new iPad Pro with 16 GB ram

[fermata]

I see that the new M1 chip iPad Pro has 16 GB ram on the 1TB models. It could run Hauptwerk! Totally amazing! Touch screen and computer all in one, sitting on your music rack -- how minimalist can you get! With the M1 chip, it could even run the wireless Klipsch Axiim speaker system -- yay, no audio cables! Now for the big question -- is the M1 chip compatible with Hauptwerk yet?

How about a music reader? with a magnifier maybe?

The problem is Hauptwerk does not run on iOS. Otherwise I agree, it would be a great candidate!

I have a young friend running MacOS on an iPhone. I wonder if it would be worth talking to him.

Hello fermata,

[Topic moved here.]

To add to/confirm others' replies, Hauptwerk is compatible only with the Windows and macOS operating system -- not iOS (which is a separate operating system that Apple's iPads and iPhones use). Hence no, you can't use Hauptwerk on an iPad, I'm afraid.

The first benchmarks are out on the new M1 iPad Pro. Using Geekbench 5, it is faster than a maxed-out MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i9 processor. Multi core numbers:
New iPad Pro with with M1 - 7284
MacBook Pro Intel Core i9 - 6845
I'm really hoping that the new MacBook Pro using an M1X (or M2, depending on how Apple will choose to name the new silicon, which is rumored to have LOTS more cores), will be offered with more than 16GB of RAM. Please Apple, please!

And it seems pretty clear that by installing the same arm chips in iphones/imacs/ipads apple is taking the slow road to complete unification (and I suspect eventual OS unification too). Clearly they want all apps to work on all devices. I suspect a few years from now we may end up with an [apple] device-agnostic platform from apple.
