It’s time for apple to catch up and make offScreenCanvas, in both 2d and 3d contexts, available to users and developers as a standard feature of Safari on all their OS’s
To make rendering offscreen in a worker available be default, could help Enable various types of graphics/number crunching intensive web applications to be run in the Safari browser, and would be a great reason to buy apple devices.
The main complaint and reason many fellow students don’t buy an ipad, and choose to stick with windows or android laptops, is that the IPAD is too locked down and the browser feels like you are stuck in the late 2000s. There are many web apps they want to take advantage of; yet, with Apple devices they just can’t, and thus they buy a surface or an android.
Software lockdowns to promote purchase of newer hardware is also a reason they choose other devices, as you can do sidecar on all android devices with both windows and Mac, for free.
