    Even with side loading, you will still be pretty limited as the iPad is decently locked down. First of all it needs a decent window manager. That alone would go a long way.

    But honestly, these things should be running full blown macOS when they are docked to a mouse and keyboard.

    They had an 11” air at one point, so screen size can’t be the issue.

      This could be the real “pro” iPhone. Running m3, acting as a phone by itself and throwing a full macOS with Office and Adobe Cloud apps when docked.

        Yeah! Even if not an m3, the chip in the 15 pro is good enough for most people. If you really need more power then, get an m3.

        I’d love if my phone was my computer in that way.
