Great review. Keep on making videos about Stage Manager.
question: what happens with the gesture to open quick notes if the shortcut to put an app in stage manager mode is the same? (in the bottom right corner)
You cant use it in stage manager mode
@SnakeEater oh man.. 🙁
but thanks anyway
About the blank in Safari and other apps using Stage Manager, I think it might have something to do with the shortcut as noticed that the app you are launching is not actually the app itself rather than a custom-icon shortcut. When you open the NBA2K there isn’t such problem. Just a guess
Oh wow haha I just commented this! Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks this. This was my instant thought when the issue was displayed in the video
A HUGE addition is the being able to hang up the phone with Siri. I work with people who can not use their hands because of disabilities and that is a feature that is not available on any platform that I am aware of at this time. I will be recommending that all of my people get iPhones now that need that. It is so important to give them all the independence that they can.
I believe this wasn’t mentioned (correct me if I’m wrong):
iPhone apps, like instagram, are resizable vertically (albeit without any additional scaling. Before they stayed tiny and were impossible to resize.
I personally love Stage Manger compared to the current multitasking system. The current way took so much time for me to set up each time, that I’ve never really used it. I think Stage Manager will make my iPad way more useful for me, especially for work
Apps that open in Portrait mode now opens in Landscape mode. Examples of such apps are MyDlink and Filmr. On an external monitor, I was unable to resize or move windows on an External monitor. The bug that crashes the IPAD when linking on a link in their native Mail app has still not been resolved.
I’m dying to know about the Files app. Do the new features actually improve file management or are they mostly cosmetic? Decent file management has topped my iPadOS wish list for years.
I think they should try making a really useful graphing calculator type of calculator app for the iPad. Thinking back to my high school days, that would’ve been insanely useful. Wouldn’t need a TI-83 or whatever, and they could make it several times simpler and more intuitive. I had to graph equations all the time, and the extra space on an iPad would be perfect for graphing.
I was surprised no reviewer was talking about how the vertical/portrait oriented only apps work in stage manager. This is a huge deal for iPad users especially using it with magic keyboard. How can you guys miss this issue as a professional reviewer? What a shame
Apple needs to add an expose view within stage manager. Or at the very least a faster way to move the overlapping apps into a birds eye view.
that would be cool!
“Give Apple some time…” Don’t forget to give DEVELOPERS time. They are the ones that need to make their app work properly for the feature.
Is it possible to run desktop versions of programs on m1 or newer versions of ipad running on ipad os16?
Question. Why has Freeform not carried over the functionality of Apple notes drawing feature that allows the shape to snap into a perfect version?
