I have a deep feeling that AI and Apple Intelligence are consuming a significant amount of development resources at Apple, which could explain why this year’s releases are so buggy.

I’m concluding that without an external screen, multitasking on the iPad is best experienced with Stage Manager. It’s a more controlled experience (hence requiring less management). With an external monitor, then going all in with windowing is the way to go. That’s my conclusion anyway.

With flexibility comes mandatory management. That’s the case with iPadOS multitasking. Ideally, management should be kept at the minimum. That’s not the case with the current state of iPadOS windowing system. It. Is. So. Cumbersome. It. Is. A. Regression.
