Starting at $799 or $1,099, depending on the model, the 2021 iPad Pro is Apple’s first tablet that shares the same powerful processor with four MacBooks. The Apple M1 System-on-Chip (SoC) that Apple introduced in November has been widely praised, inducing a terrifying nightmare over at Intel — the chipmaker has been attacking Apple’s M1 laptops in ad campaigns for a few months. The M1 is faster than anything Apple made so far and more energy-efficient than competing chips that you’d see in laptops. It’s so good that Apple decided to use the M1 in both the new iPad Pro and iMac, products that were unveiled only last Tuesday.
This prompted speculation again that the iPad and Mac are on converging paths. Fans are again wondering when the iPad will run macOS, now that it shares the same hardware as Macs. Not only that, but macOS looks and feels a lot like iOS after the Big Sur update. In a new round of interviews, Apple insisted that it has no plans to unify the two different platforms. The iPad and Mac have different purposes, and Apple will continue to make the best possible tablet and computer experiences it can. But these interviews might have revealed the iPad Pro’s secret feature that Apple can’t even talk about yet.
