macOS on iPad

Any workarounds for this? I thought Apple said they wanted to keep mac a computer and not an iPad..

if only macOS would run on iPad..

iPad Pro is what they are targeting. Try to get more desktop apps.

I like some UX aspects of iPadOS, but need the functionality of macOS for work.

I think the iPad hardware has been outstanding for many years. It's the software which is is limiting it constantly. They should let us put macOS or Linux on it. Or be able to do full on dev work (I realize some dev work is possible). If I could do my iOS and Android app dev on iPad, it would be instant buy.

It would destroy the Mac user base if iPads were capable of running desktop class applications?

Some people want to use the iPad with a keyboard, mouse and external monitor. The iPad supports these things so why not let those users run full programs.

Are there any plans for an iPadOS client?

When was the last time you used iPadOS? It can run multiple programs, and can display two side-by-side just fine. Yeah that means it's a little clunky if you need to switch between three or more apps, but it's not like it can't have apps in the background when you can't see them. (Plus, no need to simulate anything, you're on a real iOS device.) There's still no Xcode for iOS, though there is Swift Playgrounds if you're an iOS developer, and VScode still hasn&#

For anyone who does code on an ipad, what is the advantage over a mac air or similar?
