Harshil, the iPad doesn't invalidate it, it's basically just a large iPhone. The touchscreen is the default mode of interaction for 99% of how people use iPads. UIKit, Apple's touch-focused framework, is its native UI framework (that SwiftUI is built on top of).
Apple's continued insistence on blurring the lines between UIKit (touch) and AppKit (keyboard + mouse/trackpad) really rubs me the wrong way. Steve Jobs would've never approved of any of that.
@grishka If you're gonna invoke a man who’s been dead for a decade to argue against a product decision that has been in place for half of the iPad's existence, I'm not sure what we're doing here
