Next Year's iOS 13 Update to Feature iPad-Focused Upgrades Like Revamped Files App

No, no, no. iOS 13 Yukon. Is nothing sacred. Why not iOS 13 Cranberry, or Butter Scotch, or Mint Ting A Ling? Another sign of the upcoming OS merger known in Tim's personal MacBook Pro running a "Black Box" and Apple OS. Arriving Q1 2019. 
I would love it if Apple returns to bug-fixes and performance improvements, instead of the bells-and-whistles approach they've taken the past 4-5 years. Grown men and women don't want a bunch of junk they won't use; they want a rock-solid operating system (on their computer & their phone) that allows them to do what they need to do. That's all.
I guess my iPad mini 4 will be left behind and even if it did get iOS 13, it wouldn’t do well performance-wise. Wish Apple would release a new iPhone X-like iPad mini.
Thing with this is that apps will have to opt-in, and it will be more difficult than the way developers opted in to multitasking. They have to take care that app data isn't mangled by being potentially written in two places at once, and they will have to use file coordinators to make sure that they detect when a change has been caused by user interaction in one window so the other window updates appropriately. Right now developers can generally assume data is being edited in only one place at a time (unless they store data in the cloud).

Seriously. WTF did they get rid of "clear all," and why do they keep trying to bring back a distinction between "old" notifications (which are sometimes just minutes old) and "new" notifications.
Just give us a list, with a clear all button, and the ability to group by app if we want.
[doublepost=1525466774][/doublepost]I just hope they give the mac os which makes as productive as a laptop
Apple has several major iPad-focused features planned for next year's iOS 13 update, codenamed "Yukon," according to information shared by Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman on Twitter.
Apple is said to be working on a revamped Files app, in-app tabs similar to the tabs that are available in macOS apps, support for using the same app side-by-side in Split View multitasking mode, and unspecified improvements to Apple Pencil. Some of this information was previously shared by Gurman in reports on Bloomberg, but details such as a revamped Files app are new.
Gurman also previously said that some features originally planned for iOS 12 will be pushed back to iOS 13 to allow Apple to work on bug fixes and performance improvements. These features include a redesigned Home screen (which will include changes on the iPad) and a revamped Photos app.
iOS 11, the current version of iOS, was also an iPad-focused update, introducing the Files app, a revamped iPad dock, a new App Switcher, Drag and Drop support, new Apple Pencil features like Instant Markup and Instant Notes, a redesigned QuickType keyboard, and more.
iOS 12, coming this year, will offer fewer new features than Apple had originally planned, but Gurman believes Apple will introduce at least one major change that also affects macOS 10.14 - support for cross-platform apps. Apple is said to be working to implement features that would allow apps designed for the iPhone and the iPad to run on the Mac, but there has been some disagreement over when this feature will debut.
Daring Fireball's John Gruber says Apple will not introduce this functionality until iOS 13 and macOS 10.15, so it is unclear if it will indeed be coming in iOS 12. Gurman does, however, often share accurate information on Apple's software updates ahead of their release.
Other features planned for iOS 12 include additional Animoji characters, a new Animoji interface and Animojis on iPad, FaceTime support for Animoji, updated parental controls with a new Digital Health tool to allow parents to better monitor screen time, a revamped Stocks app, an enhanced version of Do Not Disturb, and support for multiplayer augmented reality games.
Apple will unveil iOS 12, macOS 10.14, tvOS 12, and watchOS 5 at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference that kicks off on Monday, June 4. The first day will include a keynote event where Apple will share all of the new features coming in the software updates, and following the keynote, developers will be provided with access to the software to begin to prepare their apps ahead of a fall public launch.

exactly ,i think that they should be able to do a new homescreen etc. and stable os at the same time
MORE Animoji? I think they are cute. But how many does Apple think we need? Are they really that popular?

Files is a piss-poor application. Why on Earth we have to wait 2 more iOS updates just to make a decent files app is beyond belief.
Yup, there’s clearly no technical hurdle. Just Apple being greedy.
So much for that memo warning employees about leaking...
Ios11 was a pretty impressive improvement in the functionality of iPads as a work tool. My iPad Pro is great!
For the next steps for the iPad to really be a possible laptop replacement in the workplace, I would love ios12 to have:
But overall, file management is the biggest issue for the workplace.
On the hardware side, get some usefulness out of the smart connector. There are probably really cool use cases for it that smarter people than me can think of. And I sorta hate to admit it, but utilise a BT mouse for word processing.
For the next steps for the iPad to really be a possible laptop replacement in the workplace, I would love ios12 to have:
- Not just cloud service, but local/remote network access in the Files app, especially simple and clear access to corporate MS Servers. Many workplaces hate cloud services. My iPad Pro user profile for example, actively prevents iCloud access (but strangely, Dropbox and onedrive are allowed), no doubt because the IT department hates Apple.
- The ability to have more than one file open in an app at once. Especially useful for word processing.
- Get split view working more easily and effectively. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, but It’s a bit clunky.
- Multiple users. This would be great for devices deployed where users have occasional use only, eg my workplace would have extra people deployed to do natural disaster impact assessments. Most of the time these people wouldn’t use iPads. Having a pool of actively used iPads available that can be borrowed is more rational that a cupboard full of rapidly getting out of date iPads waiting for the day, which then, in an emergency situation, have to be updated and set up for each new user. Much better to be able to just log on with their corporate account so access, emails etc work immediately, while the ‘owners’ stuff is protected and preserved.

How great (or obvious?) would it be to have FaceID/ToucID automatically recognize and log-in multiple persons.
(Oops, Apple and the obvious)
There’s no technical reason why Face ID couldn’t support more than one face. It actually would be perfect for a multi-user device, taking each user instantly to their own customized home screen/apps/etc.
Files app is the most pathetic turd to fly out of Cupertino. Right now, I don’t even notice it’s there with that ugly a** icon somewhere on my iPad screen.
Someone leaked to Apple what a computer is. We need a special prosecutor.
I once scoffed at Apple focusing so much on the iPad with recent iOS releases, but since acquiring my iPad Pros I’m now using them almost exclusively and appreciate all the improvements.
Have to say with the Files app, as long as Safari is so problematic with downloading files, and as long as iOS has no way to unzip downloaded files, I’ll continue to use Readdle’s Documents. That app has made iOS much more functional.

How about some user profiles?
And before the over zealous Apple enthusiasts respond back with "ipads are personal devices, your 5 year old should have his very own" I disagree and not interested in your shill of an opinion.

How about an amazing calculator for the iPad. Just an idea. But more animojis is probably good too.
Apple executives' goal is to sell more hardware. There is no financial incentive to sell fewer devices that can be shared in a household or workplace.
Remember its all about the money that goes into the pockets of the executives. Otherwise they would do the moral thing and not use loopholes to avoid paying taxes.

See my reply to motm95.
Count me in.
I'm switching my whole family to Android phone and Windows PC this year. will not look back till the day the legendary intuitive and fun user interface comes back.
Seriously. I spent 2 hours on the phone with parents to support their shiny new iMac because they were not able to see the address bar in safari. It’s extremely hard to know that plain white area on top is address bar, or at least an area where user can interact with, unless user has previous experience. This would never happen before ugly flatty OS X 10.10
And to be honest, the latest windows 10 release on Apr 30 looks just beautiful with glass effects and eye pleasing 3D elements. I’m sure it’s less confusing and much more intuitive than flatty macOS for elders like my parents.

Perhaps an iPad version...finally? (Along with Health, Weather, Phone, Calculator, etc...) Would be nice for the iPad to have the entire iOS suite of apps available to it.
