Apple Introduces Next-Generation iPad Pro, Supercharged by the M2 Chip

The marketing sounds familiar, just like what they said about the M1 based iPad Pro. I don't disagree with the hardware being very powerful, but its been hampered badly by software that cannot fully utilize the hardware. It may be a conscious decision by Apple to make people buy another device from their ecosystem, but to me, it is just embarrassing that the supposed hardware + software integration is so bad on the iPad ecosystem. So here we are again, same "most powerful" marketing, but even with iPad OS 16.1, I don't believe Apple will give people what they want. As you can tell, they will always hold back some crucial features that allows them to segment their products.
 
Surely at this point Apple needs to just replace the Macbook Air with this installed with MacOS. Buy a keyboard cover and call it a day.

Hell, they'll probably make more margin by selling more accessories this way too.

To be fair, I think this is something Apple has gotten down to a science. Drawing on the 13" iPad Pro is such a pleasant experience and I haven't seen really any devices that are comparable.

Apple's not that stupid. There is a very good reason why they kept the OS for touch devices and non-touch devices separate even though that much of the kernel that drives the two are the same. There really is no such thing as a UI that excels at both and Apple knows that. You don't have to look further than just about every implementation trying to strike the right balance between the touch experience and the desktop experience. If I want to use my iPad like a computer, I probably already have my laptop with me and can use it as a second monitor when I'm on the go.
