Unlikely.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Actually, they don't. iOS and MacOS will never intersect. Now if they just
gave the Mac a touch screen, a pen and a cellular modem, they'd have
something. Instead of running an ARM processor to manage the touch bar
that ARM processor should be monitoring events such as a text message or
a phone call. If they did that with MacOS such that it could stay on all
the time like the iPad can stay on all the time, they'd really have
something there. 

I have an iPad and an iPhone. There are two things I like about both.
I never turn them off. They iPad will make a noise and alert me when I
get an email. I can leave it in my pack 24 hours a day, seven days week
and if I don't turn the display on to actually use it, the battery is
hardly touched at all. It will only lose a few percent of power per day.
The events are monitors while the CPU is in a very low usage mode. It's
pretty much asleep, but still gets events. You put that kind of function
into a laptop, and you got me sold. 

ARM is really on to something here. Thanks to the hundreds of millions
of these sold per quarter they keep getting faster and faster while
giving better and better battery life. They are very dynamic in terms of
CPUs cores being active or not, and being used or shut down to save
power. 

In my opinion the next great feature for the PC is the monitoring of
events in real time. Always on, always monitoring. My laptop should get
smaller, lighter and yet always be on and always be monitoring. 

One nice thing about the phone is that we decided it is a phone. We
decided it is a communications device. Now we have to allow the PC to
*also* become a communications device. That means each PC needs
something like a text message capability and an assumed method of
reaching the user on the device. If you like, have two sides to the same
device. An ARM CPU for events and an Intel CPU for the muscle. But the
laptop needs to be on all the time. 

And iPad with a keyboard pretends to be this but it's missing the
functionality of a PC. The PC has the functionality of a PC, but isn't a
communications device at its soul the way a smart phone is. I can't
leave the laptop on 24 x 7 from battery only. With the iPad I only
top it off once ever two or three days and otherwise, it is not plugged
in at all. I assume it is not dead because it takes days to kill it with
my usage. I don't use it like a PC because it lacks the functions of a
PC. It sits in my backpack most of the time, powered on and waiting for
me to need it. I still hear it alerting me to events though. I like that
part about it.

I find it unlikely as well.

They have something now. But, really, as it is, a touch screen would make
little sense for macOS (assuming you mean a standard one and not something
like the touch bar).

Again, they already have something... but I can see doing more. And of
course they will over time. Having a low power chip be on all the time (as a
choice) does make some sense.

That makes some sense... sure.

Again, makes sense and I can see Apple going that way with their Macs.

This also assumes constant network activity -- which will happen but for a
laptop that is less important than a phone!

I don't see a convergence of OSes.  I do think that macOS will
go away and iOS will be wedged onto the Macks as maciOS.

I think improving the computing experience for mobile devices, with
a more capable OS, along with modular accessories like keyboard and
portable monitor will be the way it goes.

Re: Apple: It'll be awhile before they can do the OS convergence but I'm sure 
it's in their long range plan. Desktop computers aren't needed as much as they 
used to be by the "average" user. I know I've been saying this for years on end 
and the desktop crowd doesn't like hearing it but this is the reality. We are
currently in a situation where the "average" computer user no longer uses a 
computer as much as they do a mobile device (phone, table, watch, etc.).
Some people just buy the devices now, they don't replace their old computer
because the things they did on it are now able to be done 'on the go'. If your
text needs are light and you can talk into a device and it transcribes what you're
saying, there isn't even a need for a keyboard for that tablet. This moves 
everything away from even the laptop (which is more portable than a desktop).

I will offer a bet of .01565 BTC that we'll never see iOS on a Mac,
ever. If I am wrong, you can claim 0.01565 BTC from me. :)

Well, that's pretty general of a statement. I think they will always
improve it. But I don't think they will give it an open accessible file
system on par with what the Mac user has on MacOS. And without that, I
feel iOS is too limiting for real work. Not to mention, there aren't any
dev tools on iOS is there?

That's the point.  If they add those capabilities to iOS, what would
they need macOS for?  Where is the benefit in maintaining separate
OSes?

You give Apple way too much credit. You're making sense and using logic.
Have you not learned anything at all about Apple all these years? They
will keep these two platforms separate. Forever. They will keep two
different products. That's the way they are. It was a miracle we ever
got mail.app with a vertical view.

It makes sense to keep them separate:

* macOS: mouse/ touchpad driver which a "hover" state
* iOS:   touch screen driven without a "hover" state

And of course there are other differences. Over time we may see hardware
converge more where it makes sense to have devices do both, and we see MS
trying to do this with Windows. So far the success there has been mediocre,
at least in my view.

Exactly. The "average user" of a "traditional" desktop/laptop computer is 
going to be, at some point, either a content creator, a developer or a user 
of niche software which will perform tasks that the "average person" has 
nothing to do with.

Adding the complexities of a desktop OS to a screen you can hold in one hand
is going to reduce the usability of the handheld device.

Until or unless we find away around that we will not see convergence from
Apple. We might see a way to run iOS programs on macOS.

What do you even mean by maciOS? Running iOS programs in macOS? Maybe... but
the input systems are so different many would not work well. Think of trying
to use a gyroscope based game on an iMac!

Yeah, no open source company would do that.

How is Unity moving along these days? OpenOffice? Oh.

I think that it's just a matter of time before they abandon physical
keyboards in favour of some hologram crap. It won't work better, but
it'll look so much cooler than using a mechanical keyboard like those
crazy PC guys are doing.

I love a good mechanical keyboard with good key travel. I also like the
Lenovo keyboard on my T450. Lenovo has the best keyboards on laptops in
my opinion. Apple would do well to follow their lead.

Interesting to see his trolling of me worked.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Maybe Lenovo has the best in some models but my wife absolutely despises
the one on her thin YogaPro 3. She LOVED the Thinkpads when IBM still
made them but what Lenovo has offered her since has been garbage in one
way or another.

つまり、あなたの妻に満足を与えることはできません。

これはあなたが人種差別的なゴミ杭である理由を説明します

黒人はあなたの妻を覚えています。
