Since they’re deliberately marketing that the iPad has an M1 chip, I think they have dual booting in mind for the future

  They definitely do not. macOS is not designed for use with a touch screen, and Apple are not interested in releasing half-arsed, unusable systems.

    iOS has mouse support, and Apple sells a keyboard with a trackpad for it. If they were that concerned about the touch screen being unusable—even though other manufacturers have figured it out—then they could just disable touch input while in Mac mode. Maybe even allow Pencil support.

    Obviously they’re going to disable the touch screen if that happens.

    > Apple are not interested in releasing half-arsed, unusable systems. Is that why on macOS I can open a window like "About this mac" or any window from a menu bar app, switch away from it with the keyboard...and then not be able to switch back to that same window with the same keyboard shortcut? Are you aware that, for over 20 years, Apple sold an OS that only let you resize application windows by the lower right hand corner? I could go on (and on and on) but I'll stop here: Remember when Apple swore by the single button mouse? They said it was the best thing ever. Except the first thing everybody bought for their new Mac was a multi-button mouse... Reminds me of how many dongles you need today because thin is in!
