All iPads The iPad will never be a Mac, and the Mac will never be an iPad

[Kal Madda]

iPads will never be Macs and Macs will never be iPads. 100% fact.

If that was all you said, then I’d probably agree with you (though I would say “likely never”, but not 100% fact, as unless we have a Time Machine and can go into the future, we cannot know this to be true beyond any shadow of a doubt), but that isn’t all you’ve claimed. You claim that the iPad can’t run Mac-level software, which is simply not true. It’s definitely possible for iPads to run desktop-level software like Microsoft Office with all the desktop level features. Nobody needs a Mac Studio or Mac Pro in order to run Office, the only reason it isn’t at feature parity on the iPad is because Microsoft decided not to bring it to feature parity, not because the iPad’s hardware just couldn’t handle running desktop-level Office.

Fact is too, the more the iPad comes to being a Mac, the better it will be. As Julie Clover said:
