I agree iPadOS is not good enough, but when I hear people call for Apple to merge devices and troll them for maximizing profits, I have to roll my eyes.

Okay, let's add background task processing, hungrier apps like Xcode, more simultaneous apps. I guess we'll need more memory and compute resources, and so therefore we'll need more battery, too.

So now I have a 2 lb iPad that doesn't have enough internal space to cool itself. Great. Thanks internet.



8/16GB iPad Pros have 40Wh batteries. 8/16/24GB M3 MacBook Airs have 49-52Wh batteries. Don’t be melodramatic.
