Recently I was able to read rumors online about what the future of both OS X and iOS could be. All those rumors appeared when Apple suddenly put the powerful and gigantic iPad Pro on the table. We are facing a new product category that will begin to be marketed at the end of November and that at first glance could be the perfect replacement for today's lightest Macs, the MacBook Air and the new 12-inch MacBook.
However, something held back those who spoke that this supposed iPad could replace those computers and it was nothing other than the system that will make the new iPad Pro live, iOS 9. It is clear that in order to have the versatility that we have in OS X the iOS should evolve a lot and even merge with OS X, which now Tim Cook himself has been quick to deny.
For some years now, the Mac OS X system has been adjusting both in design and in operation to many aspects of what is now also the system of Apple's mobile devices, iOS. So much so that certain characteristics iOS 9 will not be able to be used if we do not update the system that the guys from Cupertino launched today, OS X El Capitan.
That is why hypotheses emerge on the net that what Apple could be plotting is to merge its systems in such a way that both, speaking of Macs and mobile devices, make use of a single system, with more or less options depending on the hardware where it is installed, but the same system.
Now, taking advantage of the Boxworks conference that was held in San Francisco and to which Tim Cook has attended, he himself affirmed:
We do not believe in having a PC and mobile operating system. These operating systems do different things. We have no intention of mixing them.
So for now the Apple ones do not have such a fusion in mind, although with the evolution that both MacBooks are experiencing with the use of M-type processors and iPads with increased RAM and use of increasingly powerful processors, everything makes one dream that in the future, where now they say NO, then there will be a hybrid of OS X and iOS.
I mean they don't want to, but they will end up doing the same as Microsoft, how ironic
