There are still many functions that, whether for convenience or incompatibility, continue to make Macs more functional than an iPad. The progress of Apple in the software of its tablets has been very remarkable in recent years, even having its own operating system such as iPadOS and which was launched for the first time in 2019. Since then there is one thing that publishers wonder video and that still remains unanswered and it’s all about the ability to watch the popular Final Cut compatible on iPad.
Apple Silicons give hope to Final Cut on iPad
You’re probably wondering what Apple processors for their Macs have to do with Final Cut compatibility on an iPad. Well yes, there is a parallel between both facts. With the launch of the first Macs with Apple Silicon, specifically the M1, we have been able to verify how native Apple applications are already capable of working on the ARM architecture of the chips, an architecture that iPads also have and that would make it much easier the integration of this software in tablets.
In fact, it not only opens the door to Final Cut, but also to many other programs that until now have been exclusive to macOS. Being able to use iPhone and iPad apps on a Mac is great news, but also in the opposite direction we find many advantages. Obviously, using software as powerful as the video editor is not the most convenient depending on which tablets, but it is in the ‘Pro’ models. Without going any further, the A12Z Bionic in the 2020 iPad Pro is still Apple’s most powerful processor in these devices, surpassing the A14.
It is true that an iPad will never be a computer, but it is getting closer and closer and for many it is possible to dispense with these devices in favor of tablets. Students, text editors, graphic editors, etc. And while there are very interesting video editors for iPad like Luma Fusion, the truth is that the most professional and used to Final Cut software miss it a lot.
Could it come with iPadOS 15?
The question is, why not? Apple’s software is one of the few secrets that the company can keep safe, since it is designed entirely in Apple Park without third parties such as supply chains involved in the case of products. It is true that some year something has been leaked, even last year with a version prior to the betas of iOS 14, but this type of event is counted on the fingers of one hand.
Given that there were very few new features in iPadOS 14, most of them with little significance or inherited from iOS 14, we can guess that those from Cupertino have been saving a strong course for this year. But unfortunately it will not be until WWDC 2021 when we know if Final Cut compatibility is included among the novelties of iPadOS 15. We remember that this conference focused on developers will be held in the month of June, except for a capital surprise if we take into account that In 2020, with COVID-19 hitting the company, it only delayed this event for a few weeks and it was carried out electronically.
