Leveraging Apple Software for the Hybrid Setup
The software aspect of the MacPad setup is entirely based on existing Apple software, utilizing Sidecar to extend the Mac OS onto the iPad display when in Mac OS mode. For iPad mode, Universal Control is used, allowing the iPad to seamlessly switch between Mac OS and iPad OS environments.
