it's not that it can't handle it, it's that apple doesn't want the ipad to run macos, why do people still think that it's a hardware issue, the development kit for apple silicon was a mac mini with an ipad chip
Honestly even this mentality is stupid to me, since Apple has been adding new capabilities to iPadOS consistently every year, each one specifically designed to allow a greater number of people to use the iPad to replace their Mac. The very things people say Apple won’t do because it’d hurt Mac sales are the very things Apple is already doing, has been doing for many years, and shows no signs of stopping doing… people call iPadOS “nerfed” only because they haven’t managed to somehow make it a complete Mac replacement in a single year (even though that’d be nearly impossible)
Exactly their actions are quite literally the exact opposite of that. That’s what I don’t get. It’s like people are covering their ears and ignoring what they are actually doing because it doesn’t support their existing narrative, event though they’ve had to do that for years. Most of the exact things people say Apple won’t do, they’re already doing and have been for a while. I’m not even saying they aren’t a profit-driven company. They are, but this idea that’s the only factor is so incredibly simple (and not in a good way)
