Federighi made that comment just moments being worked on by Apple over multiple years, that will allow the developers of iOS apps to bring those apps to Mac more easily. And first up will be Apple, Voice Memos, News, and Home apps for macOS Mojave, coming this fall.. We love Mac, and we love macOS like the ergonomics of the keyboard and trackpad, the flexibility in displays and storage, and because of the power it exposes, it makes Mac able to accomplish almost anything... I'm not sure I can entirely conceive of iOS never having tool like Terminal — where you can arbitrarily install, compile, software, is unlikely to ever be reflected on iOS.. And yet one of Apple's greatest arguments against touch on macOS, is going to very rapidly become obsolete as iOS-sourced apps appear on Mac in 2019 and 2020.. It's tough position for Apple to be in, and it's still open question about whether the border between iPad Pro and MacBook is immutable or shifting. In world what will make Mac different from iOS will be the flexibility and power that Federighi talked about. This is encouraging sign that Apple recognizes that beyond the avalanche of iOS-sourced Mac apps, Mac App Store needs to be populated with the sorts of apps that are not possible on iOS — and that requires more flexibility on Apple's part.. I'm sorely tempted to say that Mac of 2020 will include the best of iOS App Store, plus the sorts of apps that best take advantage of the power and flexibility of the Mac. But given the trajectory of iOS, it's hard not to see this as temporary approach to making Mac more useful and viable until the point when iOS has the power to accomplish almost anything.
