Apple has progressively integrated Mac-like features into the iPad, culminating with the 2024 iPad Pro update that enhances usability without overwhelming users. Key updates include the introduction of optional windowing features and careful presentation that avoids direct comparisons to macOS. This strategic positioning suggests a potential overlap between the iPad Pro and MacBook Air, raising questions about their distinct roles while maintaining Apple’s dual-product strategy. Users may be inclined to view them as increasingly interchangeable, particularly with the updated iPadOS features.
"In 2020, the Magic Keyboard brought an extra port and a full trackpad to the iPad. In 2022, external display support was introduced, and in 2024, the webcam was moved in portrait mode."
"The new windowing feature is optional and hidden by default, preserving the simplicity of the iPad interface while introducing enhanced functionality for those who seek it."
