Ideal iPad (mostly about OS and accessories):
- 14" Display
- M3 with 24 GB of memory
- 2 TB flash storage
- 14 Hours Battery (4 more hours)
- Magic Keyboard that can fold mostly flat so that I don't have to remove the iPad from it to use the pencil (obviously it won't ever fold fully flat but it can fold much flatter)
- Files app that caches everything in my iCloud Drive locally so I don't ever have to wait for it to load things from the internet
- Stage manager
- Give me Mission Control or something like it to manage moving apps between stages
- Split View + Slide-over - let it work as part of expanding to external displays
- Remove the App Store app requirements and let me side load apps for development (Or open up the App Store to things like PyTorch, Tensorflow, Cocoapods, etc...)
- Full Xcode
Generally I use my iPad all the time and love it.
The most annoying thing is actually the Files App. I hate the way that saving or browsing or opening anything on iPad OS has to wait so everything seems to take so long. The files app should let me cache everything locally so that I never have to wait for the file system... Saving from the internet is also rather slow.
