Last year Apple posted a YouTube video on how to use Stage Manager for multitasking on an iPad. But as I watch the video, I can only think that Apple needs to seriously rethink multi-tasking on the tablet or, better yet, make macOS an option on an iPad Pro.
Apple touts its tablet with the line that “your next computer won’t be a computer.” However, there’s no way I’d try and do my daily Apple World Today workflow using an iPad Pro.
As noted by AppleInsider, last October leaker Majin Bu claimed Apple is working on a version of macOS exclusively for the M2 iPad Pro.
He said it will be a “smaller” version of the operating system and arrive in 2023. According to Bu, testing is being done with a 25% larger macOS UI so it is suitable for touch. However, apps run on the product would still be iPad-optimized versions, not macOS ones.
I’m very skeptical about this. Why wouldn’t Apple just release macOS on an iPad instead of a “lite” version. However, Apple constantly describes the iPad as its most “versatile” device. What would be more versatile than a future 16-inch iPad Pro running macOS?
