To be a Computer, iPad Pro Needs a Computer OS

Writing in his iPad Pro Diary series, Ben Lovejoy argues that the iPad needs a computer OS in order to be closer to a computer. He calls it “padOS.”
But while the iPad Pro isn’t trying to be a Mac, it is a grown-up device and it needs a grown-up operating system. Not macOS, but rather a tailored version of iOS, designed to take advantage of the additional capabilities of the iPad. What some people have termed padOS.
To Mr. Lovejoy I say this: Have no fear, this is what iOS 13 will be. *crosses fingers*
