iOS16 features: basically if anyone has questions about any of the listed items, just ask a Pixel user. 

As I've said in a status update, majority of the visual changes in iOS 16 is NOT inspired by Android but by the jailbreaking community.

MacBook Air with detachable keyboard with dual OS modes would be sweet, can't see any reason why that would be a problem or worse in any real way. We have M1 powered iPads already and you can pair keyboards with them too, what you cannot do is use one like the other.

i would rather they did something similar to Samsung DeX.

take your ipad, plug it into a dock with a monitor and you now have a M1 powered computer without having to buy another computer. and no, the current way it works is not good enough. it needs to be treated like a separate screen with full resolution and ratio support, not just mirror the ipad and have ugly black bars everywhere with a more desktop like UI.

i imagine when the stuff comes out there will be lots of videos from the usual places going over how well it works and where it falls short, but at this stage, it's interesting looking if nothing else.

probably, just like the early days of DeX. but at least it's something

They’ve also added the same thing to macOS. I’ll probably stick to using virtual desktops myself (I refuse to call it spaces), but I’ll definitely give it a go at some point to see if it makes sense for any of my workflows

What if Stage Manager looks the way it looks (floating stacks of windows on the side at arm's reach) because after macOS and iPadOS it will also be used on a third yet unannounced OS...an OS where windows literally float before your eyes and where the input method makes it inconvenient to cmd+tab or use gestures to swap Spaces...

So, realityOS?

Edit: I realise now after posting, the intent...

Exactly. 

Hence creating a unified multitasking experience across macOS-iPadOS-realityOS.

 I have tried Stage Manager on my 16" MBP and I found it to useful in my workflow. I always forget the virtual desktops are there and never use them.

 

I have also downloaded a free window tiling manager called Tiles. Together with Tiles and Stage Manager I can now efficiently manage my windows and group them without clutter. Stage Manager also focuses on the window/s you have clicked on and moves the rest of the windows to the "Stage dock".

 

I also like Stage Manager is a toggle( optional) and you can auto-hide the side Stage dock as well

Sincerely doubtful.

Also doubtful.

 

While it's too much to go "Apple thought this thing whole-cloth with no outside inspiration", it's more likely users were simply asking for it long before any Android or jailbreaking introduced it.

 

A lot of stuff I see demanded of iOS and MacOS aren't because some competitor has the feature, but rather it's workflow change that just made sense, and in some cases (like USB-C on iphones and ipads) the lack of that feature is holding back adoption in certain fields of work. Features that you see in iOS/iPadOS and MacOS tend to be aimed towards creative industries. 

 

Android has yet to find a niche anywhere except with Java developers.

oh bravo...I had wondered why it looked the way it did...seems a bit "un-mac" like to me really.....hadn't put the obvious 2+2 together.

Waiting for those davinci resolve benchmarks, GB doesn't tell the full story.

 

Split on either m2 or 3080/3070 this summer

 

Windows laptops are still way better in terms of gpu power, but extremely expensive... (m16 for example)

Weird thing to benchmark, but i freely admit to not understanding this level of the computer.

I would say it’s more of Power Metal than Heavy Metal
