IpadOS utterly 🐕💩 for every "PRO" User.
I am beyond baffled at the approach Apple takes. They ignore everything and keep doing the bare minimum so they can keep milking.
Got an M4 Ipad, utterly useless as a Desktop with an external Display. Like others said: File System, Stage Manager, Input devices customization MouseKeyboard, and so on.
Unbelivable

Notes thing is cool but overall….damp squib. Why not do the window snapping thing they stole
From Windows for Sequoia into iPadOS? Stage manager is a total mess to arrange windows on iPad Pro

You get to see that huge balance on your credit card with a million to one contrast ratio, thanks to Apple's groundbreaking double OLED technology.
As long as Apple gets a 30% commission on app subscriptions and sales for every iPadOS app, they will never take the training wheels off.
To be fair, Logic Pro on iPad Pro is pretty damn impressive. Final Cut Pro less so.
Enable. Damn. Virtualisation. On apple silicon iPads . Pro users can use it , others won’t even know it exists
I was holding off upgrading in the faint hope they'd possibly introduce multi-user accounts like MacOS now that these iPad Pros + MKB cost more than a MacBook... nope, so FY Apple!
so the biggest update to iPadOS was the calculator?
iPad with incredibly powerful M chip...check. Keyboard and mouse support...check. iOS18 brings...calculator app...uncheck.
I agree Logic is amazing. But Apple shouldn't have to be the only people who can really utilise the power of the hardware. I sort of want to cry when I imagine what would be possible with just simply enabling virtualisation as you suggest.
I like the sound of these AI features, I must admit. I'm just agog at them putting the M4 and an incredible display and pen on the iPad essentially to edge the world forever on its powerful unrealised capabilities

It's not unusable, it's just not as robust and bug free as it should be, and I was hoping to hear they're making improvements with this release. I bought an M2 iPad Pro when it was the most current chip, and I really thought I'd be able to take advantage of the power of the chip beyond gaming. I wish I had gone with an M1 iPad Air instead.
I'm probably selling one of my new iPads. They are VERY nice, but Apple is going nowhere with them, while the rest of the industry is on fire. Like Stage Manager didn't need work? Wtf.
I'll try some other things.

Math Notes seems like Desmos online calculator with writing. Having it straight in the Notes app is cool though.
LOL what a joke... brand new $1200 M4 iPad Pro for a calculator app... I swear I dont understand Apple's business strategy here.
I would like an option to have MacOS on an iPad. Doesn't have to be the only option, for those who do not want it, but it should be an option.
A $5 Casio is infinitely better anyway.
Only available on m4 and above
No, IMO. Arm Windows yes. There's absolutely no excuse for this. I can see a reason not to use Mac OS, but Apple does not listen to its customer base any longer. I'm not a happy camper. There's apparently corporate disfunction now. Very common with lack of leadership (ok, so I'm pissed LOL)
Just because you do not want it, doesn't mean nobody does. I would buy one in a heartbeat.
That will never happen as long as Apple gets a 30% cut of app sales on iPadOS.
Virtualisation would’ve been the best of both worlds. I have a 2tb 16gb m1 iPad Pro; they took out the virtualisation framework out of spite from iOS15. People were running Windows 11 on UTM beautifully smoothly before that.
Insanity.
