this The iPad has become a true personal computer over time.. It is true that it is not a classic computer to use, it has pros and cons, but it is a device that can be used professionally, especially with the arrival of the iPad Pro. However, most people see the operating system as too big. A con for the iPad.

iPads have iPadOS, a system designed for the touchscreen that works differently from macOS. However, macOS should be fully compatible with current iPad Pros, as they use the same chip as MacBooks. And although Apple has resisted it, A new leak suggests macOS may be coming to iPad next year.

The iPad Pro is so capable, will we ever see macOS on the iPad?

A lightweight version of macOS for iPad

Filter Resources Majin buu shared this Apple is working on a “smaller” version of macOS just for the iPad Pro M2. It is said to be codenamed Mendocino and will be released as macOS 14 in 2023.

According to reports, currently macOS UI is 25% larger to optimize for a touch mode. Although the system is macOS, the apps will be those of the iPad.

According to my source, Apple is only testing a smaller version of macOS for the new iPad Pro M2. macOS 14 should be codenamed “Mendocino”. A simplified version should be planned for M2.

According to the leaker, this is Announcing the arrival of DaVinci Resolve for iPd Pro M2 onlyA patent for a future version of iPadOS with Mac graphics was leaked earlier this year.

Of course, keep in mind that this is internal testing only. It doesn’t make much sense for Apple to change the interface of iPadOS because most users don’t have the issue. what is required is that macOS apps can run on an iPad Pro.. Especially Apple apps like Logic Pro, Xcode or FinalCut Pro.
