Exactly, Apple users are sophisticated and regardless of the blog posts in regards to widgets, no one cares. It is negligent besides the weather, Home automation and Device statistics. Everything else is silly.

Here's to hoping for more available Ram usage for apps in iPadOS. 👍 ProCreate painters would welcome the extra layers that would give them.
Yeah - Apple Robert also pointed this out to me. Between Costco and Apple’s expanded holiday return window, I thought it was 30 days. Oh well, I guess I’m stuck with this damn 12.9” 16/1 IPP…life is indeed rough. ;-)Sorry to disappoint you but the return window is 14 calendar days from the day you receive it.

Don't care about widgets on the home screen, but overhauling the way multitasking works is long overdue.
Multitasking really needs to change drastically if they want to invite productivity. The absence of a pagefile threatens the integrity of your work as soon as you switch into another app and used all of your RAM until then - because when returning, you will find your work purged.
Everyone needs to chill. I'm sure that this article is not an exaustive list of what will be new for iPadOS.
Improved multitasking wouldn't be hard. I had to turn it off completely because the UI was unusable - mysterious apps popping up in sidebars that can't be dismissed through any sane gesture and weren't wanted in the first place.
How about an actual local storage file system? For example what if we need to work in remote areas with no networks, and we need to quickly share files between apps? Currently the iPad becomes extremely tedious to work with in these conditions, when iCloud is not accesible.
Few years ago I was suspicious on why Apple is being so slow with innovating their own products and ecosystem, now I'm just sure that's on a purpose... and it doesn't look well for me. I expect much more from a billion status Apple. If you gonna charge me so much, at least let's be even. I have my demands too, Apple and I'm telling you.. you're getting to suck really good in 2021.. That's my general view on the tech industry right now.
they focus on other suff now unfortunately, tech isn't what they focus on
Profit is their King, and I just don't want to see how ugly they aim to go to get there.. Wish we people wake up sooner before it gets really bad for us, because we give those billionaires reasons to treat as like fools..
They should revise the automation and shortcut app, so that I do not have to click to allow that an app is opened as soon as a bluetooth device is connected.
It is simply ridiculous to call something like that automation. Really disappointed by what is offered in this regard.

Getting widgets on iPad home screen should be a .x (e.g 14.6) update not a major yearly upgrade. Unacceptable! Why wait a whole year for it to come out, they should have released it last year or mid year update. There are no hardware limitations too. The chips are far ahead. Makes sense to bundle with iOS 14 widgets release year.
I bet its to delay their schedule so they get more time on other software features. The widgets are not interactive anyway, just static.
And its about time we get new multitasking for iPad because right now if you are in an app there is no way to add another app to multitasking unless it’s been opened recently and it’s there in the dock. You have to close opened app then open new one then split screen previous app. Doesnt make sense Apple! What were they thinking in designing and prototyping.

I'm a bit confused here. There is a local shared/public folder, in Files it's called "On my iPad", I can save a .GIF in it (or in a subfolder I create) with KeyNote and then in iMovie I can use the file picker to navigate to any folder there and open it. It seems like a version of My Documents on PCs. Firefox saves to a Downloads folder there as well.
I always thought it was an issue of apps not supporting it and not implementing file pickers/save dialogs rather than Apple not giving access. Am I missing something?

Its not just software though which we have seen in the past.
Seeing that Mark says most of the software will have minor improvements that itself tells me that we need better event.
So, my desire is few hardware surprised - Apple Cinema Display, maybe Mac Pro mini with December launch and or MBP . Big iMac could also show up but I feel that will come in fall with M2 variant.
The whole chip shortage is messing everything up though so its very difficult to predict.

These sound like fairly minor improvements. There are some really major headline features such as proper external display support that will be essential in iPadOS 15 now we have the M1 iPad Pro and are long overdue - maybe this will be part of the improved multitasking support?
Lets also hope that the iPhone apps displaying on their side in the middle of a black screen is a thing of the past - I agree this is mainly down to laziness on the part of developers, but I probably there are some apps that only need an iPhone sized layout, so having this display properly in landscape mode, perhaps as a slide over app or whatever would be worth doing. Currently these apps annoy me so much I usually delete them immediately.
