Do people really see this happening? It's been one of those big promises for nearly a decade and we're really nowhere near closer to it.

You can run android apps on chrome(/chromium) and other than for novelty I don't know anyone who does so.



The Android tablet scene is almost non existent. With the ipad pro and magic keyboard you could realistically use an ipad as a laptop if the software you needed was on it.

I imagine that eventually devs will target pro software for the ipad and have it come to macos for free.


How are we nowhere close when you can run iOS apps today on M1 ?


The promise that people use mobile apps in lieu of desktop apps, not that it's technically possible.

As I mentioned, chrome and chromium have enabled this for android for awhile now.
