This is the whole reason I switch from the iPad, iPhone, and Mac ecosystem to Chromebook with iPhone and Apple Watch and a Mac ecosystem.

What if that bricks the Non M1 iPads
Correct.
Apple doesn't want to give you a slow experience. They only want to give you the fastest experience possible, because you would complain about it being slow.
Change “engineering issues” to nearly every aspect of life.
They know it sounds so arbitrary and it probably is, but they somehow are pushing and pushing to convince everybody it isn't. They apparently designed and implemented this feature to run off resources only available on the M1 but can't somehow just say so.
That’s how the Internet is. They want to place blame on Apple for cost cutting and being inconvenient to the user, when they have no idea the logistics of why Stage manager being limited to iPad M1’s.
What’s wrong with that. Given that there was a Lawsuit against Apple on iPhone performance [That they Lost] they know better now.
Well, Apple is making the iPad become mostly about education and prosumers market; netizens are very angry because they want the iPad for entertainment uses only.
Sounds like they are doing a lot of damage control with the constant justifications. As a 2018 iPP owner, I’m not disappointed with no Stage Manager, but I am by the lack of custom/smaller display scaling and lack of proper external monitor support. The features shouldn’t all be tied together and limited to the Mx equipped iPads, surely?
No, they’re not.
The iPad lineup is more diversified than it has ever been before from price ranges and models offered.
Bore off... Apple are a business and businesses want profits. They're not a charity. They want you to go out and buy new, and to continue to want new... and to then... buy new. Change the record. Your old iPad on iO16 will suck, so, buy "this" instead!
A little lie: Not all iPad M1 have 16GB of RAM. Most M1 models have 8GB.
The M1 is about 30% faster than previous CPU.
So, just tell me how much RAM is needed for this to perform “as you expect it”.
As if you cared for the performance hit in many iPhones each year. You can see the benchmarks every year and older devices perform faster in older IOS versions, now, all of a sudden, you care about the performance…

Even if it takes a few seconds to switch between apps and it can't output to full screen, that is still much better than what we have today.
For some reason I am guessing they will add M1/2/3 Pros with more RAM for even more eyecandy and of course for more money.
I can't recall Apple ever doing a PR tour making excuses like this.
There are a lot of upset folks w/ 2020 iPad Pro's - I have two, but not really that upset. I use an iPad as a tablet - I have too many computers to care.
But for others... I totally understand...

The killer app for the m1 is a window manager, that's inovocation?
No problem but iPad Air 2 was the most popular iPad they have sold because it fits the majority of people's budgets.
Suck it up, people. All hardware has limitations.
It’s weird that every Mac I have used over the past 25 years has had no problems handling onscreen windowing.
Now all of a sudden “windowing” requires insane computing resources that my non-M1 iPad can’t deliver.
Huh.

The A12X and A12Z are 4-year old chips. Be prepared that the M1 iPads get more features that those 4-year old chips don’t.
Samsung devices only gets 4-years worth of updates and then it is over. So before everybody starts screaming bad Apple, on Android it is even worse.
I believe my iPad Air 2 is able to run the latest iPad OS even.

It’s based on average days between releases and # of days since last release. The very first 12.9” iPP existed before the 11” model did, and the 12.9” had a longer time between its first release and its second release, making its average number of days between releases higher.
- 11”
- 466 days between releases on average
- 410 days since last release
- 12.9”
- 499 days between releases on average
