I wonder if there will be a version of parallel that will run on the new 2021 iPad Pro with M1 chip since I believe it has the same - or very much alike - components as the MacBooks/Mini M1 lineup.
Not unless Apple explicitly supports hardware assisted virtualization in iPadOS, and then allows Parallels to be installed via the App Store. I don't know if that is on the cards. Technically, I think it is a no brainer. But we are after all talking about Apple here.
Parallels please please develop this and work with Apple to get it into the iPad App Store - I would gladly pay the $50 a year for iPad version as will many of your customers. Think REVENUE!
