Apple's flagship tablet may get a major upgrade next year. Per industry tipster Mark Gurman, Apple will equip the next version of the iPad Pro with the company's upcoming M3 chip, the same silicon rumored to debut in MacBooks later this year.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-M3-chips-OLED-screens-may-come-to-iPad-Pro-next-year.744478.0.html
Not sure what the point is, other than to keep justifying the iPad Pro's high price tag - hardware was never the issue for iPads, the current M2 used is already overkill given the software/apps used on this device, faster hardware does nothing to solve that issue.

The moment I was closest to switch to Apple was when I saw the iPad Pro. But when I learned that it wouldn't run MacOS, forcing me to also buy a Mac (with the same processor!), I gave up.
And it still runs on a glorified iOS for tablets. So much for "your next computer is not a laptop". 🙄

Couldn't agree more. Since the 2021/2022 iPad Pro use the same Silicon SoC as MacBooks, there's absolutely no reason for it not to have macOS. Microsoft never has any problem putting Windows on their Surface tablets, including the Surface Go lineup.
