Tim Cook: Apple Won't Create 'Converged' MacBook and iPad (independent.ie)

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-until-they-do,-anyway dept.

LichtSpektren writes: In an interview with Independent.ie, Apple CEO Tim Cook has stated that Apple is currently not looking to create an iPad that runs Mac OS X. "We feel strongly that customers are not really looking for a converged Mac and iPad, because what that would wind up doing, or what we're worried would happen, is that neither experience would be as good as the customer wants. So we want to make the best tablet in the world and the best Mac in the world. And putting those two together would not achieve either. You'd begin to compromise in different ways." Cook also commented that he does not travel with a Mac anymore, only his iPad Pro and iPhone.

    Well I don't think making the best Mac in the world is very hard for Apple, there isn't exactly a lot of competition there.

    This is exactly the reason why I did not buy my daughter a microwave.
