Do you think Apple will make iPadOS a true macOS replacement?

M4 chip is just kind of overkill on limited iPad OS that doesn't offer any significant benefit over full fledged MacOS. iPad Air seems reasonable.

I'll stick with the iPad Air and MacBook for major use even if they have true MacOS on iPads in the future. I use iPad for browsing only so makes most sense for myself. The price difference doesn't justify for me.

No.. and the air doesn’t worth 600$, and it’s a scam. The pro m2 is now 700$ from original 800$, what you get extra? 120 hz, 2 camera, Lidar, 4 speakers, fast usb c …. All this worth much more than 100$
