That's the limitation of the GPU in the current-gen M1. It has two display encoders, one of them is connected to eDP for the internal display - except for the M1, which doesn't have an internal display, so it can be wired to external connector.
So unless they redid this part, this iPad and the new iMac will have the same limitation.
- gpm 6y agoHmm, for the laptop I'd be happy if I could turn off the built in display to get a second external display. That would literally be a big enough change that I would have already bought one instead of not having done so. I guess I'd be happy with an ipad-m1-computer if - It could run desktop software. - It could do that. Unfortunately, having a feature that requires turning off the built in display doesn't seem like Apple's style.
- minimaxir 6y agoTech specs for both the iPad Pro and the iMac show this still is the case.
