Things are a bit more rough on the iPadOS side at the moment with Stage Manager, especially if you plan on using an external display.
IPAD LOCK SCREEN INSTALL
If you’re looking to install it on your devices, here’s what I’d say: this beta is pretty stable on iPhone, with the occasional banking app that doesn’t work yet on iOS 16. Today’s public beta is the same version of the third developer beta that came out last week.
IPAD LOCK SCREEN DRIVERS
1 As you can imagine given my annual reviewer responsibilities, I installed both iOS and iPadOS 16 as soon as they became available after the WWDC keynote on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and 12.9” iPad Pro with M1, and I’ve been using them as my daily drivers for the past month. We’re going to have overviews of all these public betas today on MacStories. Today, Apple is releasing the first public betas of all the operating systems that will launch to the wider public later this year: iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13 Ventura, and watchOS 9. And in this case, not even my wildest expectations could have predicted that, in one fell swoop a week later, Apple would reimagine iPadOS around desktop-class apps and a brand new multitasking with external display integration, a new design, and – the unthinkable – overlapping, resizable windows with iPadOS 16.
Like I said, sometimes I do have excellent timing with my stories. So when I published that story just in time for WWDC, I did it because a) that’s when it was ready and b) I wanted to bring some chaotic energy into the iPad discourse and see what would happen. Great hardware held back by lackluster software had long been regarded as the core weakness of the iPad platform I hadn’t always agreed with the Apple community’s “consensus” on this, but an M1 iPad Pro carrying MacBook Pro-like specs with no new pro software features to take advantage of it was, indeed, a bridge too far.
That story was born out of a desire to get to know macOS again after years of iPad-only work as I shared at the time, my curiosity was also the byproduct of Apple’s incoherent narrative for iPad power users for the past couple of years. Sometimes I truly have excellent timing with my stories.Īs you may recall, a couple of months ago in the lead-up to WWDC, I published an article on my experience with using the M1 Max MacBook Pro for six months.
