AI, Mobile, and Eveything Around the Cloud

Most iPad Pro users appreciate Apple's effort to give us reasons to get the iPad Pro.

And so far, Apple has decided to make iPadOS more, well, iOS-like rather an allow the M1 and M2 iPads run MacOS. All the while, Apple is trying to increase a segment of users who want to only use their iPad Pro as...
