I'd like to see a complete file access system where everything is easily located at once: Finally, a full-computer-type feel on an iPad. Mac and iOS are starting to share a lot of files in common: desktop, documents, photos and more (if you enable it). At my Mac, I have my browser open all day with many tabs open. I'd love to see a revamped Safari that tries to be even more effective at being a do-it-all tool. Safari on the iPad, or any iOS browser, usually ends up with limitations for some work I do versus doing the same thing on a PC browser. What about other modular accessories? What if it handled Pencil-charging, instead of having the Pencil jut out of the Lightning port like a sword? Or, something that combined keyboard and trackpad, at long last, to add the type of laptop edits I've been waiting for? That would also require… A revamped more work-ready Safari browser Right now it connects to simple snap-on keyboard covers and a charging dock, and that's it. The smart connector - those little dots on the side of any iPad Pro - promises so much but does so little. The 12.9-inch iPad has a great big display but it's a really big tablet for travel. The 9.7-inch Pro, my favorite, fits well on the go but has a bit of a cramped screen for any split-screen dual-app work. If the next iPad hits the rumored 10.5-inch screen size, that would strike a nice balance between 9.7 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models. Removing bezels could be nice for landscape-mode work But can it also be my laptop? It's close, as I've said before. The iPad already serves as a really good when-I-don't-have-my-laptop laptop.
Apple's next WWDC developer conference is approaching, and among the expectations are not just iOS and Mac software, but iPad and Mac hardware. Instead, the iPad's destiny might be to ride alongside laptops and Macs, slowly glomming on new features until the inevitable day when the difference doesn't even matter. (Actually, it's been five years.) I've come to accept that that day may never come. It feels like it's been years since I dreamed of the iPad as a true laptop replacement.
