Let me see here, iPad-only features over the past year…🤔 Let’s name just a few:
- Stage Manager (multi-windowing)
- External Monitor support (included in Stage Manager on iPad’s with M1).
- Virtual Memory Swap
- DriverKit
- Desktop-Class Apps
- More Space Scaling
- Apple Pencil Hover
- Reference Mode
- Final Cut Pro
- Logic Pro
There are likely several others I’m missing, but there are lots of improvements for the iPad over the last year. And I think it’s laughable you don’t want to count Stage Manager as a big feature! 🤣. Like, year before last, I didn’t have multi-windowing, external monitor support, etc. Now I do have these things, and it makes a big difference for productivity. That’s a big new feature. Whether you think it should have existed a while ago or not is irrelevant, because year before it didn’t exist, this year it does, so it IS a big improvement.
