The Z Fold 4, despite it being a phone, has an edge over the iPad Pro. This might explain iPadOS 16's surprising new feature.
The new Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a phone that offers better multitasking and power user features than an iPad Pro
This taskbar stays on the bottom of the screen wherever you go, so you can either switch between apps quickly, or drag apps from it onto your currently-open app, to run two apps at the same time. Maybe drag a third app for three apps at the same time, even. Maybe a fourth app for more – you can! As an Android power user, Samsung has truly empowered you to do the crazy things you'd expect to be able to, on a device like this.
Why does a niche Samsung phone offer a better power user experience than the wildly popular iPad meant for professionals? So as of 2019, me being an iPad user and fan, I was hoping for better multitasking features to arrive each following year. Something akin to how multitasking works on Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, or even Samsung DeX.
The Apple Pencil you can use with your iPad Pro has a hard plastic tip, which, when pressed against the tablet's glass screen, always felt pretty unpleasant to me. Hard plastic against hard glass doesn't glide as naturally or collide as naturally as one would hope for, especially compared to the S Pen's soft tip, which does feel quite like using a real marker.
The second, even more powerful way you can multitask on the Z Fold 4 is by enabling Samsung DeX – which brings you an entirely different desktop, with a taskbar, and all of your apps will start opening in resizable windows.
