• The new iPad Pro was shown off on stage, with vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus making comparisons to modern consoles for the tablet device.

    "To put it another way," Ternus said while the slide on the screen behind him changed to show a picture of Microsoft's white Xbox One S, "the iPad Pro delivers Xbox One S-class graphics performance in a product that's 94% smaller." Amid the applause, he adds "And there's no AC cord required."

    When Microsoft's gaming chief Phil Spencer was pinged on Twitter about the comment, he was definitely encouraging of a future where mobile devices can play with consoles.

    It's interesting to note that Apple didn't shy away from the comparison at all, similar to Huawei directly comparing their phone to Nintendo Switch. While tablets are still not ideal for gaming the same way consoles are, if only for heat reasons, Microsoft does seem keen on handling the control aspect of it.
