Apple will be working on a simplified version of macOS for the iPad Pro with the M2.

The recently announced iPad Pro with the M2 chip, may soon run macOS. Or at least the “small” or simplified version of the operating system that Apple includes with its Macs. a leak Majin Buuwhich usually leaks information about the Cupertino company’s next products, says it will be testing a scaled-down version of macOS codenamed “Mendocino” that will include important differences from macOS 14.

Leaker Claims iPad Pro Version of macOS with M2 Chip will have 25% more user interfacee than the traditional version of macOS. Presumably to adapt it to the touch interface. It also emphasizes that despite the fact that the operating system will be macOS, supported apps will be those currently available for the iPad.

More details about this possible simplified version of macOS for the iPad Pro with M2 are not known at this time. For example, it’s not clear if it will also be possible to run programs or apps designed for macOS.. Or, if the implementation of this operating system is nothing more than offering the options included in the operating system for Mac, among them the ability to customize and resize windows, create different desktops, add multiple users, etc.

Majin Bu also didn’t say if this possible version of macOS would also be available for the iPad Pro with the M1 chip, an SoC that, remember, is also included with some Macs.

The iPad Pro has always had every chance of becoming a touch Mac.

The truth is, we’ve spent years thinking about possible integration of macOS into iPad Pro, despite the fact that until now there was no information about him. Apple, however, seems to have been planning this for years, and the big progress it has made with its most professional iPads is proof of that.

The recently announced iPad Pro, for example, is equipped with one of the company’s most powerful processors. In fact, it’s the same processor used in the redesigned MacBook Air as well as the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple has also equipped the iPad Pro with different versions of built-in memory. up to 2 TB. The new models also have up to 16 GB RAM.

Nonetheless, iPadOS has never been up to what the iPad Pro is capable of. The operating system version does not take full advantage of the M2 chip, there are not even applications available that could be perfectly compatible with this model, such as Premier Pro. Let’s hope that a possible simplified version of macOS will solve these small inconveniences.
