The iPad runs iOS, which I suppose is what they meant. Windows ARM is less locked down than Windows S. iOS is still a walled-garden with a few holes here and there.

The second part of your question is key though "why most people should care." They obviously don't. It "just works" and generally keeps them from doing insecure shit. Want to buy hardware from someone else? Tough shit! Why would you anyway? You've got money to burn and no desire to write code that runs on your box without a second "real" computer. Buy some more lightning cables while you're at it. Don't forget to mention green bubbles next time you message an Android peasant.

I said that last part pretty snarky, but you're not wrong about most people not caring. That's their audience and they've nailed it.

The conversation never mentioned “iOS” or phones and the submission is about Intel who has nothing to do with mobile or Android. He specifically said MacOS:

>> Well yes, but then you have to use macOS and the locked down close ecosystem that is Apple.

What does any of your response have to with Intel, Windows or MacOS?

It is mentioned a long way up this thread:

>> Casual reminder that the now two year old Apple M1 still smokes every single chip I just mentioned, all in a fanless iPad Air.
