I don’t understand the number of programmers who always pop on and say they can’t program on an iPad. Adding functionality to an iPad changes nothing in your environment. They won’t take your Mac away and force you to buy an iPad.
“Ooooh, it’s a yucky touch device”…… Yes, but you don’t have to use the touch capabilities when doing different types of work. There are plenty of apps that I don’t pick up the Apple Pencil for. I guess you have to be a creative to figure that out. Believe it or not, I’ve typed out this comment without ever using touch on my iPad.
I’d love for my iPad to have Mac compatibility (more so than iPad OS 26 changes will help with) and I can want that without trashing other people’s use cases or preferred work environments.

Agh, it’s almost there! I still have to lug both an ipad and a macbook every day though. One app I use all the time is only on mac, and the other is only useful if I can use a pencil on the ipad. I wish Apple would make ios and macos and ipados and tvos and caros, all the same!

The macOS is still far from iPadOS though there are features that comes from macOS. And even in the future updates iPadOS will be still separated from macOS. However, Apple can make the iPadOS behave more like a macOS if they replace the base OS from iOS to macOS even if they still separate it.
@Vandal42
June 20, 2025 at 6:58 pm
This is quiet example of how money grubbing Apple truly is. Apple is no one’s friend, they just want your money, that’s how they become the most valued company in the world. Apple gets to control everything that goes into the iOs App Store, EVERYTHING, and Apple gets a 30% profit on every app in the store. On the iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook/Pro etc – you can download free programs, old programs, programs that Apple has zero control over. The “touch interface” is not the reason OSX & iOS were treated differently, its because the iPhone/iPad apps are in a completely closed system and the traditional computers aren’t. Apple just wants to control the ecosystem more than it already does – this flies in the face of issues like “Right to Repair” or iOs Updates slowing your phone, unrepairable parts forcing you to buy a new unit, unreplaceable batteries forcing you to buy a new unit. Airpods purposely have a battery that will start to fail after less than 24 month$$$. If Apple maks more of their products closed like iOs -it is just about control, taking 30% from EVERY app developer (that % can go up whenerver they want), an update can kill an app off unknowingly – it’s the type of business practices we hate to see Adobe do, far more 1984’s Big Brother than should be comfortable.

I really don’t understand this argument of turning the iPad into a Mac if you want a Mac buy a Mac they already exist.

I have never heard such tail-chasing blathering. If you want the computing experience, buy a Mac. If you want a touchscreen without the phone, get an iPad. Take some responsibility and don’t blame Apple.
And if you’re not irked enough by my comment, let me just say if you want to get any real work done, get a Mac and a decent-size display. The cause of most of this blather is that people want the Mercedes experience for the price of a Ford Fiesta.

iPad will NOT totally replace Mac.
M chips in iPad are not as powerful as those in Mac, MacBook, Mac Mini or whatever may come.
iPad is a close case so it’s thermally limiting on the performance of M chips vs in Macs.
So those that need the true prowess potential of M chips will still use Mac not iPad as their true workhorse.
Therefore the cannibalisation of Mac will be not as bad.
HOWEVER the mani development is not with Mac sale number but that for Windows pc and Android tablets.
iPad outsells all other tablets combined.
This means many Windows pc users have iPad. Many are only casual users of pc. They have a cheap or old Windows pc as a backup.
With the new era of iPadOS that include many macOS features and functionalities, casual pc users do not need a pc anymore.
That is, many will not upgrade or replace their Windows pc from now. They just use their macOS features as their backup pc as it were on iPad.
That is the sale for cheap snd sims mid priced Windows pc models will greatly suffer.
The while pc industry will be affected by this snd not just some will not buy a Mac anymore. The biggest casualty will be in the Windows pc segment.
Indeed Android table segment will also be in trouble. MacOS functionality will attract more from Android tablet to iPad.
Android over time will be more a phone OS. Tablet for Android will be an even smaller market. It means fewer apps and update for apps for Android tablets. This is a potential crisis for Android tablet as a whole.
Apple will limit M chip capabilities for iPads. Its thermal limit will remain the obstacle for iPad to replace MacBook Air in full.
Windows pc market will see the major dramatic transformation due to this new era of iPad and iPadOS. Android tablets are now even more precarious for their makers and app developers.
@JWOY-h5h

They are never going to turn it into a Mac it’s for touch. They want to keep it touch and eventually it will take over the Mac. They said the goal for the phone and iPad was to be a single sheet of glass and be a full computer for all you need. The iPad now with these updates can do all and more than a Mac. You can touch, apple pencil, cameras, filming, lidar, run pro apps, edit, use all apps and now navigate multiple windows, connect to a monitor, add additional microphone input output, and …everything online for work purposes can be done with the iPad. I think its surpassed the Mac honestly and never will get Mac OS they will just pass it by with improvements to iPad os. Additional thunderbolt input will be added to the keyboard along with HDMI and Micro SD. Just give it a little time they want to run the sales of MacBooks as much as possible.

I can actually get all my work done with an iPad just about. These software companies need to make dual versions of programs and apps – one for Mac and one for iPad.
I think its great iPadOS will have a more desktop like feel. Itll be like Samsung DEX. Again, only think holding DEX back is Samsung and apps not being available for both the desktop and mobile devices. They do one or the other type thing.

Apple just needs to develop a proper ‘Remote Desktop app’; they will sell more Mac Minis without going into total ‘product cannibalism.’ But to be honest, in an age of AI, the ‘all you need is a web browser’ ChromeOS philosophy connected to a powerful data center, like a modern version of old Unix mainframe/terminal philosophy, is also compelling where connectivity is ubiquitous.

1. It’s harder than it looks. Keyboard and mouse navigation is substantially different than touch navigation. Also app developers would need to adapt for a seamless experience. A virtualization (convenience mode) & and dual boot (Performance mode) would be a faster solution.
2. There are already better alternatives than the one offered by apple. Samsung Dex works even on phones, So you, for simple use cases just need one single computing device, your phone. Samsung doesn’t fully controls the OS nor rules the dev community, the experience of the apps can be mixed but is more than enough for a great percentage of the public.
3. Instead of restricting uses (I know, I know it’s Apple) Tablet developers should create useful incentives to buy both devices as a plus. In this case, you can have a PC/Mac and a tablet companion that works like a Second monitor, a drawing screen tablet when connected to the PC/Mac and a synced portable device when you are on the move (3 in one). This connection being high speed wireless point to point would be a huge plus for not depending of local wifi.

If I had to choose between one or the other, i’ll take my MacBook over the iPad in a heartbeat. I forever took my Macbook with me when I traveled. Most times I took the iPad Pro 11″ with me in addition. However, this year I upgraded to a 12.9″ iPad Pro M4, and decided to see what it would be like to travel and leave the MacBook at home. Honestly, I didn’t miss a thing. I could connect external drives to it if needed, access my Plex server at home, stream content…. I’d say as long as you’re not trying to do ‘serious’ work (developing, heavy writing, video editing, etc…) the iPad is fine. But even with iPadOS 26, we’re still not in MacBook territory if we’re going beyond anything basic or casual. That being said, the current iPads are a great substitute for Macs, depending on an individual’s circumstances.

MacOS will still be more useful than iPadOS 26. The problem for Apple is there are three operating systems, iPhone OS, iPadOS and MacOS. So you have to learn 3 operation systems. Just give me the option to run MacOS on an iPad. I have all three device. I will not be replacing my iPad Pro (M4). I always grab my MacBook Pro (M1) over my iPad. They are the same weight (with iPad Magic Keyboard). The MacBook just sits better on my lap, that is why it is called a ‘laptop”.

Fantastic video as always Bridget. I have a Samsung galaxy tab s10 ultra & an iPad Pro M4 I think I would use the iPad more if the OS was vastly improved. Hopefully iOS 26 will be the start of something better ( but I’m not holding my breath as blue isn’t my colour)

Apple already said iPad will never be a Mac but they could add a lot of more productive apps and give iPad more Mac apps. I mean the iPad Air and iPad prochas m chips in them when they really don’t need that the a chips would still be strong enough to handle those tablets.
@garyjames-ij4fr

When Apple finally makes the iPad behave like a Mac, many will start complaining we no longer have a tablet. I will and wish they would create better apps for what we have rather than make it another Mac.

June 22, 2025 at 10:02 am
I have both, the iPad will never have the full power and capability of Mac nor will it be able to ventilate and get rid of the heat like a Mac and it won’t have the storage like a Mac. Heat is the number one problem and Mac has the edge. Start putting Mac applications onto an iPad like Photoshop or da Vinci resolved processing large files and get ready for one really hot iPad.
@dovmerrill804
June 23, 2025 at 1:37 pm
Heat may be a problem, but the MacBook Air doesn’t have a fan (like the iPad is fanless). Apple’s solution on either platform, for “Pro” apps that need CPU heat generation, is to “throttle” the CPU (clock speed, etc). It works if you want to run Pro apps, but let the app take longer to complete the job. So, both iPad and MacBook Air could marginally run Pro apps. For serious Pro users, where time is money, those users should get a more powerful machine, with proper CPU and GPU cooling (like MacBook Pro or desktop Macs), to do their work. That’s kind of always been the case, though, right?

@dovmerrill804
June 23, 2025 at 1:26 pm
Lots of folks have suggest a “DEX-similar” usage for both iPhone and iPad for years (maybe a decade now). For lots of reasons, mainly greed and “design philosophy”, Apple won’t give users these capabilities (or Apple gives janky half solutions that barely or frustratingly do some of the functions). That’s reality, and the “potential customers” who want the “real functionality” must just go elsewhere. For myself, If I had the time or motivation, I would be a “power user” and complain about these Apple shortcomings (a company that could and should do better). As it is, I’ve been able to get by with what Apple has provided us (for the past 35 years, or so), and that’s been “good enough” and has worked OK for me.

@toddherman380
June 23, 2025 at 8:02 am
It’s 2025, and iPads (even the “Pro” models with desktop-class hardware) still don’t support multiple user profiles. This isn’t a technical limitation. macOS has had multi-user support since the beginning. Apple even allows it in educational iPad deployments. So why is it still missing from consumer devices? Simple: they want you to buy more iPads. This is corporate greed, plain and simple. There’s absolutely no way Apple can convince me that adding multi-user support would “diminish” the iPad experience. If anything, it would enhance it; especially for families or professionals sharing a device. But instead, Apple chooses to withhold basic functionality to maximize hardware sales.
Meanwhile, the quality of the software is slipping. Autocorrect, something that used to “just work,” now regularly replaces words with nonsensical suggestions. The Apple Watch remains frustrating to navigate, forcing me to scroll through a sea of apps I never use just to access the one I actually want because there’s no option to hide or reorder apps from my iPhone. And then there’s the “Apple Intelligence” rollout: big promises, glossy branding, and yet more barriers to actual user control. Add to that the increasingly closed nature of the ecosystem and a general decline in software polish, and it’s no wonder loyal users are starting to look elsewhere.
Apple has been squeezing its fanbase for years, but people are finally getting fed up. We don’t need more hardware refreshes and buzzwords. We need smart, respectful design that puts the user first. Remember when Apple stood for that?

The recent user interface changes are too little too late.

Jobs looks like death warmed over in this clip. I heard that pancreatitis is very painful.

It seems from the comments, that we all have this issue, that we have one or two apps that does not run on iPadOS but only on MacOS. Apple could just allow Mac apps to be run on iPadOS, for these edge cases, but they won’t. They want developers to make an iPad version of their app, because it can be better if it is specifically optimized to run on a touchscreen device. And the current apps that does run, like Lightroom, Photoshop and Final Cut Pro etc, sure they have features missing, but those can easily be added, and with iPadOS 26 being so capable, these things will get fixed over time – hopefully sooner than later. We need to put pressure on developers to get an iPad version of their Mac apps out ASAP. Apple has shown the path, the iPad will be the future of computers, all the basic stuff is there now, and multitasking actually works far better just on the iPad’s small screen, not just on an external screen, than I think anyone would’ve thought it could, iPad sales will completely overtake Mac sales over the next couple of years, it’s better than a Mac, it ‘just needs some polishing’ now.

A tablet that can do anything a mac can do will be the awesome computer machine. I hope developers move their mac apps to the iPad.

I can answer your questions in a very simple way. Imagine the word “engine” you have different engines, airplane, scooter or blender…. Yes… the iPad has a M4 (or newer), but it is scale down and probably uses the not 100% perfect silicon that would be used on MacBooks; so, you can “reuse” lower quality or trimmed down (economical) versions for the same dye. That’s the reason you cannot run Mac OS full in an iPad, you will need the full drawing / implementation / failrproof environment (adding cost). So, IMO iPad is just a way to reuse silicon that is not good enough to run on a MacBook 100% the time with minimal margin for error… Or… it is so cheap to make it that the lithography is the same but dumbed down by software at the dye level, not the OS. Well… I am just a photographer… but these are my thoughts.

Samsung has implemented the idea of switching between desktop/tablet modes with Dex.

Tablets will never dominate laptops.

The iPadOS 26 update is definitely going to lead to an uptick in iPad sales. Not only there the new macOS-like functionality, but also that gorgeous new UI

This request reminds me of Windows 8.
I’ve got an iPad now, and I’m excited to use it like a Mac! Having this makes me feel like I don’t really need a laptop, but at the same time, I still don’t have one.
