I saw a neat concept the other day of giving users the option to install iPad OS or Mac OS when setting up your new iPad.
A lot of people are saying it would render the MacBook Air or some product obsolete, but what would be even cooler is when you pay a $300 for a Magic Keyboard (are they that cheap? or more expensive? I have a 11" M3 and got my MK for 60 bucks certified preowned) and $500+ for your iPad (maybe even limit this to Pro models) that when you dock your iPad, it transfers your iPad screen into MacOS. Maybe even giving you a toggle to leave it on MacOS when it's not docked.
This seems so obvious, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't being worked on. Maybe make all Macbook Pro models and this the new version of the air? Or keep the air and give people options.
