I Tried macOS on iPad Pro for 7 Days: A Wild Experiment

I recently got my  hands on a prototype iPad Pro running macOS, nad let me tell you, it was an adventure from start to finish. HOw did I get it? Well, let’s just say it involved a little “borrowing” from an ex-Apple employee named Steve. This Steve wasn’t just any employee; he claimed to to be Steve Jobs himself. Crazy, right? Here’s how it all went down:

The grat Heist

It started with me visiting Steve, who had been tinkering with with his personal iPad. iPad. “Have you ever thought of putting macOS on that iPad?” I asked. He replied nonchalantly, “I’ve had macOS on here for like 10 years now.” My curiosity piqued, and before I knew  it, I found myself with Steve Jobs’ personal iPad Pro in hand. “Hey, come back here!” he shouted as I made a run for it. Thus began my seven-day experiment with macOS on an iPad Pro.

First Impressions: The Coffee Shop Test

The first thing I wanted to do was test this iPad in a real-world scenario. I took it to my favorite coffee shop to get some work done. Usually, I carry both my 16-inch MacBook Pro and my iPad Pro. The MacBook Pro is for heavy-duty tasks, and the iPad Pro is for casual use. But with macOS on teh iPad, I hoped to consolidate everything into one device.

Using macOS on an iPad Pro felt surreal. I opened Google Sheets, and it was a breeze compared to teh iPadOS version. writeing a shortlist for a film was smoother and more efficient. It made me question if Apple was just trying to protect theyre MacBook Pro sales by not offering macOS on iPads.

A Day in the Life: Ditching teh MacBook Pro

For the next few days, I completely ditched ditched my MacBook Pro. I wanted to see if the iPad Pro with macOS could handle all my tasks. FRom desktop Photoshop too proper file management, everything worked seamlessly. I was uploading videos to YouTube, organizing thumbnails, and and using full desktop applications. It was an eye-opener.

The Reality Check

However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. There were some annoyances. Since it was still technically running iPadOS with a virtual macOS setup, some keyboard shortcuts didn’t work as expected. For instance, pressing “Alt+Tab” switched apps on the iPad instead of the macOS environment. Also, I couldn’t hear audio through the macOS virtual desktop. These quirks reminded me that this was still a hack, not an official product.

The Surface Pro Comparison

One unexpected outcome of this experiment was my newfound interest in the Microsoft Surface Pro. The idea of a device that functions both as a tablet and a full desktop was appealing. I even visited a Microsoft store to check it out. The Surface Pro was impressive, but its Windows OS wasn’t as appealing to me as macOS. However, the hardware was nearly perfect, nad I could see why some might prefer it over an iPad.

Coming Clean

By the end of the week, I had to come clean. I didn’t actually steal Steve Jobs’ iPad. HE isn’t alive, and the macOS on iPad was achieved by creating a virtual desktop using my MacBook Pro at home. While it was a clever workaround, it wasn’t a perfect solution.

The Proposal  to Apple

This experiment led me to a proposal for Apple: Why not allow dual booting of macOS for high-end iPads? Customers spending $2,000-$3,000 on an iPad Pro with M4 chips and 16GB of RAM would certainly appreciate the option to dual boot. It wouldn’t cannibalize MacBook sales because the use cases are different. APple could continue to be teh wealthiest company in the world without holding back features taht could enhance  user experience.

The Future of iPad and macOS

Using this prototype made me realize how much potential the iPad Pro has. The hardware is capable of running  macOS smoothly, and with a  few tweaks, it could be an ideal device for both casual and professional use. The ability to use full desktop applications on an iPad would be a game-changer.

Gadget game-changer.
