Hahaha, some will knock their heads on the table now, repeating "oh no, we all bought this for playing around, does that mean we'll have to actually do things now with the iPad?"Okay THIS is interesting. Actual productivity coming to iOS?!

LOL. How is this any different? There is already a file system called iCloud drive or whatever storage service.
Until there's a lot more functional integration with macOS then iOS will remain a small device/consumer oriented platform. Perhaps the Files thing is a move in that direction, perhaps it isn't.Apple gave the iPad a little love in iOS 9, but as a whole, could do a better job of tailoring iOS for tablets.
The Files app is more like an "intelligent folder" in Mac OS, or a Folder containing aliases, not real documents. The documents are inside the application-defined space, under sandboxing rules. The Files app creates aliases of those documents, by means of rules or dragging and dropping them from the "file selector".
Simple, but a must for the iPad Pro line!
I don't know if Apple was waiting for APFS. That could explain we had to wait so long!
If Macs are to eventually go the ARM route then at some point won't all/most of the Utility Mac Apps like Activity Monitor, Disk Utility etc etc. all have to be released in the app store as iOS compatible apps?!
(Obviously Disk Utility would have no real practical application on an iPhone or iPad due to lack of ports, but for an ARM based Mac with USB-C ports it would have the same use as it always has)
I'm not sure you get what I mean. If Apple went to ARM for Macs then they'd probably use a beefed up X variant of what they use now in the iPad Pro's etc. Mac OS would need writing for ARM (Which I'm sure they have internally) and so would all of the support apps that come with Mac OS - they'd work on any 64-bit supported iOS device aside to the new line of macs, rather than be developed for them specifically.
So much excitement over one word and a icon whose functionality or purpose is completely unknown.
I cannot believe how people are whining 'no file management boohooohoooo' but haven't found this in the process of looking for an alternative.
You must be fun at parties.
let me break it out for you then.I don't see how a file manager will be beneficial for iPhone users.
Great news.
Let's hope the open/save dialogs are consistent at the app level too. And clean up the broken Share Drawer. And drag and drop.
I'm getting greedy...
let me break it out for you then.
1st Case: You record your voice and then to listen it faster or slower "You need another app for that!" You share it and now you have 2 copies. There's a section to be edited, another app for that. You tap share button and this your third copy. Let's say Google Drive is your go to app for sharing things on the go; fourth copy. The first two are original recordings and the last two are edited versions.
2nd Case: There's a markdown document in your OneDrive space. OneDrive can't open it. You need an app for that. You edit it, put it back to OneDrive and the result is 3 different copies so far.
Edge cases? Maybe for snapper kids...
I don't know how many duplicates I have in my iPhone and iPad anymore. It most certainly would take me hours to clean those. At this point, only a built in version control app would help. On my Mac? I have none! Perfectly clean.

Sorry for assuming you were just parroting things I heard before instead of it being the actually genuine question that it was.
still making great products.
System wide copy paste frag and drop between split screen apps pleeeeeeeeass
