The last bit that file management is why people are asking for Mac OS on the iPad and also instead of Apps driven thinking as we do on iPad, it should be files driven on iPad and we could just do with the iPad only setup as well… it is the multitasking (without stage manager or with stage manager I don’t care but without the limits and restrictions of stage manager) and a few more tweaks to make it more files driven than apps driven and nobody would ask for the Mac OS to be on the iPad. Worked for 2.5 years on my iPad and made an iPad only desk setup. I also have the m1 iPad Pro… I bought the Mac mini m2 recently and it blew my mind… I find organisation in clutter of files and apps that I open with one flick on the Magic Trackpad and I am in mission ctrl… however when I am on the iPad the focus driven workflow that it has to offer makes me feel at home as I had done it for 2.5 years. It makes me more productive in the work that I am doing… but I feel restricted coz of the above factors.

If you are at home, you can use a bluetooth mouse to connect to sidecar in clamshell mode but you have to use the bluetooth mouse or trackpad and bluetooth headphones. Set it to optimise for the iPad's screen. You'll have to go to the desktop first to activate sidecar (mirror iPad screen) and then close the lid, then click the mouse that is connected to the MacBook to wake it. It'll wake to the mac lock screen on your iPad. Every time you want to use sidecar in clamshell mode, you have to do this. The advantage is that it will fill the iPad's 4:3 aspect ratio and optimise for it.

[@akshayballal]

They are afraid that people will stop buying macs

[@joseantonio6637]

iPad sales would increase, and perhaps MacBook Pro sales would stay the same, but MacBook Air would crash so hard if they did this. MacBook Air costs more than an iPad Pro, and even with a price hike, or only the upper 1tb being able to have this, a touch MacBook is the endgame for any creative professional. That leaves a MacBook Pro for true heavy work, but an iPad could manage both iPad tasks, and MacBook tasks, leaving the MacBook Air in a small niche market. Even now it is in a position where older MacBooks or the MacBook Pro are better deals. In my opinion, if a 2 in 1 was made, it would come either as a MacBook Air killer (iPad Ultra you may name it), or as a new MacBook Air with no iPad related software, simply the touch functionality and maybe Apple Pencil, but at that point you’re sacrificing iPad Pro…either way, one of these has to go because the market already overlaps enough that a new product would just kill them both.

[@SavantPro]

@@joseantonio6637 MacBook Pro would stay the same mostly because it has active cooling. The air is basically dead though.

[@IceBlueLugia]

They want you to buy multiple devices. It makes them more money and makes you more likely to stay in the ecosystem. If the only devices you have are an iPhone and an iPad with MacOS, then that’s not making them that much money and if you ever decide to leave Apple, you only have 2 devices which need changing, which isn’t much. That compared to if you bought an iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. At that point you’ll probably buy AirPods or an Apple Watch or something as well. Now you’re deep into the ecosystem and bought several products. Apple doesn’t want the iPad to be too much like a computer. And they don’t want the MacBook to have a touch screen. It means people will buy just one instead of both. Not as good for getting people invested in the ecosystem.

People never seem to discuss the two elephants in the room - battery life and security model. I suspect the battery life by transplanting macOS on iPad would be pretty bad - iPadOS and iOS is super aggressive on pausing/terminating apps, which is not how macOS manages the processes. 13-inch MacBook Air has a significantly bigger battery than the 13-inch iPad Pro, and for a good reason. I agree the Files app is in an abysmal state, and 'pro' apps on iPads aren't great, as well as how iPadOS doesn't let you manage long running task, but I suspect the solution isn't as simple as just transplanting macOS. There has been attempts to have 2-in-1 OS, like Windows 8. And when it comes to Windows 2-in-1 devices they aren't doing amazing, and previous attempt of Windows+Android 2-in1 was cludgy at best. Desktop and Tablet experience is hard to merge.

[@udance4ever]

thank you. when (and if) Apple ever does this, they are going to do it right - they've never been in the business of providing a clunky user experience. iOS (and iPadOS) will always be the sandbox to "think different" as to how an OS operates & more fundamentally carry the inquiry of "what is a computer?" it'll happen but probably not in ways we think it will :)

Yes my brother, tell ‘em. I been using my iPad Pro for years. I use it more than my phone. I needed to use adobe’s apps and they either don’t work on iPad, or they are horrible and buggy. I’ve been waiting for the oled iPad for years, and I’m in love with the new iPad but I didn’t like that they didn’t improve the battery life. I have the m1 iPad Pro and as a heavy user, I have to charge it every 2-3 hours! It runs out of battery so quickly and it takes forever to charge. I was very close to getting the new surface pro, but I just couldn’t. So, I got a MacBook Pro with m3 pro chip this week, and the difference is very noticeable. It charges faster, lasts longer, can handle heavy tasks, apps work better, texting is easier, and the fact that I can move the cursor from the MacBook’s screen to the iPad, then drag and drop files between two different devices so seamlessly makes me glad that I didn’t switch to surface pro. That would’ve been a huge downgrade and a big risk for my data and privacy. Comparing Apple to Microsoft is like comparing Bentley to Honda. No matter how hard Honda tries to copy Bentley, it will never be close. The services, the quality, the design, the warranty, the innovation, the user-experience is just something else.

Windows Surface is a strong contender, have had the same iPad Pro since 2018 and I see no reason to change it. M4 why? Totally agree.

[@AfesoFranklyn]

I'm so with you on that last point. We need better file management on IOS and iPad OS. The current files app feels so limited.

[@JessicaNeidingHaverly]

As someone who has only dipped their toes in Apple ecosystems through the years, this is THE issue for me. I would upgrade my 8th gen iPad for a new M iPad in a heartbeat if there was better file management, but I just won't give them more money until then.

[@udance4ever]

that's the rub - his point that the iPad is the best tablet means it will continue to live in this alternative paradigm for as long as the market will bear. the second you allow macOS on the iPadPro, all the lines get blurred & developers no longer get to see what users experience purely in iPadOS and answer the question of "how do we move away from organizing data without files (aka Finder)?" Some genius will wake up w a light bulb one day! 💡

[@Red_Duc]

8:27 heard about surface linux? You could install Linux on the older non-ARM surface pros. I reckon once there is enough ARM support on Linux, it'll be available on the newest surface pros

[@m_nikitin]

Hear me out: You can run iPadOS and iOS apps and widgets on MacOS, right? Just let iPad Pro users RUN certain MacOS apps on their iPads! No need to make all-in-one OS for them (though that's be nice), just let us run big boys apps on our beutiful tablets! That's all that needed.

[@kv_s]

This is the solution we need!

[@MikeHightower1]

Yes, all you need is the apps, not the interface, and a proper files organizer. They could make a few Mac os settings run in a Pro iPad os skin. Cant forget side loading.

Exactly all iPadOS is missing is Xcode nothing else Also I don’t see why IPad can’t get m4 ultra

[@richardgarcia8366]

It should be for all ipads that, if you have a keyboard and mouse paired to it, it should auto Mac os (especially when external displays being used). Then when the mouse and keyboard are disc, it’s in iPad os or (touch mode).

Did I miss what Remote Desktop software you are using?

[@DoctorAtomTNT]

Edovia Screens 5

[@TimdeVille]

@@DoctorAtomTNT oh yeah thanks. Used to love that app until it went subscription.

[@udance4ever]

​​I *still* use the original app in my iPadPro four years later - best 20 bucks I've ever spent. but I get it, $20 isnt exactly going to keep the lights on & they still provide free tech support when i need it. but I made sure to give them my beef that I'm not going to switch if the app continues to support my current use cases. they need to help their current userbase understand what they can do newly otherwise it occurs as a money grab (which im sure isn't their intention at heart as they have a great app!)

[@user-uk9fl2ky2w]

Best channel I've subscribed to I'm a Long time. Loved that intro!!!

[@Randomness662]

MacOS on iPad would kill the Macbook sure, but it would also kill the entirety of Microsoft's Surface line, along with all the 2-in-1 ultrabooks from every other hardware manufacturer. I only use PC and I can recognize this

[@drizmthw]

bro this man deserves 100k subscribers!!

[@DoubleTheDom]

How do you get this to work?

[@SaHaRaSquad]

remote desktop and a good internet connection

[@DomainObject]

@@SaHaRaSquadYes, but which Remote Desktop product? Screens, Jump Desktop, Splashtop, other?? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@111-Ti]

Very creative intro and cool presentation & montage skills 👌🏼 made me feel entertained till the end of the video ☺️

[@SA-xf7pc]

I've used the surface for 3 years. The interchangeability is fun for a month. After that the form factor is getting annoying. Apple is doing right for keeping their OS where it belongs. But I do think you should be allowed to install MacOS programs on iPadOS. There's no reason not to.

[@polybius99]

I am dead heating the motor revving up from a Tesla. The silence is so anticlimactic, hand down one of the best intro I've ever seen

[@percy9228]

whoever is buying the most expensive Ipads, is balls deep inside Apple Ecosystem and has a Macbook too. letting them have MACOS on the IPAD means lots of them won't bother buying the Macbook. Just have a subscription to use MACOS on ipad. $10 a month

[@JohansonM]

Thie video is awesome! Amazing edit. Also it reminded me how badly I want Samsung Galaxy Phones to run iOS! 😅

[@this_world.s_test]

iPad with 1tb or more storage iPads should be allowed to have macos

[@MAXp0wr]

I've always wanted a MacBook with a detachable display, so it can be used ergonomically.

[@sgreatwood]

I’ve had a work Lenovo laptop since 2010 (X220 through to current Yoga X). Every time I use a MacBook I keep tapping the screen, then remember that they still don’t have a touch screen!

[@udance4ever]

i have this problem w my iPadPro docked - occasionally touching my 27" screen 😂

[@selwynleacock6601]

Brilliant video. That's the dream I am chasing. To have a full OS on an ipad or an android tablet running Linux.
