    The A17 Pro is pretty close to the M1 in benchmarks, and that’s more than enough for most users. Presumably it’d still be iOS, so existing knowledge and experience would apply, they’re just need to design and test their UIs for larger landscape screens, which they may already be doing for iPads.

      Could it handle doing that all day? That would so cool, but aren’t there thermal limitations?

        Probably not, for reasons you stated. But for a typical workload I doubt that would even matter. If you would have otherwise considered a MacBook air, this would still probably be a sufficient replacement.
