  > They clearly want ipad to replace macs for consumption, not coding I don't know what they want, but they're clearly preparing for a future where iPads are the default for consumption and creation. There are multiple physical keyboard options, the Pencil is consistently refreshed, iPadOS has mouse/trackpad support now, and there's even an official - if very limited - iPad IDE[1] for learning Swift. 1. https://www.apple.com/sg/swift/playgrounds/ https://www.apple.com/sg/swift/playgrounds/

    Swift playgrounds does not change their “app console” philosophy as can be seen from their documents shown in their legal battle with Epic (I’m on mobile so I don’t have the link handy)

      If we’ve learned anything from Apple’s history, it’s that what they say today has little bearing on what they’ll do tomorrow.

        The truest comment I've ever read. Honestly I hope you're right! How cool would that be?
