Now that LRM has the ability to do HDR photos with the built in camera, it would be nice to also be able to produce HDR images with imported photos. It should be fairly easy to implement since the coding is already done for the camera.
You are probably correct. I have 512 gig or storage on my new ipad pro. I am doubting we get that feature. We do not have enough ram to these still for stacking multiple raw images. I could see them possibly allowing jpeg HDR rendering of multiple images but I doubt these can handle stacking more than two RAW files. Which is really all you need in most situations.
But if lightroom can stack multiple RAW images from the built in ipad or iphone camera then maybe I am wrong and it is in the works. Who knows. I think for all of the exposure stacking and focal stacking I do, I will have to get a beefy laptop to go with my ipad pro. Great so far for single photo edits. They keep improving it so who knows?
Is there any update on when or if this feature will come to iPad? It’s very frustrating to need to jump between desktop and iPad any time I need to merge an HDR or Pano.
As a long time LR user (perpetual 6), I switched to LR/LRC a month ago. I too decided to place my iPad Pro 12.9 at the center of my new workflow (not on the edges.... but square in the center). All new images are imported into LR Mobile picked, ranked, edited, finals created, and all images loaded to the cloud (and ultimately automatically pushed down to LRC and manually placed into a folder structure on an external drive). For me, being able to work on that 12.9" blazingly fast device, with an Apple Pencil, on an amazing screen, whilst sitting on my sofa (or hotel bed) is an incredible new (to me) and inspirational way of working my images.
I too hope that LR Mobile will continue to move towards feature parity with LR and LRC. It may be several years away but I do think that it's coming.
My hope is that the LR Mobile development team at Adobe sees their product as I see it --- a product that can be used at the Center of the workflow, no just on the margins. If the team has the right mindset and Adobe understands that positioning the LRM product in this manner will be a game changer for many, I think that LRM has an incredibly bright future.

With the new iPad Pro moving to the full-blown M1 chip, I wonder if HDR/Panorama merge feature will find its' way in to LR Mobile. I use my iPad as my primary editing tool, it's a bummer I can't merge. I use Panorama quite often when taking mobile pictures on my iPhone (using LR camera app so they are DNG), as a way of squeezing out higher resolution from what would ordinarily be inadequate mobile phone shots.
As a landscape photographer, it would be nice to use my iPad for traveling and editing, but without these fundamentalediting options, I am still forced to take my laptop with me. And before anyone says "but you can do HDR merges if you take the photo with your device via the Lightroom Mobile app," let's keep in mind that this is not a professional solution. I am not using my phone to take professional images. Let's face it: if I used my phone for photography, I probably wouldn't be using Creative Cloud and I probably wouldn't have many/any clients.
I honestly don't know how you, as professional developers, could have released the Lightroom app without HDR and Panorama.
