Someday, I'd like to meet the (presumably) singular Apple employee that demands a more powerful iPad get made every year. What is this guy doing, rizzing up Qwen while he plays Genshin Impact?
The value prop for this kind of device eludes me. Will be nice once the GPU tech reaches the Mac lineup, at least.
What else would you expect Appld to do? Keep making last years chips for no reason? They use the same processors in Macs as they do iPads except for the base iPad and the mini.
Besides there are video, graphic and sound editing apps that take advantage of the processor.
And what do you mean when it reaches Mac? There are already M5 Macs
if we’re going to fantasize about Apple employees, the one I heard is that there are iPads running macOS, but it turns out they’re not very good at it for some reason, and that’s why they haven’t released it.
Reading the headline, I wasn’t sure if Apple had produced hardware that met the guys expectations, or were overstating their performance.
Given that it seems to be the former (at least in the tests run), perhaps “the hyped performance turned out to be real” might be less ambiguous…
Oh, and well done Apple, niwbget the M5 into Macs where this might be more useful…

The M5 is in Macs already. I saw M5 MacBook Pros at Costco a couple weeks ago.

Why did "Improve iOS software" not come to your mind when you decided to jump to big corps defense here?
