If there’s one thing Apple fans have long faulted the iPad for, it’s its limitations because of its operating system. While Apple has been trying to make iPadOS as close to PC systems as possible in recent years (albeit, of course, while retaining its basic mobile principles and touch controls), it still hasn’t quite succeeded, and its tablets, unfortunately, continue to lag somewhat behind compared to Macs. However, the iPadOS 16 should hopefully bring a new feature that brings them solidly closer to the Macs.

This means that apps can interact with de facto like their desktop versions on the desktop. However, this is a feature that will be very performance-intensive, so it will probably be exclusive to iPads equipped with Apple M1 chipsets.
