Many users, including myself, consider that the new iPad Pro could have been a device to consider in the future, when I have to renew my MacBook Air, as long as it was managed by an operating system that will allow me to interact as in OS X, but with the ease of iOS. iOS is very good but I still consider it a device to consume content, it does not facilitate my work, I see it as clumsy to replace laptops and desktops as Tim Cook said a few days ago, before the launch of the iPad Pro worldwide.
But the Cupertino-based guys are still in their thirteen and say for now it is not in the company's plans to converge both operating systems, despite the fact that Microsoft is doing it with the arrival of Windows 10 to mobile devices and desktops and laptops. For Cook, both devices are designed to be used in completely different ways than what some users expect, although the new iPad Pro does seem to have been aimed at a professional sector thanks to the new Apple Pencil accessory and the new keyboard with folding cover . Many benchmarks are already comparing the performance capabilities of the new iPad Pro with the results obtained in some iPad Air models from a couple of years ago.
Cook states that:
We are convinced that our customers are not looking for a Mac on the iPad. Our concern is that the experience that the user wants is not what they really expect. We want to continue being the king in the tablet market and continue to sell many Macs, but if we are united, we are sure not to succeed.
Our clients use both operating systems taking advantage of the characteristics of each one and thanks to Handoff we want the transition from one device to another to be much easier.
Cycle iPad renewal among users is much larger than the iPhone, unless our main use of the iPad is work issues we always need to have the latest model.
Well, man, what they say that 'their customers do not look for a Mac on an iPad for the user experience'. The truth is that if you offer OS X on an iPad it would be a new experience and with what was and is its flagship OS and with which Apple earned the good reputation it has. I still remember my iPod with iOS and then I saw that they had put calling and messaging functions to it to compete with the pocket pc and they swept them, OLE. Now Microsoft returns to the fray with the latest Lumia but would finish the job with a Surface Phone. But it is also true that now Apple offers these experiences, totally respectable, but it is also true that if you have the iPad Pro and an iPhone (iPad Air or mini, optional) that carry iOS and although not so much anymore, they still depend on iTunes with what you need a PC or a Mac and of course, you are not going to buy a MacBook because you already have the screen of an iPad Pro (reason is to say that it will replace ultrabooks and their uses, you just have to look at the rest of manufacturers that now release 2 in 1 or convertibles) and then you will buy a Mac mini or a Mac Pro, OLE, OLE and OLE, to have a powerful equipment and be able to connect it to the TV, heavy work, etc. but with different content from Apple TV to tempt you to buy one. If these Apple have it all well thought out, so in a few years they may announce that iOS is mature or strong enough to create OS X touch. Luckily their products are good upwards and we also have this paraphernalia that is entertaining as hell.
