I pointed this out on HN before with the same opinion and someone pointed out that they might just throw away MacOS. iOS is a smaller codebase, has superior multitasking (ever needed Activity Monitor on iOS?) and generally more future proof than MacOS is. An iOS laptop or desktop (like the Surface) wouldn't be out of the question.

Desktop and phone are very distinct interfaces. Last time they tried, such as adding the Launchpad, it didn't add anything.

I hope they don't come up with any other funny ideas.

Seen the desktop surfaces? Or used an SP4? An iOS equivalent would be excellent.
