And it still won't have a proper OS

Yeap, until iPads can run Mac OS who cares.

macos would be ok, though I think Apple needs to make a new OS combining ipados and macOS

The main problem in ipados is how not capable it is.. if you're a developer you'd realise how limited APIs Apple gives..

I'd take Windows any day here. It's really the best OS for 2 in 1s.. But sadly devs don't update their apps with WinUI and instead use some ancient Win32

Pretty much this. I love my iPad pro but it can never fully replace a fully functioning Macbook unfortunately.

I can’t get round the paywall with either Internet Archive or 12 ft Ladder.

Anyone else have better luck?

I have often wondered why apple didnt make larger, 'surface' style ipad. Even an A3 size pad could be amazing for draftspeople. But as others have said, Infant OS needs to be radically changed, or replaced.

It's a new ipad. It's the same but bigger and newer chip. Probably also found a way to say they have innovated by making the screen larger.

Thanks for that.
