Just to add, I really hate how mobile operating systems work. They really prevent them from being used more seriously.
I hope “Dex” like abilities become the norm. Clearly, phones can handle most tasks and it could prevent the need of a computer or at the least, be down cycled into a computer for a kid or grandparent.
I have so many old phones laying around that would do fine in some sort of desktop mode for spreadsheets and browsing.
I hate how much Apple has purposefully handicapped the iPad. It has such capable hardware, but the software doesn’t even come close to taking advantage of it.
But God forbid the iPad actually becomes a viable daily use computer (What’s a computer?)
Absolutely! If I could just run MacOS an an iPad when it has a keyboard and mouse attached, I would get an iPad today. There is literally no reason it cannot do this other than they don’t want it to.
I would be happy to make it my sole computing device. I wouldn’t even mind if it switched to iPadOS once undocked. But as it stands I literally cannot do my work on an iPad.
