this is exactly what i thought, apple is going to make a mac that is like a surface pro
an ipad/mac
all in one
but not only they are going to merge the hardware but also ios and mac os sofware, is very obvious and predictable,
apple is also going touch screen with that
the best way to innovate is to steal “borrow” an old idea from your rival
another sign that tim cook has to go
yes they are making changes
but that is not innovation
it might be new for apple but is not new for the rest of the world
they don’t know what else to do
well let’s just destroy mac os
tim has never been a desktop computer kind of guy
so what is the best way to replace a computer after that horrendous comment that he made afew years ago
oh yeah, an ipad/mac os hybrid with and ipad/mac os hybrid os can replace a computer
tim tim tim
what bad way to ruin a party
big sur, the begining of the end
Your thinking is shareable in many points, if you keep it as a prediction of something that will happen exactly like this.
I hope that in "taking" an idea had by others before, they have the foresight to adapt it to the present and the future, above all, therefore implementing improvements compared to what it was originally and that the production limits of time imposed, both on the plane hardware than software. In a field like that of those devices, the optimized synergy between hardware and software changes the effects of use in a miraculous way.
Of course it is true that if the "POP" necessity will push downwards, seeing in the maxi iPad is a plausible risk, but here too, I hope that Apple has reasoned in terms of who buys. For example, if I have the possibility of having an iPad that has the advantages of portability, I will never buy a device that loses those advantages, if it does not have much much more to offer me (and this would apply even if the prices were close), above all when the operating system is expected to run the same software on both platforms.
In short, in your opinion there are all the risks that you run in a possible maneuver of this kind, but that if it had been hypothesized, for how many balances it moves in the market, it cannot have been thought of with a vision of the context and the future proportional to the size of Apple, which although it will have lost the visionary nature of the times of Jobs, must still face, as a production company, a competitive context that is among the most difficult in industry and services.
I just hope that it does not resort too much to maintain its soil to an excessive closure within its ecosystem. A path that tends to pursue (because it is very easy), in proportion to the exclusivity of what they offer, all companies in highly competitive and highly technological sectors.
However, a practice that goes against the needs of the professional sectors that use the products of those companies, which instead need to be able to freely move on all the possible functions regardless of the brand that offers them, always choosing what achieves the best results.
So it would be desirable, just to make, as example, a USB4 instead of Tunderbolt or other personal solutions such as the already seen on Apple and so on ...
Only time will tell if they thought "Big" (as BIG SUR(face?)'s "BIG" also says), bringing the POP to the PRO or thinking downward, forcing the PRO to the POP.
