This week, Apple revealed its new range of iPad Pro tablets. As expected, we got a presentation of two models that have now arrived equipped with the M2 processor.
This is the same processor as the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, something that leads many users to wonder why these models don’t run macOS. Well, if this is your desire, then it can be fulfilled soon.
Apple is a simplified version of macOS for the iPad Pro with M2
According to monk Majin Bu, Apple will develop a simplified version of macOS. This thinking will be designed in the new iPad Pro with the M2 processor.
The new software is being developed under the internal name “Mendocino”. The source indicates that this will be part of macOS 14, however, does not say when US technology will make this version of its operating system available.
About what to expect from the new software, the leaker states that its interface should be 25% larger than usual. A change that is definitely related to the improvement of the operating system for touch control.
As for the apps, Majin Bu says the user will have to download them from the store built for iPadOS. Although the operating system is macOS, the apps must be designed for iPadOS.
The exclusivity of this new software with the iPad Pro with the M2 should only be related to Apple’s strategy. It is believed that this may be another incentive for users to buy the latest tablets from America.
Technically, we don’t see why the iPad Pro with the M1 can’t run the same OS. After all, we are talking about a processor with the same architecture and the performance difference is not that disruptive.
macOS support on the iPad Pro has been something Apple users have complained about time and time again. Since these tablets use the same processor as the MacBook, there are a few reasons why Americans don’t use the same operating system.
Moreover, macOS support will help Apple promote its “next computer” tagline for the iPad Pro. Although nothing has been confirmed, there is a possibility that soon this wish will come true.
