Apple has announced a handful of simple changes to its iPad software, that for a great many customers should mean they no longer need to buy a MacBook as well.
Apple, for reasons known only to itself, has reversed its longstanding and very lucrative practice of giving customers exactly what Apple needs for maximum profitability, and has instead started to give customers exactly what they, the customers, want.
All that is set to change, however, and for the first time we can remember, Apple is about to give its customers of its recent M1 iPads exactly what they’ve been asking for. It’s giving us here in the Digital Life Labs everything we’ve been begging for, for years.
None of that would be much good if the iPad still had a windowing system that only allowed full- or split-screen apps, and so Apple has fixed that too, adding its “Stage Manager” windowing system that works the way MacOS or Windows does . Yes, these are all simple things that other computers have been able to do forever, that have been conspicuous in their absence on the iPad. But couple them with Apple’s brilliant M1 processor and the iPad really could become the universal device many of us have been waiting for, and the best computer ever released.
