The iPad's Odd New Feature

45 Comments

1. I use my iPad by letting collect dust. I'ma 'bout to sell it. It is unfortunate, paid so much for a thing and all I do is watch Netflix on it. Oh well.

2. "Really really great".. calculator app??! TF he wants a calculator to do, shoot diamonds everytime u press a numkey?!

   Reasoooooooons. Anyone can see thru that BS reasoning.

3. I use split screen

4. Seems like a first world problem rant 😂 but yeah Apple being Apple, the iPad was never intended to be a Mac replacement from the start

5. I can't imagine being so limited by using Apple. I've been a Samsung Note user since Note 3. If you want something very reliable and can do anything you can think of get the new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

6. ipad is my number 1 device. 11 inch 2020 pro with magic keyboard. For me its all about the portability. Im using it for email and note taking, and personal project management. My iphone feels like an extension of my ipad sometimes. As I say all of this I am retiring my 2014 13 inch MBP which I also have loved. I basically just stopped using it because the ipad is so fast. I’ve got an M2 MBA on the way so we will see how these two work together. Ive been without had features like universal control yet since I haven’t been able to get the most recent macOS updates the last two years. Excited to give it a shot.

7. I use my iPad mini 6 exclusively full-screen 90% of the time , but the missing full external display support is still sad considering how powerful the A15 Bionic is.

9. 2:40 thats just bllsht

10. I dont multitask even on my samsung tab s7 note. Mostly note taking, reading, YouTube, disney plus. Multitasking with ipad is to use my both tablets lol, where i can open 2 full apps, like notetaking, my textbook app, and browser running on background. That's it, not complicated, and also calendar, email app on background

11. 3rd Gen iPad Pro 12.9 1TB LTE user here
    i use it to take notes with onenote/goodnote/notability
    though i have 12.9 model, i have never felt comfortable using it for multitasking.

    if i have a sentence or two to type, i'd probably take out my iphone pro max
    if it's any longer, i'd resort to 16 macbook pro

    honestly, ipados is too limiting and intensionally crimped.
    it demands its pro users from making costly sacrifices
    the only real use i have (note taking) is heavily diminished by the lack of a tactile button on the apple pencil

12. Like your t-shirt

13. I use mine like a notebook. I essentially only open Goodnotes, Desmos, Wolfram Alpha and Chrome.

    The only time I use my iPad for media is on flights and I delete Netflix from it as soon as I am done with my trip.

14. Je possède un iPad Pro 12,9 M1 qui remplace mon portable sur la route (je suis représentant). Je l’utilise pour toutes les applications de bureau, catalogues PDF, prise de notes ainsi que pour le montage vidéo et photographie (ProCreate, Affinity, Pixelmator). J’ai aussi un Mac-mini M1 à la maison. Merci pour tes vidéos! Toujours agréable a visionner !

15. I'd like to be able to make 100% of my games on iPad Pro. It means I'll need some kind of IDE that is more simplistic, straight forward than Xcode and be able to test game while I can see some console output while watch memory in separate window while developed application is ran in native resolution (not zoomed out). I think if iPad will be able to handle this – it will be just right.

    It should be kind of like Safari + DevTools experience when making a JavaScript game, but native. It is also very important to have code writing software out of the box, developer should not need to use Google to find out which application he needs to use to make applications for device and OS he is using – it should be the wrench icon on settings or home screen.

16. 2:23 It’s a freaking Calculator! Get over yourself!!

17. Consume media. I hate trying to work on it, drives me crazy.

18. Name of the game at 0:55 ?

19. It lives in my magic keyboard. I only do so many things. And it works great for all of them.. if I wanted a computer I would have bought one. But this fits the bill for me. Email, YouTube, I drive a semi so I use it for load booking etc.. the big screen is nice for movies as well.

20. Wow. Apple didn't get around to make a great calculator app. So full of it.

21. Inciteful video. I use the iPad mostly for consumption, but I often need to copy content from one app to another. Stage Manager makes this much easier. That said, it takes a while to get used to. Since iPad apps are designed as “touch first” apps, with buttons and touch targets, it is fundamentally different than Mac OS apps, with a file menu and a resizable interface. This is why the iPad can’t have fully scaleable windows. (It can, but they could look weird, with buttons and touch targets that grow and shrink). As such, Apple came up with a way to allow touch apps to co-exist and run concurrently on a screen as windows. My biggest complaint is that the windows are hard to distinguish when they overlap. Traditional Mac windowing is easier to view. Maybe a white band around each window would help Stage Manager. In any case, it’s an interesting approach and it seems to be getting more stable. IPadOS Beta 4 seems more fluid and a bit less buggy. The groups of 4 apps seems confusing and takes some time to get used to. Overall, its a positive step. As you noted, Apple clearly wants it to be a unique iPad experience – not a ported Mac experience with a touch interface. There are times I wish it could just run MacOS – maybe in a duel boot mode. That would really allow me to ditch my Mac!

22. This is super neat, but it is very much "Unmistakably iPad" as they say, and it's SUPER not how my brain works. This will be a productivity gamechanger for many, but for me the choices they've made would lead to frustration more than productivity

23. Multi tasking for ipad is great. Im a realtor and responding to tons of inquiries at once is so easy with ipad. Glad they are Atleast tryna make it better

24. I only use my iPad for watching YouTube, movies, and games. Never use it as a computer.

25. I don’t have a phone but iPad so I use it pretty much like a phone and occasionally some PUBG mobile on it😂

26. Anyone know what game he was playing at 0:52? Looks interesting

27. Your clip of the guy from apple sounds to me like a company out of ideas. I was one of those people who has to have the latest iPhone stand in line every year, then i went to every 2 years now i hold on to them until its broken or just doesn’t work. Their is just not the excitement about the new iPhones anymore. I have an idea for apple, how about your Lock Screen show the live weather, rain, snow sunshine with the time and date.

28. Soooo, if the ipad do mac thing, apple will sell less macs. So, ipad will either not do it, or do it worse, until some android tablet do it so greatly that people start giving up on laptops for android tablets, than apple will do it.

29. I use an iPad the iPad way and just importantly I use a MACBOOK Pro, as a laptop. I Like the fact that they are different. I do see how one would want a MacBook experience in an iPad shell at a fraction of the cost, that's understandable. Great Video!

30. Do you know what the iPad is not really a replacement for your computer it never has been it ever will be get over it

31. I’m a med student and I use my iPad Pro 13” as my only device. Sat down at a computer the other day and was really lost trying to navigate through setting, files, etc… I agree there are a lot of things you can’t do on the iPad that lots of people use a laptop or computer for, but I don’t do those things, so I’m now completely immersed in this iPad way of things. It’s like you said, they’re creating an ‘iPad way’ of doing things, and it really is just different.

32. How do you use an iPad? 🤐

33. still looks awful, no plans on using it.

34. I personally use slideover apps a TON but never split screen as I personally find it very invasive and (for my use purposes) unnecessary

35. I use my iPad for entertainment.

36. Didn't have he some sleep at night?

37. My ipad pro is my main device since i draw and do comics

38. 1 app at a time, i feel like iPad multitasking isn't that useful for people who do their real work from their work issued computer

39. Have an iPad Pro and it basically function as media consumption machine all day all night.

40. I look forward to using the greatest calculator app ever on an iPad, where it will calculate numbers/equations that exist in my mind but not typed out on the iPad. It's so great that it reads my mind and doesn't need any touch input.

41. Not sure in which case this is better than a macbook

42. I have a 2018 iPad Pro which I use primarily for drawing. I could update to an M1 model and potentially use an external monitor to maybe use my iPad sort of like a Cintiq (Which might already be possible with sidecar, although I’ve never actually tried). Still, I find that more than anything, iPad is a tool I use for fun and recreation as opposed to a tool for actual work.

43. what’s the name of this game at 0:53

44. Believe it or not I actually prefer the full windowed mode taking up the entire screen. I noticed this when using the mac to manage spaces and I’m like oh snap, this is my preferred way of multitasking. So much, that I actually preferred that for example if we don’t have stage manager on, that the external display should be able to allow me to fully take advantage of the screen real estate to have a Split View of apps and navigate my spaces with the three finger swipe up hold. Somehow they were able to make stage manager seem a bit too ipady, that I actually prefer the existing multitasking facets for me to interact with on an iPad. In return, keeping you using the iPad the way you’re supposed to according to their standards.

45. Every kid who hasn't done their homework should memorize 2:09
    He does it so well.
