After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
As stated in the thread title, is iOS too weak of an OS to be used on an iPad Pro in 2018?
I’d like to see a pro version similar to what Microsoft does with their surface.
iPad Pro is still a niche device that caters a niche audience.
When I look at it from an artist or writers, it is very powerful device with so many awesome apps and the Apple Pencil.
Also, with powerful apps to edit photos, it is a great tool for amateur/hobbyist photographers too. Reason I say amateur/hobbyist is because some photographers may have specific workflows that could be hard for them to bring it to the iPad Pro.
The trouble comes for folks who are say software engineers or power users who require desktop programs to which iPad Pro becomes a useless device and can only be used as a companion.
With respect to iOS, yes, iPad Pro could be the best productive tablet ever built if only if Apple can cater iOS for the iPad Pros!
Well said!

iPad Pro wants to be unique in the sense that it wants to do the things it can without getting all of the desktop overhead and cater for new generation of work tools be it in the creative space or productivity space. It's like a culture change and it's already doing a lot of that.Let’s say that many of us fall into the power user category. With that being said, shouldn’t the “pro” model iPad also cater to professionals like us?
I’ve thought form the start that the “Pro” should run OSX to compete directly with the Microsoft Surface devices.

Yep, Apple sells something called a MacBook that does all of those thingsiPad “Pros” should be able to access network resources natively, ie no work around needed. The USB port shouldn’t be limited.
MS Office should not be limited.
