Apple's iPadOS 26, featuring a Mac-like experience with enhanced multitasking and window management, signals a convergence between iPads and Macs. While the new features are impressive, the author argues that iPads and Macs are practically identical in hardware and functionality and should fully merge, especially with Apple's Vision headset on the horizon. The author believes this integration is crucial for a streamlined product line and better user experience, despite Apple's past statements against such a merger.
