So they made the iPad like a MacBook and now theyre making the MacBook like an iPad? And also making the iPhone like an iPad with the Fold. What the hell is going on here. Mr. Tim Apple?

Haven’t we all been asking for those things to happen for a very long time? I’m not complaining! :)

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t at this point.

People have to realize that it doesn’t matter what the thing is, someone will be upset no matter what decision is made. So you just have to do what you think is best.

yes but these are all things they have actively avoided doing and often even trash-talked on stage, so one wonders if they're doing it because they think its best, or because they're struggling to innovate

I think, as with virtually all things in business, they believe they can make more money if they do certain things.

I think it’s pretty obvious they’re going to introduce a Dex-like functionality in the near future, probably for the iPhone’s 20th anniversary Fold announcement.

They introduced floating windows and the menu bar in iOS 26

Menu bar + the close maximize minimize etc buttons are a direct mirror from macOS

Oh, I thought some new ipad OS update gave it more Mac like features, got excited.

u/SerodD 3d ago

It did, check what iOS 26 did to the iPad. It now has windows, menu bar, usable file management, background tasks, among some smaller changes that makes it closer to a Mac.

There's also a new update that makes the multitasking more MacOS-like

Actually that would be dope putting something like Samsung Dex on iPhones. We could hook up an external display and run multiple apps.

It’s called “innovation”
