Your arguments have been ridiculous, which leads us to this point. I do believe windows is objectively the best desktop o/s. And you are correct, 2.5 billion users think android is better than iOS for their own reasons.
There is such a thing called form and function. People buy massed produced for consumer devices for their own reasons. But this is far afield of “proving” apple is objectively wrong about stage manager.
And you believe the masses are never right. Btw, using absolutes, imo, is disingenuous discussion.
I suspect most people who use their iPads will not know or use or even miss this feature. Truth be told the iPad is seen mainly as a media consumption device and to a lesser extent a creative device granted with expensive accessories. This is another fine example that Apple is struggling to define what or where it is heading while not stepping on the Mac hardware division. 2020 iPad Pro owner here and I don’t feel I will be missing these extended features.
All I want is the ability to have a fully extended display (2020 iPad Pro). It’s stupid because in App you can have non 16:9 extended support but on Home Screen it’s got the black bars.
I agree this is an overlooked flaw that should be the default when mirroring was initially implemented. I hope iPadOS 16 fixes this without the other extended features.
Then you also missed the fact that of the newest iPads, 2/3rds of them don't support it.
Sure. Go on. Tell me what about the Pro makes it a tablet?
The screen size and battery are the reasons I consider the mini the best tablet on the market.
Sure, but the Pro's aren't tablets. They are touch screen Macs with iPadOS.
Look, I agree that every tool has value in the right situation. But of all the iPads the mini has the most flexibility. You can use mini for illustration and hold it over your head, but you can't do that with the 12.9 pro. The larger weight of the pros might offer some specific improvements but in doing so causes it to not be able to do other things. That's how I come to the conclusion that the mini is the best tablet.
The 2020 pros will still get iPadOS16. The real issue with the iPads is the same issue with the iPhones. Apple doesn't make choosing between devices comparable. They shouldn't be releasing a handful of models with so many differences in hardware. They need to make 2022 iPads, and all of them be the same except for the screen. Same battery life, same processor, same storage, etc. Just let the user decide what size screen they want. If they can't fit an M1 in a mini, don't put it in the Pro. If they want a lower-cost device, just sell the last-years device at a reduced price.
You know the 4th gen air was the current gen up till a grand total of 3 months ago, right? It’s hardly approaching end of support…
Unless the engineer programming the Swap file implementation is one Mr M Mouse then I doubt you’ll get any issues with bricking the storage etc. The only real issue I could imagine occurring is corrupting the swap and then simply turning it off and on again should replace the swap file with a new one, hell even Windows allows you to delete the page file to start again if needed.
Stage manager isn’t going to make a blip in the iPad model purchase breakdowns. The base iPad is still going to be far and away the dominant seller.
Unfortunately this conversation devolved to hyperbole. However, in Search of truth for why is stage manager restricted to m1 iPads and above nobody has been able to “prove or disprove “ anything.
And here is my non jailbroken 2018 iPP technically running 4 apps at once, so multitasking is certainly possible on the non M1 iPads.
Developer flags are a clue but no proof.
I suspect iPadOS 16 will include support for whatever Ax chip is announced later this year.
