There’s a lot of talk these days about the possibility of Apple attempting to market a hybrid device between iPad and Mac with some sort of combination between iPadOS and macOS.

Duration They deny that they plan to develop such a device from Apple.The latest technological additions to the latest iPad models – Smart Connector, trackpad, mouse… – show that a tablet with the macOS operating system will be more than possible.

After the release of the original iPhone, all media seemed to agree that this would be the name of the first Apple tablet. iTablet. I had logic. If a phone (Phone) was marketed as “iPhone”, why wasn’t a tablet released under the name “iTablet”?

iTablet, an iPad concept before the birth of the tablet

Before Apple revolutionized the tech world by introducing the first tablet in history, there were many rumors about what the birth of the iPad would be.

Actually, even some developers, graphic designers and artists were encouraged to create their own iPad concepts. using all the rumors circulating on the internet at the time about the tablet with the signature of the bitten apple logo.

Today we’re rescuing one of the iPad concepts that popped up on the internet. The original iPad released in March 2011. This is a device concept called the “iTablet” that combines the Mac’s operating system with the portability and touchscreen advantages of the iPad.

iPad concept called iTablet

The concept in question tells us about an iTablet with 1 GHz PowerPC G4, 300 MHZ Bus and 60 GB HD. Also a CD reader and in addition to 512 MB of memory pen and a touch screen.

We will most likely never know whether a device exists or not. hybrid between macOS and iPadOS how this will be successful in today’s market. As we mentioned earlier, Apple does not seem convinced to develop such a terminal, as it already a wide variety of alternatives in its iPad and Mac product lines.

Regardless, this isn’t the first time we’ve discovered some rumors that an iPad running the macOS operating system might be released. Before going any further, a few months ago from the inside known as “Majin boo” It has leaked that Apple will be working on a smaller version of macOS specifically for an iPad Pro with the M2 chip, but that this could only be an internal test.
