Mark Gurman:

And, most importantly, a new “pro” mode that kicks in when the iPad is connected to a keyboard and trackpad, such as Apple’s own Magic Keyboard, or an external display.

This is an alternate to the studioOS idea I had a few weeks ago, and I don't personally like this idea of morphing functionality based on input devices. This reminds me of how Windows does things, and I son't think that's the answer, it's a recipe for frustration.

As I suggested in studioOS, I think the solution is to let the Pro lineup become more…pro.
