Huh now that's interesting. It turns out that a near-15-inch screen is big enough for Safari on the iPad to be happy with two tabs side-by-side as well as another app. 🤨 I'm sure that's just a happy accident… The OS doesn't need much work to fill that screen res, either pic.twitter.com/un8lTkp5hw

It's very clear that you could go to near 15" without having to redesign iOS. Software-wise, everything basically just works already. A 15" slot in the lineup would match Mac portables, and caters to Apple's profit margins & ever-increasing price points. It makes too much sense

This is the first year I won’t be upgrading due to cost. I can’t imagine what a 15” would run

I think it would be crazy *not* to expand to a larger iPad size as we move towards a shared Marzipan world w/ tabbed windowing, USB-C & more and more pro-level apps. As a product, I think it ticks all the 'should we do this?' boxes and moves into 'when should we do this?' instead

The only reason I wouldn't want Apple to do so next year is that I'm getting a 12.9-inch one this year 😅

You could go beyond 15" with iPad, but then you start to need bigger changes to iOS (like a floating keyboard), and current side-by-side sizes become a little ridiculous to have filling the screen height. 15" could be done with iOS as we know it today without things getting weird

Did some calculations on this yesterday, if you're interested. It wouldn't be too much bigger than the 12.9" model. twitter.com/UlurooSpeaks/s…

At that point, it better have a cursor and external hard drive support (conspicuously absent from the USB C data devices supported). In fact, someone came up with an ideal form for a 15" iPad... pic.twitter.com/ctHCOhycw2

I’d like to see a 24” desktop-class iPad. Crank the A-series chip to the max, let it run many apps as ‘floating’ windows etc.

'as we know it' is a dangerous qualifier. Will freeform windowing go away? No, I don't think so. Will it look the same as today? No idea, but unlikely on an infinite timescale

Yeah, why should iPad mobile computing stop at 15" or 30" or 90"?! pic.twitter.com/XNIvDnF383

I’ve wanted a 20-30 inch iPad that is intended for a desktop ever since the original iPad came out.

Exactly. After Tuesday’s keynote it’s very clear Apple is going after the laptop market with the iPad Pro. To them it represents the future of the laptop.

They need to bring back the 17” MacBook Pro first.
