The iPad’s biggest weakness has been its OS. To this day. Hardware always very solid, albeit “fragmented” with a ridiculous 3 pencil and connected keyboard ecosystem… but more or less solid.
Seriously. Now that the rumored 12in MacBook is coming back it seems even more silly that my M2 iPad Pro can’t run MacOS or something close to it. If I could run desktop applications like Sketch on my iPad I would never bring my MacBook anywhere.

That’s why they won’t upgrade the OS. They want you to own ALL the devices and be stuck in the ecosystem.
It’s annoying because you hear “they don’t want to cannibalize MacBook sales”, but it doesnt work like that. The kind of person that wants a Surface Pro is different than the person that wants a dedicated laptop or tablet. But there aren’t enough Apple users that are that technologically inclined so here we are.
