alt Hacker NewsIs there any world where them running MacOS on an A chip ultimately translates to just connecting an iPhone to a monitor, keyboard and mouse (all apple-branded, naturally :-) and running it in 'MacOS mode'?
Obviously just so many reasons why this won't happen. Or would happen on iPad first. But dare we dream?

I hope too, maybe with iPad Pros first: A new hybrid binary for apps that allows you to seamlessly switch between MacOS mode when connected to peripherals and iOS when not, apps just render in a different place, but maintain state.

Imagine putting on some glasses for virtual display and iPhone going into desktop mode...
That'd be the dream
I would love this. Don't see it happening though unless it turns out that people really love the Android desktop mode. (Which, maybe, if/when it becomes basically their ChromeOS replacement.)
