Thank you I didn't listen be harder on them foh

I don’t have a problem with the OS as much as the fact apple doesn’t allow node js style web development. That’s a policy issue rather than an OS issue.

The multitasking-/„window“-management alone is worth to install the beta. And for me, the widgets are awesome now, also.

I'm waiting for my 11" M1 iPad Pro to be delivered today. It will replace my old and tired 1st gen Microsoft Surface Go. This is my 1st iPad. In the past, I haved purchased cheap tablets (Amazon). When the Surface Go was launched I was really happy! Finally! A 2-in-1! But the lackluster performance had me going through buyers remorse. To make my iPad more like the Surface it will replace, I'm going to buy the Logitech Combo Touch case and keyboard. I liked having the detachable keyboard on my Surface when I wanted to use it as a tablet. Now I'll be able to do the same with my iPad.😃

Idk why everyone is complaining, the people who get an iPad (even the Pro) know they don't need a macbook or laptop. Their iPad could do everything.

What is that iPad case

iPad os is Going to REMAIN IPAD centric… the overall community is expecting things that apple never specifically hinted ; stated or promised

This means… iOS windowing system… not macOS windowing and Mission Control

iOS packaged apps … meaning iOS Dev kit apps … the pro apps that we love from macos where made using their own code kits including apples own pro apps

What this does mean is app developers get the chance to design and make the best apps for iPad instead of dragging and dropping why they created for something else including other Apple products

Tgis is no different then apple making the mouse for the original Mac’s apple didn’t want developers to bring their command line based apps over and calling it a day it eventually let those apps in but within the Visual user interface they created fir new computers

Furthermore the store of the iPad has always been the user and apples 3rd party app developers who are unlocking more capabilities within the device … the iPad Pro never had a narrative other then being more flexible for creators

If Apple gives what ppl want in iPad Os then it will cannibalize its Macbook sales…

Beta

So basically: Meh

I literally have the most powerful media consumption device on earth.

Sadly iPadOS is still a bit of a toy OS and just not enough to get the best out of the iPadPro

Better to just buy the cheapest iPad you can get.

I expected at least:

1. Multi User support like MacOS, Windows, Linux, Unix, Android has had for ages.
2. External screen output at native external screen resolution and not just screen mirror but a proper second screen
3. Definitely expected more from the file manager, at least offering ability to format external storage with different filesystems. Seems like they finally got a copy status indicator. Keen to see if it also works copies over network?
4. Support more filesystems for external storage
5. Consolidate all settings for keyboard, mouse, pen in one menu option rather than scattered everywhere
6. On the topic of mouse and keyboard the use of it can still be improved, mouse input using web office productivity apps on Safari is still flakey for both O365 and Google Docs.
7. Need a proper app tray. At least we finally got one like iOS got last year already, but still way off MacOS, Android or pretty much any other OS has had for many years. I really really don't need all my damn apps on my desktop like I'm a toddler.
8. Ability to place widgets and shortcuts anywhere allowing me to have a clean clutter free desktop. Even now saying you can is total BS when in actual fact they still force the top left grid layout
9. Full on MacOS Safari and Chrome from the Mac. Not glorified desktop like mobile versions. Online design services like Marvel Apps or even AWS consoles work well on desktop but simply does not work well on iPad. Heck some online services like Sendgrid, the console just crashes on login.
10. Perhaps a bit more freedom to sideload apps. Really frustrating that apps like Synology DSGet is not allowed on iOS. (I know this will ever happen)
11. Hopefully all that Mac Silicone productivity/pro apps make their way to iPad too like full MS Office rather than the current gimped mobile version. Would love to also see Flutter, final cut, Adobe suite, xcode on it.
