Privacy and on-chip processing.
I'm not sure how much stock we should put in that figure though. People keep Macs for a long time.
He said, Apple sold this many last year...not, Apple fans had this many last year. Those are good numbers.
You’re forgetting that Macs, having been around longer than iPads, have a huge installed base that typically doesn’t upgrade every couple of years. So lots of people are using iPads to “compliment” a Mac they already own.
That is, if they already don't own an iPhone.
The key words are "sold last year", NOT how many people had last year.
Apple will be processing some AI tasks via the cloud. It's inexcusable that those dates won't be available on older iPhones/iPads.

But why? We know iPads sell more than Macs. It stands to reason that this is the case. Look at the popularity of iPads in education and work settings — those are multi-device purchases in one go. We've seen members on this forum telling us they have an iPad in every room of their house.
Let's say, I know how people react to certain type of advertising, that people buy things they don't want, but certain impulse/urge that makes them do that. And, there's also that what-if-I-don't-have-that attitude inspired by such ads.
As I said, Apple said half their Mac users have an iPad. That isn’t all Mac users. However, they are still complimentary… like peanut butter and jelly. In our household, we buy a lot more peanut butter than jelly, so the number sold doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that certain features of each product compliment the other product. In the case of PBJ, they didn’t directly add features to make them complimentary. It just happens to be the case.
Yup, hence PRIVACY. AI is here but time will tell if Apple actually cares about their users’ privacy even if the users don’t or other companies don’t.
This is a very telling chart. I think most people would say that going back to 2011 is about the extreme edge of life for a Mac or iPad so from then through the end of 2023 there have been 731.7 million iPads sold vs 256.4 million Macs. Maybe Apple should say that Macs are a complementary device to iPads???

He literally does.
where does he say that the iPad is a compliment to the Mac? He simply said they are both complimentary and not competitors.
Yes, they complement each other. You said he didn't say the iPad was a complement or vice versa that the Mac was a complement to the iPad.
But there’s no right or wrong answer. It all depends on how the user utilize the iPad in their workflow… sometimes it can be a complimentary device, maybe a primary one… sometimes it can be an extension to the Mac.
To each their own, but I don’t think multi-tasking is the deciding factor on whether it could be a replacement for a Mac user.
I agree with you, and along those lines, I think that "solving" that issue would require it to run MacOS apps or be able to load MacOS via dual boot. Apple can't control what other companies do, so I don't see how they get the desktop version of Photoshop (one common example) on the iPad without MacOS if the third party company doesn't want to devote the time to it. Apple is trying to rewrite Final Cut to get it more on par with the desktop version and that is coming along slowly, so what hope is there that Adobe and other companies will spend time updating for the iPad?
