Yeah I don't get the reason Federighi stated about the calc app. They don't need to create a fullscreen calculator. Just make a "floating" app sort of like how picture in picture functions....
Got a tip for us?

I don’t see the Website translation feature on Safari and how can I see which sites used cross tracking?
Correction on the iPadOS search while in apps - this has been supported for years via keyboard shortcut CMD-space will bring up search and allow searching while the app continues to run in the background. Handy for quick calculator/calculations or quick searching.
I believe you don't have to write directly into the text field. Anywhere close-by will work just as well. This is more for the people who are using the Pencil as the primary input device. It's a nice addition to not have to switch to finger taping and repositioning your pen grip.
I love the new "features" but I am always surprised how adjustments are posited as features. What I mean is something as basic as showing the toolbar all the time, instead of swiping down. It seems that can be a 0.0.x update, as opposed to an entirely new one.
They really do need to revamp initiating split screen. It’s too unintuitive/convoluted for apps not in the dock, and it’s so annoying that it requires long press. Frequent actions should never require long presses.
Not directly related to the article, but I have a question: I tried several times to put two Music app windows in Split View on my iPad Pro (I read somewhere that is possible), without luck...any suggestion on how to do it?
Love these videos, especially since I’m not putting beta software on my iPad. It’s my daily driver.
I read a great iPadOS 14 review at the Sweet Setup. The reviewer noted the potential for using the new search function to launch Shortcuts, which was something I hadn’t thought of. Seems like a potentially excellent feature.
Interestingly, he also had some concerns about the new smaller call/Siri interface. Basically, worrying about things like missing Siri activation if he was working in the left app during split screen.

I used to spend sick days at my dad’s office trying to master the specific Newton handwriting.
