    Losing the thread in iPadOS multitasking

    Hey everyone, I often find myself losing track of what I'd been thinking about or working on in any given project because iPadOS does not have the ability to lock (a combination of) windows in place in either the App Switcher or Stage Manager, in a way you might with Spaces in Mission Control on...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max How is the multitasking with 8GB RAM?

    Congratulations to all those who managed to get their 15 Pro Max this week/weekend. Given the apparent upgrade of RAM from 6GB (in 12 PM, 13 PM and 14 PM) to 8GB in the 15 Pro Max, I would love to know if you are seeing significantly more apps staying in RAM/not restarting after you have left...

    Other Possible solutions: Make the app switcher always full and/or eliminate the "not running" state

    The App Switcher on an iPhone always starts out empty after completing setup, then it starts getting filled up as soon as you launch an app for the first time. But because of https://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/10/force-quitting-apps-doesnt-help-battery/, swiping apps out of the App Switcher makes...

    iPad Still can’t use iPad Pro 11 as my daily computer

    On several occasions I’ve tried to use my iPad as my daily computer. Despite Apple’s odd marketing efforts that it’s not a computer but is a computer, I find myself wondering if anyone out there uses the iPad for heavy lifting?

    iPad Pro App Switcher on iPad Pro

    Does anyone know how many apps the app switcher (cmd + tab) will display? I have a bunch of apps open at a time and feel like it only displays a handful. Also, cmd + Q doesn’t kill the app. Instead it removes it from the app switcher; kind of like that feature to be honest! Was curious if anyone...

    iPad Multitasking support: why do developers get to decide?

    I'd like to know why Apple leaves it up to developers to decide if they want to support multitasking. eg. Why does Google get to decide that Gmail app doesn't support it? This is 2019.
