Wild rumor claims macOS 14 is coming to the M2 iPad Pro

File this a person below Too Insane to Ignore: A leaker on Twitter statements that Apple is doing the job on a “smaller model of macOS” that will operate “exclusively” on the new M2 iPad Pro future year.

We’re with you—there are a ton of explanations to be skeptical. For a person, the leaker, Majin Bu, doesn’t have a great deal of a keep track of document outside of circumstance leaks and the nevertheless-to-be-confirmed 14-inch iPad. For another, there’s incredibly minimal proof that Apple is operating to merge the iPad and Mac strains other than the two sharing the exact Stage Manager feature in iPadOS 16 and Ventura. And eventually, restricting these types of a dramatic modify to a single iPad Pro product would increase the ire of numerous buyers.

But nevertheless, it is an appealing, if not exciting rumor. The iPad Pro continues to be a product with untapped potential, with a screaming speedy processor, spectacular Advertising display screen, Thunderbolt, and Face ID. Having said that, while there are a few functions in iPadOS 16 that are exceptional to M1-driven iPads, Apple hasn’t seriously elevated the iPad Pro previously mentioned its other significantly less-expensive iPads.

Bu claims that the “simplified” variation of macOS 14 will have “a 25% larger sized macOS UI” which is presumably optimized for touch. But considering the fact that iPadOS previously supports trackpad navigation with the Magic Keyboard, the normal macOS expertise wouldn’t want to improve. And now that Apple has additional Stage Supervisor to both of those iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura, there is something of a unified navigation technique as perfectly.

So probably it’s not so outrageous. As it stands there aren’t a ton of explanations to purchase an iPad Professional more than an iPad Air, and a “lite” edition of macOS would totally shake issues up in a significant way. We won’t know if this rumor is genuine till Apple uvneils the upcoming version of macOS at WWDC in June—or until Mark Gurman or Ming-Chi Kuo corroborates it—but for now, we’re joyful to preserve dreaming.
