Stage manager and liquid glass were 2nbig flops. Stage manager because it’s unusable and adds clutter to the screen and liquid glass because it makes an m1 ipad pro feel like a 2010 device

I have no idea what stage manager is and I don’t wanna look it up. And I have an iPad. But it’s also running the older ios

Don’t upgrade. Stay as long as you can.

Not an option if you need the latest XCode.

		I mean, do you need the latest xcode? Apps build for older macos still work with new macos. Same with iphone.

It’s just yet another way to manage windows. It’s fully optional, I never even remember it exists. It was introduced in iPadOS 16 / macOS 13.

stage manager is just a worse implementation of the old ‘auto hide other apps’ flag that has been broken for some time now. shame. i preffered that mode and it might have been the default on early builds on os x Steve jobs used it in his presentations.

Yeah it feels like a subpar android device.

I updated from iOS 18 a few days ago to 26 because Claude design needs newer web apis. I m shocked how bad the „windows“ experience is on iPads now. I had no idea.
