Apple's iPadOS 19 at WWDC is rumored to be a more macOS-like update, with boosts to multitasking and productivity potentially making the tablet even more of a workhorse.
They wouldn’t have to go that far. Windows 10 was able to correct a lot of the mistakes of Windows 8 doing that while still allowing for users to have a desktop experience, such as that Start Menu screen you could bring up for a better touch experience.
Users have been begging Apple for a touch screen Mac before the iPad with companies even making touch screen MacBooks as well as touch screen peripherals. Especially with a lot of Mac users being artists or developers who would benefit from having touch abilities natively in macOS.
The demand is there. But the real reason Apple won’t is because it’ll cut into their profits.
