With the new iPad Pro launch, Apple has pulled the focus from the Mac platform onto its tablet range. With an expansive screen, thin construction, and portable keyboards, the iPad’s marketing promise that “your next computer is not a computer” feels tantalizingly close.: The challenge facing Apple as it tries to keep the iPad and the Mac platform apart has been highlighted by Mark Gurman.
Apple continues to try to bring the two systems closer together, allowing iPadOS apps to run on MacOS. Developers also have the option to create universal apps which will run on either platform. Of course, the hardware may not be as expected by an app; the Mac platform lacks a touchscreen, while the iPad family lacks a touchpad or physical keyboard unless you are willing to add to the iPad’s cost of ownership and buy new peripherals that offer these services.
Apple may have packed the iPad Pro with the new desktop-class M4 chipset months before it is expected to ship in Mac hardware, but unlocking the potential of this chipset is a huge challenge. Those reviewing the latest iPad Pro note the M4 and that iPadOS is not the best environment.
