Other Split-screen multitasking on iPhone 12?

Anyone know if any of the iPhone 12 models will have split-screen multi-tasking?

No they won’t unless iOS 14 introduces it.

And hello to you too!

Doubt it. Even with 6.1” screen doing split-screen multitasking is not very useful. The screen is just too small.

It’s possible it could come to IOS 14 but not sure apple will add it. I think their mindset is they think it’s too small to do such a thing. I think on most devices it is but on a future iphone that will be 6.1 and 6.7 it is more than workable.

I use spiltscreen a lot on my iPad Pro 12.9 but then it’s fine when it’s this size.

I would love spilt-screen where half or a third is video and the rest is, for example, safari or forums.

I haven’t read any reports that this was coming but never say never of course.

Other than watching a micro machines size movie in a mini window I don’t see the use though. I need an iPad for split screen to start to make some sense.

I’d be happy with PiP like the iPad.

I think PiP is more something they would look into, allowing all Media apps like YouTube, Netflix, TV+ etc... to do PiP in throughout the OS.

But I am not expecting big features in iOS 14, I think they are going to use it to correct all the gremlins and exploits in iOS 13.

Maybe iOS 15 will bring some more fully fledged multitasking.

Either way, I barely used Splitscreen on my Androids, I actually do not miss it, it’s more a nice to have feature than useful, IMO, I used it a lot on my Note8 for a little while in the beginning then slowly stopped as I got over the novelty.
