Seems interesting that Apple is willing to walk back the separate interface for separate input methods ethos they had during the Windows 8 days. I wonder how long until iPad OS is basically a convertible OS like Win8 was.

Having the menu bar only with an external keyboard kind of sucks. Would love if that was a standard iPad interface element.

I don’t know. I always have my ipad in its keyboard case, and i’m not sure how great a menu bar would be when no keyboard/trackpad is attached. I do think it’s probably a good thing that Apple may be considering that different user interfaces make sense when you have a keyboard/mouse pointer and when you don’t.
