I often read that macOS is doomed because it is obviously understaffed and not aimed at pros anymore. Maybe. But I don't agree that the iPad is in better shape (as Tim Cook's comment might suggest). iOS 10 on iPad Pro has been just as buggy as macOS 10.12 on my Mac, but nobody even mentions iCloud failures anymore, or glitchy layouts after rotating the device (hello status bar??). iOS 10 also hasn't brought any new "pro-ness" to the iPad. Most updates have felt like "me-too" releases next to the iPhone (except for iOS 9 with split screen and Pencil support). Depending on which analytics site you ask, Apple has cut off ~35% of deployed iPads from updates this fall, which means that iPad app developers can't be smug about fragmentation anymore. It's also hard to look down on AppKit as the framework that hasn't aged well next to the complicated monster that UIKit has become (compared to iOS 5, sigh). Not to mention that tablet sales have slowed down, and both current iPad models (Pro 9.7" and 12.9") are too expensive to buy on a whim. If Apple has a plan for the future, then I don't see it on the horizon yet.
