Welcome to Apple's House of M

I decided to write down this very post on an M1 iPad running iPadOS 16, just to see how it would be with Stage Manager and the other upgrades.

In any case, Stage Manager can be enabled by going to Control Center, accessed by swiping down the right-hand corner of your iPad, and a new icon will be there toward the bottom. Worse still, when I switched off Stage Manager, windows would merge with each other, displaying in the split-screen multitasking view that iPad users have been accustomed to since iOS 11. Oddly, when I decided to resize the two apps, the one on the right would change from Weather to something else that was in Stage Manager previously.

One shining positive here that must be mentioned, is external display support. Finally arriving with Stage Manager, connecting the iPad to my 1440P 27-inch monitor was a sight to behold, and it rendered iPadOS correctly, alongside the four other apps in this view. But again, the above issues were there for me, so the intricacies of Stage Manager did dampen the experience slightly here.

The apps you have in Stage Manager now show here too, and you’d think that you could select the apps in this view. But instead, it just freezes the same view you’re in, and you can’t bring one of the four apps to the forefront through here., so to see some improvement here towards its release later this year would be welcome.

In Stage Manager though, I can have YouTube and Safari in their own windows, and I can resize YouTube to be the same size as a PiP, but with a timeline scrubber. It renders PiP pointless in these situations due to the better control I have here in Stage Manager.Look, I know multitasking on iPad has needed a redesign for a few years now, but using Stage Manager in its current state, I’m constantly reminded of how Safari in iOS 15 went in 2021.
