Those are mostly design changes though, not a full blown merge of two operating systems. One could say MacOS looks closer to iPadOS every release, but that doesn't indicate they're merging.
- smoldesu 4y agoThe case could be made for either. On a technical level, Apple is depreciating their desktop APIs in favor of their mobile-first solutions (like Metal) as well as encouraging developers to target iPad/iOS first, then port to desktop later (with Catalyst). Hell, they even switched Mac hardware to closer resemble iDevice internals with their Apple Silicon switch. You can't really blame them, since mobile is their moneymaker and it's only natural for them to want to cater to them first, but it's hard to deny that MacOS is converging with mobile workflows and not the other way around.
