My M1 iPad Air has the specs of a base M1 Mac Mini or M1 Macbook Air - same processors, same memory, same storage. We're past the point of iPads getting "closer and closer" to the Mac. Apple is just outright selling Macs that they claim aren't Macs because they slapped the iPad name on them.

There's only one reason they won't allow ANY device to be as open as the Mac.

They make money off of every app you buy for the iPad. They make nothing on the apps you buy for the Mac.

Services keep growing for them, even as hardware sales are falling off.

There's no chance they will ever open up the iPad, the AVP, or any other device.

Best intro skit you’ve ever done and so on point 😂

[RiqMoran]

Apple marketing is a hell of a drug bc they convinced people that theres a difference between an ipad and a mac when theyre both just computers and there is no reason why an ipad cant do what macOS can do.

We don’t need a “dual boot” with iPadOS and MacOS, we need an UnifiedOS which would be some evolution of MacOS that would have 2 different UI. It would look like iPadOS when used as a tablet, touchscreen friendly, easy to use, and then as soon as you grab a precise pointer such a pencil, a mouse or a trackpad, then it flip the UI and then look like MacOS. But it’s the same OS running, which means you also have Terminal, Finder and Xcode DevKit, and you can run full MacOS apps, so it means you can turn your iPad Pro into a MacBook simply by grabbing a precise pointer.

iPadOS is the reason why I have yet to upgrade form my iPad Pro 2020. It is ridiculous seeing Apple fanboys on Twitter going in full defense mode when people are wanting macOS on the iPad Pro. They have every right to complain about the current state of iPadOS. If Apple is going to give the iPad the same hardware as a Mac and are calling it “Pro”, we expect pro level software at these high prices. The software limitations is the reason why iPad Pro sales have been down for quite some time. The iPad Pro would be a good MacBook Air replacement if it were to run macOS. MacBook Pro sales would not be affected as they will still offer the most premium macOS experience.

[Marngel]

Idk why but watching this debate about the iPad Pro and whether it should be able to run MacOS is quite entertaining as someone who just has an iPad mini, the only iPad that doesn’t have an identity crisis lol

[SaiyanJin]

After giving some thought this is my 2 cents. I'm a software engineer so I'm not reading just emails and simple user stuff

iPad doesn't need macOS, iPadOS is much snappier than macOS, it just needs to run macOS apps that would run once the system detects a keyboard and a mouse, that way it won't require the app developer to do ANY redesign of the app. In theory that shouldn't require a lot of effort since the cpu/graphics/etc are the same.

[BenMelling]

The single biggest feature that would get me to buy an iPad would be multiple user support. I cannot justify buying an iPad for myself and for my fiancé with the prices, and it'd make sharing with a child a lot easier for so many people.

[MikeRochac]

"MacPad" Just like a But magical.

[PrestoMoto]

I have tried to buy a MacBook, but I always go back to my iPad Pro with the keyboard

[PythonPlusPlus]

What you want isn’t Mac OS. You want to be able to get apps outside the app store.

[ArtelindSSB]

Throwing my hat into the ring of people who would be way more interested in an iPad if it could replace my Macbook Air.

[nattieCSH]

can't wait for multi user support in iPadOS 25

[thetruthspeaker]

Bro!!! I’m dying laughing on the floor!! You killed the intro 😅😂

[nextos]

A proper operating system is all that is stopping me replacing my laptop with an ipad

[kingjustice]

I laughed aloud as soon as you said “good morning Drew”. You need help! Too funny, and the video has just started.

[JJF_FILMS]

Just needs Mac OS App compatibility. Steve job was a risk taker I’m sure he would have replaced the MacBook already

[m.hreels]

Drew that opening sketch made me laugh so hard! 🤣 😂 You're a gem! 💎 Never change

[chrismichaelis]

Bro that Intro skit was so spot on haha
