Or making room for a device that runs either OS and making the transition less jarring. Though I suppose a MacBook touch (M1x) would already be able to run iOS apps, theoretically, and it would just help the apps themselves, rather than the OS, fit in.
- ricg 6y agoSo an iPad Pro running Big Sur? Combined with the Magic Keyboard, interesting... although I'd say an M1 Mac with a touch display is more likely. We'll see.
- mrkstu 6y agoYeah, bought a M1 Mac Mini to tide me over until I can see more directly where Apple is going with iOS/MacOS and touch devices. I really want a new iPad (still using an original iPad Pro 9.7") and a new MacBook (using a Pro 2016 for now) but I'd prefer a device that could replace both.
- whywhywhywhy 6y ago>So an iPad Pro running Big Sur? No chance, this transition is only going one way. iPadOS is coming to the Macbooks not the other way around. MacOS is the old world iOS/iPadOS is the new world for Apple. Pains me to say it as a huge MacOS advocate but the writing is unfortunately on the wall.
