Any hope of rack and desktop Apollos running on iPad ios?

I see that upper end Presonus and Motu interfaces offer this, I know....Volt. But I want the best of the best sound and UAD plugins and laptop restart on stage is a nightmare (some use dual backup setup with iconnectivity Playaudio12 auto switcher interface for inevitable laptop hitches, cool idea but they dont have inputs...wtf!?? and anyway I much prefer and already own 3 Apollos). Logic, Ableton Note, Loopy Pro are all pro level apps and I want to integrate them onstage but can't stand laptops. (why am I ok with iPad? never has crashed once running Loopy onstage for years now). Understanding it would likely be modern ipad usb c versions only, but jeez would it be cool to use my UA gear for laptopless live performance instead of a 150$- $500 meh sounding ios interface. Thanks

I highly doubt this given the nature of the UAD2 thunderbolt drivers. Agree it would be cool though. Actually I really wish the Apollos could act stand-alone with a button for selecting presets that you made while on the computer. That would be awesome.

standalone op w presets would be cool. This article says the computer can crash and your Apollo audio connections wont break, which is why I'm even considering performing with a laptop onstage again, tho if things get serious (and I'm out touring again) I'll likely run a redundant setup as backup.

Mixing FOH With A UAD Apollo Interface

Front-of-house engineer David Williams talks to SOS about why mixing with a DSP audio interface is worthwhile, despite the dangers of using a laptop on stage.
