I really think Apple got it wrong with the iPad. They thought that iPads would replace computers for most people, but 10 years later it's clear that Apple's strict control over the iPad will never allow it to be as capable as a laptop. But the biggest mistake Apple made over the last ten years is that they have been holding the Mac back to differentiate it from the iPad. I would love to have always on 4G in my Macbook. I would love to have a touch screen and pen input on my Mac. I don't want to buy an iPad so I can draw on PDFs, I just want to do that on my Mac. Microsoft hit it out of the park with their Surface line. I think they made the right call, by understanding that people don't want app consoles. People want the power of a desktop, with all the great new tech from mobile devices, like touch screens and 4G. The Surface Studio is what the iMac should have been. It's weird to have graphic designers, once Apple's core audience, lusting after a Microsoft computer. Apple's reluctance to add touch screens to the Mac is really holding them back. Once you've used a surface device with a pen, you really start wondering why you can't draw on the screen of your Macbook. My guess is that Apple realized their mistake about a year ago, and they've started on getting iPhone/iPad tech back in to the Mac. They started with the processor, and the next step is adding touch displays and 4G / 5G to the Mac. Big Sur is obviously already optimized for touch, and I'm excited to see what the Mac will become if Apple allows it to compete with the iPad.
