CEO of the company Apple, Tim Cook, attended an educational technical lecture last month Applu in Chicago, where he talked about a completely unimaginable idea for many of us, which one of the attendees asked him about. That is, to merge the Mac and iPad into one device. According to him, he has a rather negative attitude towards this idea. Moreover, he confirmed his words from 2015 that Apple does not intend to introduce such a hybrid device.

"I don't believe it would do any good. Both are incredible machines and do exactly what they were designed to do well. If we wanted to merge them into one product, we would have to make compromises. We provide people with amazing technology to help them change the world and empower them to express their passion and creativity.” he let himself Cook heard for The Sydney Morning Herald and continued: "I use a Mac at work, I have an iPad for home and travel. I use everything and love everything. We have to try to do things that these two machines in one could never do. That's why we're trying to make the best tablet in the world and Mac."
So it is clear from these words that Mac and iPad will continue to be different products. If Apple Something they intend to continue to improve is the continuity across all platforms. Almost four years ago, they introduced the feature Handoff, which helps bridge the gap between brand devices Apple. And it doesn't matter whether it's iPhone, Mac, iPad or Apple WatchThings could move even further with the arrival of iOS 12 and MacOS 10.14. There has been speculation for some time that Apple is preparing support for universal applications that can be run on both the system iOS, as well as on macOS. This news would Apple saved many developers work, who would no longer have to work on two versions of the same application. However, this innovation would also be a great benefit for customers themselves, who would not have to get used to the different control of two applications and would also get computer versions of applications such as Messenger or Instagram, which can now only be replaced through various alternatives.
In other words, why would we do it when we can force you to buy both devices separately and earn more..
Or in other words, a Mac wouldn't be a good iPad and an iPad wouldn't be a good Mac. Here with CookI will extinguish it.
But dragging a Mac around just because I'm worried my iPad won't be able to handle everything is stupid. It means that the iPad, by extension, iOS more sophisticated applications were made.
And how would you imagine it? ?
iOS and MacOS on one device?
Or if we just stay with iOS, then such a device has long existed, you just need to buy a keyboard for the iPad?
