What's this about?
Cursor, the AI-native code editor, launched on iPad (and iPhone), positioning the tablet as a place to drive coding agents with more screen room than a phone.
What exactly is an "AI-native code editor"?
A code editor built around an AI assistant from the ground up, rather than bolting a plugin onto an old editor. On a tablet the workflow is less about typing every line and more about supervising agents doing the work — which is exactly why a touch device starts to make sense.
Why it matters
It's a signal that "coding" is drifting from typing toward directing agents — a phone/tablet is a fine cockpit for that even if it's a poor place to hand-write code.
