featured Mac and docked desktop with 5G connectivity and 7-10 hours of battery. Take my money. They now have four years and a reasonable amount of iPad Pros out that they can release the Mac OS option only on M1+ devices. The rest run iPadOS full time. This makes sense and makes their pricing line up nicely. MacBook Air is $799. iPad Air+Magic Keyboard is $999. Their pricing lines up very nicely across models.

[@andyH_England]

I can only ever see Apple allowing a Virtual Machine macOS to run on an iPad. That means you will need to already have a Mac and therefore it won't have a disastrous affect on MacBook sales.

Apples dumb ,won't the 2 displays generate tons of heat?

[@jezza6575]

Who’s dumb?😂

[@CptSquirrelX]

Apple

[@yonkocommander5531]

It doesn’t have 2 displays, it has 1 and 1/3 displays, the second OLED Is just the emissive layer there to add more brightness without having to use more power

[@CptSquirrelX]

@@yonkocommander5531 bro says 2 displays...which one is it.

[@yonkocommander5531]

@@CptSquirrelX it’s 1 display and 1/3 because it only uses the emissive layer on the second one so it can get as bright has a regular OLED screen while using half the power and generating half the heat

Stop with these stupid comparison videos. Macs and iPads are two different devices for a reason. Get it through your prehistoric mind. If you want a traditional clamshell computer buy one!!

[@andyH_England]

Yes, that is the problem I have. When MB Airs are reviewed they never compare with iPads, instead they buy the 8GB model and compare with 32GB Windows machines. Yet when the iPad is reviewed they ignore rival tablets. I feel this has to do with agenda-driven algorithms that make more money by being negative on Apple whilst not upsetting Android or Windows OEMs where these creators make money from the plethora of sponsorship.

Great. My M2 Ultra Mac Studio & M3 MacBook Pro are now ancient. Put MacOS on iPad already!!! 🤦🏼‍♂️
