Will it run OSX or IOS?


I would guess MacOS. In case this is the reason you're asking, we know that it's possible to run MacOS on an A series chip because of the Developer Transition Kit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A12X#Developer_Transitio...

IIRC the A series chips lack the features necessary for efficient virtualization, but of course there's a large market for people who never run a VM on their laptop.


Thanks. So theoretically, an iPad could run MacOS.


Recent iPads have M series chips, so same as a Macbook anyway.


I just don't get why they don't produce a tablet Mac. Seems like a slam dunk to me
