Having played with it on my M1 iPad, seems like they really nailed the interaction with this release. It feels like it always should have worked this way, unlike Stage Manager, which was just kind of weird.
The sad part is, of course, that Apple still hasn’t addressed the-useless-for-real-productivity part of the iPad. The fact that you can’t even open the web inspector in Safari strikes me as patently absurd. (Only remote inspection is possible, achieved by connecting your iPad to your Mac with a USB cable. Really, Apple?)
I don't get it why is performance such a massive issue that they still need to have an artificially low limit on the number of windows.
M-series iPads are more powerful than most of Apple's Mac Pros were. They have 8GB of RAM, but until recently so did Apple's best-selling MacBook models.
