MOTHER OF ALL MULTI TASKING!!!!

 

[McCool71]

Bring in other applications, calendar, notes. Tap on divider and get SplitView. Multi-app, multi-touch. New task switcher, full screen previews of apps. Finger-swipe from the slide brings in an app, "SlideOver"

As on every Samsung Tablet (and their flagship phones with larger screens) since 2013...

Of course back then this was called useless gimmicks that no-one needed since it is only possible to do one thing at a time...

iOS 9 on the iPad is a monster. The reason for the 2GB of RAM on the iPad Air 2 is obvious now. Notice how split view is only on Air 2.

If I switch to Android, I better switch to Android soon, because at this rate I'll have no other reason to go to Android except customization.

PIP! That took way too long. I can see myself using my iPad a lot more now. Another smart implementation. I'm surprised with the feature updates. Hopefully they focus on cleaning up the stability and performance as well.

 

[Tech198]

Now if we can only drag context one app to the other like dragging password in split screen that would be good too.

Splitview on ipad only makes sense = bigger screen

 

[highend]

AMIGA had better multitasking in 1985.... anyone remember?

 

[Rogifan]

Craig didn't show dragging data from one app to other. I wonder if that will work with multitasking?

 

[gotluck]

ah i missed what explicitly is only compatible with air 2

 

[adnbek]

Woahhhhhhh picture in picture!!!

 

[AustinIllini]

Supported on one iPad. Come on, Apple.

 

[bushido]

thats why they gave the iPad Air 2 two GB of ram

 

[CJM]

Dat hardware gating.

 

[Rogifan]

Split view only available on Air 2.

 

[TsMkLg068426]

Still waiting to hear about the new Music Streaming service from Apple and the moment of all the iTunes Match customers going to rage.

 

[pk7]

Slideover for iPad Air/Air 2, Mini 2 and Mini 3

Splitview for iPad Air 2 only

 

[MH01]

What! Split view only on newest iPad. Lame Apple

 

[Narcaz]

YES!!! Picture in Picture. It is so annoying.

 

[apolloa]

Go outside and exercise then. I don't know what to tell you. It's a developers conference.

Yeah, wow it's REALLY beneficial for developers to know it tells you what magazine you're looking at.

 

[vega07]

What about multitasking for iPhone?

 

[jbachandouris]

Low power mode? Really? I like it, but I seem to recall hearing of that somewhere else...

 

[bpeeps]

Ahahahahahahahahahaha. Beautiful. Upgrade that iPad Air, folks.

 

[willydimes]

but it doesn't seem like they allow multi tasking to watch a video and be in safair or to have 2 powerful apps at once only one app and then notes or something like that

 

[Nausicaa]

ipad air or higher?

ipad air 2 or higher?

what will it be?

Given the recent sales figures for iPad, I think you know the answer. And given the constant app crashing on my Air I doubt it has the horsepower anyway.

E: Air 2 only confirmed. Haha, **** you Apple. I'm so done with your BS.

 

[macduke]

That's another benefit of 2GB of RAM in the iPad Air 2. Eat it haters lol. More RAM is always better.

 

[FriednTested]

They aren't going to open up the API's for the NFC chip it seems.
