No, iPads have been around for more than a decade.


Are you referring to IDEs? The iPad is not a productive machine. It’s for consumption. The VisionOS is for productivity which is very different from anything on iOS so I imagine it’s going to be available on it.


My point exactly, i'm going to be hard pressed to drop 3.5k on a ipad strapped to my face. If it can't replace my macbook why would I bother?


It has the exact same app review guidelines as iOS and iPadOS. If you can't put it on those, you can't put it on VisionOS.


I don't see why you couldn't port an IDE to ipad os.. filesystem is a bit tricky with the way icloud files work.. but otherwise it's just a thing.

I think mostly people don't (for high end IDEs) because they expect a keyboard and pointing device that isn't a touchscreen and those are faily rare per ipads sold.

The ipad pro certainly is seeing some more beefy productivity apps it seems.


That's not how Apple advertises iPad Pro.
