I have some hopes and dreams, although some may consider some of these as nightmares.
I would like a MacBookPro/iPadPro hybrid. Take the body of a 13" MBP and replace the screen with a removable 12.9" iPad Pro. Sort of like how the Brydge keyboard connects to an iPad, but Apple engineers could make this little more elegant. When you remove the iPad, it acts as an iPad. When you connect the iPad, it functions as a MBP (including mouse functions). It uses the facial recognition of the iPad and as well as retaining the touch ID of the MBP. Additionally, the Touch Bar would have a toggle so that you could choose which mode you would like to use when the iPad is attached. Say you’re in MBP mode but want to edit some photos using an iPad app. Just toggle and you’re in iPad mode. Additionally, there would be some sort of “shelf” function for transferring files between the two OSes. There is more but I haven’t worked out all of the details yet. Note: I understand that version 1 would be quite heavy, I expect future versions may be a little lighter. I am happy with the trade-off for now.
If the hybrid is not a reality in 2020, I would like to be able to connect my iPadPro to my Mac Mini and when I do this the following will automatically happen: 1-the monitor resolution will be set to my pre-configured settings; 2-the Apple keyboard and mouse will be ready to go. 3-there is a keyboard shortcut to toggle between Mac OS and iPad OS. 4- when I disconnect the iPad, I am back in Mac OS with my standard screen resolution, etc retained.
If neither of the above two hopes/dreams are realized in 2020, I would like:
- a standard Mac cursor when using a mouse with an iPad in Accessibility mode
- full Apple Magic Mouse support in iPad OS
- bring Apple Health App to iPad OS and Mac OS
That is all for now. Thank you.
