There has been a lot of speculation about the future of Apple. With the company having such a heavy focus on mobile devices, a lot of sources have suggested over recent years that Apple may one day merge the Mac and iPad platforms into one. One such example is the new MacBook, which many thought was the beginning because of its single USB-C port and the lack of any additional input ports.
On the other hand, Apple CEO Tim Cook notes in an interview with Independent that it's not currently in the company's plans to merge the two into one device. Instead, Cook highlights that Apple recognizes users' needs to have a separate mobile device from their workstation. A device centered around a mobile experience isn't as in-depth as a workstation, and as a result, users would not be able to get done on their machines what they'd expect to get done if such a merge occurred.
