MacBook Pros have touchscreens and Apple Pencil compatibility now?

Fair enough, I was being a bit flippant. It’d be nice if that existed, but I suspect Apple doesn’t want it to for market segmentation reasons.

I just went to store.apple.com and specced out a 13" iPad Pro with 2TB of storage, nano-texture glass, and a cell modem for $2,599.

MacBook Pros start at $1,599. There's an enormous overlap in the price ranges of the mortal-person models of those products. It's not like the iPad Pro is the cheap alternative to a MBP. I mean, I couldn't even spec out a MacBook Air to cost as much.
