A typical user would have for instance a desktop and an iPad (which practically as powerful as a desktop nowadays) and could thus halve the processing time of parallel friendly computations.

The iPad processor could help use more kernel for parallel computation.

Wolfram could develop a very simple app - from a UI standpoint - that launches a WTSP server (with the appropriate license of course) on the iPad, which could be used as a remote kernel by another machine.

On the other hand, using a mighty M1 chip to run a RDP or VNC client is a bit of a waste : what if we considered the implementation on the server side of things ? On top of that most people belonging to the intersection of iPad owners and Mathematica users have a Desktop or a laptop anyway, so it is really easy for them to just use a Remote Desktop program on their iPad to use Mathematica, so the need may not seem so urgent. I understand the challenges for Wolfram to create an entirely new notebook UI for tablets. The new iPads with M1 chip definitely have the resource to run it. Many have requested a fully featured version of Mathematica on the iPad.
