What about an iPadOS?
http://m.imore.com/imagining-ipad-os
This article was very interesting in how it compared the Apple iWatch recieving it's own OS but since it's release the iPad has always used the originally phone based iOS (in an abeit expanded form if apps are made for iPad exclusively.)
From an iOS music production point of view I thought if there was an OS specifically FOR the iPad hardware & feature set exclusively, what benefits would that bring us?
Since all signs point to Apple continuing to keep iOS universal for iPhones & iPads, I'm curious if most of us are cool with that (being users of both devices) or are there iPad only users who'd welcome an OS specifically made for the more capable iPad range?

- Yes. An OS that's made to take full advantage of the iPad hardware would be ideal.43.48%
- No. I use both iPhones & iPads in my music production and the OS being universal is a benefit.56.52%

I'd be interested in any potential benefits brought by an iPadOS but only if it wasn't at the expense of music on the small screen (particularly in terms of available music making related APIs and developer overhead).
I'm rite pissed about my Auria Pro not working worth shit lately I have to divert here for a moment. What was the question?
OK I'm done. All apologies
I want an iPad OS! Especially with the Pro versions now they need to expand the software capabilities.
Which iOS version are you on? I was cemented in my decision to keep my Air 2 at 10.2 but begrudgingly updated to 10.2.1 in hopes it would finally cure the Air 2 rotation bug.
Haven't had the bug pop up, so good...but it made Auria Pro start to run shitty, not good.
This is why I thought maybe an OS for each device category would be best so if an iPhone related situation arose the entire iDevice platform wouldn't have to reshuffle the deck too...
It could be possible for iPad pro as "value proposition" more than powerhouse but I suspect it's happening right now with split view and so.
I don't expect an Apple breaking its own ecosystem but who knows?
iOS is already customized for iPad, meaning there are certain features that only work on iPad.
What we need is more customizations that are useful and take advantage of the screen space. A "new OS" would be kind of a waste of effort. It isn't the OS that is broken, it is the user interface and the lack of smarter ways of using the touch screen and larger space.
It is astonishingly bad to think about how lacking in innovation the iOS experience is on an iPad. Apple can do so much better, and they don't even need to make a new OS.
Agreed.
That's probably what's going to happen.
See why I wan't cheering when Korg announced Gadget on macOS? My first thought wasn't the large expense, it was the tedium of having to go back to using that lumbering thing again.
Addendum: and by the way, I've been a loyal mac power-user since they came out - I still have a (probably now not working) original Mac Plus (and ext floppy drive) up in the sedimentary attic. (Might be a Mac Plus, might be one of the two preceding models, but I don't think so). It got dropped on the road when we moved into this house, decades ago, so it has a bit of a graze on a case corner, which is a shame.
Good point. The devil's advocate point in that & other articles was instead of an OS for each Apple device (Macs, iPads & iPhones) was a universal OS for everything (sort of what Windows is trying).
@Hmtx brings up another point that instead of constant"new" this & "new" that regarding OS's Apple could maximize what they have. You see it in the way certain apps introduce new ideas & innovation with the existing set up; if iOS was pushed along a bit to take advantage of the expanse of the Pro's screen real estate & the new (whatever it will be called, Air 3 or Pro 9.7) models chip speed & RAM, they could push the envelope & keep it "universal".
If they go with ios on Mac, they are going to have to completely rejig the ios interface. They would probably lose what corpororate clients they have, because all the apps that people have written and rely on would cease functioning. You would go from having a unix based system that security and system people understand and can get at, to one that is completely closed. The inability to move files easily between applications and platforms would be a killer.
At the same time, having different OSes for different devices means writing different versions of apps, in completely different languages. Microsoft had it right when they set up Windows to run on desktops, tablets and phones.

Yes, but it would be courageous.
I'm scared if apple go iOS only one day.
But as soon as developer get proper x-code for iOS it might happen. IOS and the devices bring the money.
But i wouldn't be interested much in these future of angry birds and fremium crap games and would go windows for "pro" music tools.
It's still not so clear where the crowd will go....tablet sales gone back while 2-1 hybrids seems to grow a bit.
All that can change or getting worse.
However, i find Microsoft's (and a few other companies) latest hardware more interesting in the last months/years.
If the next big iPad Pro don't will get really more "pro" i might give up
The app store is a horrible searching mess and will getting worse more and more if they doesn't change something for professional tools.
At the moment the glass is half full but i find it a BIG mistake to not give the iPad pro a whole different and more advanced setup.
Windows 10 is still behind iOS for multi-touch but if Apple further go this route i don't know if iPads are so great.....at least for such a premium price.
Give it f..... thunderbolt 3 and usb-c!
I couldnt think of something more useless than a separate "iPadOS". Sorry.
Its the economy.
(or: It isn't...)
