Isn't that what an iPad Pro purports to be? I mean, that's why Apple gave us the $400 Magic Keyboard(tm) and support only for the latest Magic Mouse 2 (no support for Magic Mouse 1, because Apple...?). And of course, you can use any Bluetooth mice with it.
I think the convergence will not happen on the Mac side, but on the iPadOS side - with MacOS eventually subsumed by the iPadOS. Apple is just getting you comfortable.. frog in a pot of water and all.
- hnndg 4y agoYes and the fun part is this debate always goes the same way. Scenario 1 Someone says "I wish I could use my iPad to do more things, the hardware is clearly powerful enough" and an 'apple enthusiast' always replies "Why would you want to do that? Just get a Macbook!" Scenario 2 Someone says "I wish my Macbook had touch controls" and an 'apple enthusiast' always replies "Why would you want to do that? Just get an iPad!" And before someone gets upset because it also happens every time. I'm not saying all apple users/fans but there is very common type who refuses to possibly acknowledge that others might want to use their devices differently than they do.
