Earlier this week, Apple held a new product launch conference where the company unveiled a couple of products. Among the series of products at the conference is the new iPad Pro tablet that comes with the M1 chip. In addition, the company also unveiled its latest MacBook with the M1 chip too. Considering that Apple is using the same chips on these devices, there are speculations that Apple is planning to combine the iPad and Mac lineups
Today, Apple’s senior vice president of global marketing, Greg Joswiak, and senior vice president of hardware engineering, John Ternus, responded to the speculations. According to them, there is absolutely no plan to merge the two product lines. The iPad and MacBook lineups are doing well individually, why merge them? Besides, these devices are for different classes of people and different markets. Thus, it doesn’t make any sense for Apple to merge them.
