I don't get it. People have been wondering when this would happen since the very first iPad Pro, so lots of people will be happy now... Even assuming all the required horse power is there, I still don't get it... Maybe I'm getting old.

There are a few reasons that I am excited for this, none of which have to do with actually using logic pro or final cut on an ipad. 1. This is an excellent signal that iPads can get "real" software now, hopefully more companies start porting their desktop mac software to iPadOS 2. Apple will continute to keep MacOS and iPadOS separate rather than trying to combine them like a lot of people on the internet think they want, which is good. 3. WWDC is going to be an absolute banger this year if they are announcing something like this in a press release.

  I'm really excited for point 3. I really wish iOS opens up to accept a real terminal. I know iSH exists but it runs using usermode x86 emulation.

    You can sideload UTM if you sign it with your own developer key, and run VMs with JIT-based acceleration. It’ll sometimes get killed by the OS without much you can do about it though.

Looks like the latest generation of iPad Pro and MacBook Air have comparable CPU benchmarks.[^1][^2] I'm with you in not getting it, though. Editing video on an iPad seems like it'd be a frustratingly constrained affair due to the UI. But I might just be getting old too.

  Not only that, but the latest generation iPad Pro and MacBook Air have the same CPU (and SoC as a whole)
