OSX does not run on the iPad because it would give iPad users an escape from profitable "value add."
- ch_sm 1y agoAlso, it doesn‘t run on iPads because it would be very difficult to use all these mouse and keyboard centric UIs with only your finger.
- msgodel 1y agoNah. I used a phone for two years running Linux with FVWM and mostly VTE apps. If anything keyboard driven UIs are nicer on touch screens since the controls don't slide over each other all the time. Most people think they would be bad because they haven't tried them.
- burnerthrow008 1y agoBut macOS is not primarily a keyboard driven UI?
- xeonmc 1y agoImagine if iPad gains a Windows Continuum-like morphing desktop functionality when docked with peripherals and a monitor. They could name the feature . . . Continuation?
