These designs should come as theme along with older ones so that users can use whatever they like. (Ex: skeumorphic design from first iphone)

After all, the iPad Pro with 1TB or 2TB internal storage has 16GB of RAM, making the transition more than possible.

Huawei and Xiaomi,
now support PC-Level WPS Office, Work with Ms Office Docs, Sheets, PPT.
Xiaomi and Oppo also support connectivity to iPad, iPhone and Mac.
Can AirDrop.
otherwise, i dont see the function of getting MacOS UI/UX but not Software Function nor Full Office Suite.

The upgrade would be great. Just curious whether it will run smoothly on the base iPad especially Gen 8 and 9.

Awesome. Can't wait for it.
Finally it feels a bit more like a work machine. It feels like I don't have to bring an additional laptop with me.
Let's see it in practical use in fall.
I really like the new overall design language. Good update!

Lol.. Sooooo long for them .. See the fanboys screaming what break thru... what innovation.. on social media and yt)
This should have been done long long time ago.. Just copy macOS. Simple as that.
1. Took them long enough to accept the arrow pointer, NO snap on icons.
2. Took them long enough to accept NOT to snap on Windows to the corners.
3. Took them long enough to accept lower end iPads to allow this feature.
4. Took them long enough to accept Stage manger is bad, and never a good usage of screen..
5. Took them long enough to finally allow USEFUL background task.
Now, lets wait another decade for the following features.. (They can fire their entire innovating team without impact.. Just spend 12 years copying all the features and drip feed their fanboys..)
1. Multitask Audio source. (Each App can playback their audio without stopping) - Simple stuff that macOS / Windows have since the 90s.
2. Clamshell mode
3. Multi Desktop / Multi display

I sold my iPad Pro on M chip a while ago because on paper its crazy good but that stupid Calculator OS is ruining everything just let us install MacOS and that crazy capable hardware will not be a waste!

Wow, after 15 years, this is what Apple has in mind for the iPad, aka the Surface Pro. Embarassing. Zero vision, zero innovation, all they can think of how to justify charging people thousands of dollars for an iPad.
Listening to the users? Jobs wouldn't have that. Now Apple is just trying to mimic macOS UI on the iPad because they have no vision on what they want to do with the iPad.
Putting macOS UI on the iPad is not innovation. Did they even forget what Jobs wanted the iPad to be? It's to be a device between the iPhone and mac, to be the "computer" for mere mortals. There's a reason when Jobs was around, he maintained the best (only) iPad at $499. It's supposed to be a new concept of a computing device for mere mortals. The only thing the current Apple can think of is how to mark up existing products at higher prices. iPad -> iPad Pro. Apple Watch -> Watch Ultra. iPhone -> Pro Max. And so on. Software quality is going downhill. The only lifting the company is just the silicon team.

Apple could have given the possibility of running native macOS inside the M-series iPad Air/Pro, yet they still think that doing so would hurt or cannibalize the MacBook sales, which isn't going to happen.

David, 09 Jun 2025Windows Vista Aero from 2007!I mean, it shouldn't have ever left. The late 00's was peak UI.
Now time for KDE to pull the Oxygen theme out of hibernation and give it a 20's update.

I'm pretty surprised, "Liquid Glass" would be a beter fit for their future foldable display... But they only use "Liquid" for their non-AMOLED, right?
Anyway, that name is dumb
