Been saying this forever -- this is the next HUGE leap that I see. Steve Jobs wanted the iPad to be a small Mac rather than a big iPhone. For someone like me, there are still critical things missing from the iPhone for it to be my primary computing device.

Yes for example IOS is terrible for photo editing or any kind of media production. It can work in a pinch but not useful for daily workflows.
It would literally have to break out into a jailed macOS session when docked for it to be at all practical for me, honestly.

The average user could no doubt make due with a minimal multi-window iOS interface. I have no idea how people work with an iPad in any serious capacity when you are restricted to a full screen interface.
