iPad Pro iPad Pro and IOS 13 what's on your list?

Ok, thank you for your... concerning experience Kazmac. Hopefully this won’t grow as an issue comparable to the Butterfly Keyboard, because I switched to the iPad Pro partly because of the keyboard issue on MacBooks... Now I’m considering the combination iPad Pro + Mac Mini.
[doublepost=1554426090][/doublepost]Now, going back to the main topic, things that I expect from iOS 13 on iPad:

- A proper file management app, like an iOS Finder, that allows me...
- Free access to external storage to any kind of files, just like on Finder.
- They could call it finder, why not? And using a similar happy face icon for it.

- A better external screen management. Not just mirroring, but adapting the content to 16:9 or 16:10 screens.
- Independent screen management, allowing us have one app on our iPad, and another one on the external screen.
- I would go even further: Spaces for iOS. Having multiple, custom spaces for both our iPad screen and the external screen.

I think those two features, a revamped file management and a new, more capable external screen management are two key factors to approach the iPad Pro to a Pro audience.

And one more thing...

- Mouse/Trackpad/Pointer support. Not using an arrow, but a small circle. You read it here first, guys :)

I honestly think allowing a pointer support, to be able to use a mouse or a trackpad, would add a lot of precision, but that’s not going to happen, as we all know Apple, and how they want to differentiate the iOS lineup from their macOS one. Otherwise one category could cannibalize the other. As it is, we can end up buying an iPad, and a Mac.

Of course if you want non-mirrored apps on external monitors, then you’d need some sort of cursor support. Either that or touch monitors.

Oh, you’re right! Then I’m afraid we won’t see it soon... :(
Although I think that there are some apps which are already adapted to external displays... but just to display content, not to work on it.

Why "wait or want" for Apple when you can get all of this on another OS.....I dont wait for technology; no reason to if it's already available......
 
External storage support
Multiple instances of a single app
Multitasking that doesn’t make me want to pull my hair out
Native file system
And mouse support... which of course will never happen.

Same here. I also want the same deal for a specced out 15” MBP. (To be clear: I do NOT want touch input—only mouse and pen input.)

Without getting into the whole OS vs OS thing, suffice it to say not all OSes are equal. Plenty of reasons why one would prefer one over another.

Samsung notebook 9 Pen is okay but 1080p 16:9
Asus zenbook flip S is slick but same issue
Surface Book has a great screen but weird hinge and too big and heavy
Would love a matebook x pro in convertible..

Yes. I wait. Because it's available but not good enough. My standards seem to be much higher than average. (Bluetooth truly wireless I will be waiting a long time for example..)
For now, I use a Wacom on PC and Note 8
 
Another thing popped in while using my phone. It's more like a bug, but Hotspot is either not working or it relies on WIFI being on to work which is rather weird. I expect to switch on Mobile data and hotspot and to see the iPhone as a source for WIFI connection on my laptop.

Nope. It does not happen. I have to also toggle on the WIFI switch for some reason. It does not matter if it's just WIFI or USB sharing. In both cases the hotspot itself does not work properly. Every time I try to use it, it takes like 5 minutes to set it up properly. That for me is insane amount of time to waste in something like that.

Yours is a 11” or a 12.9”? I’m trying to make a correlation and see if it’s predominant on one size than the other. Yes, I know both models can show this behavior, but it’s just a matter of statistics. Thank you
[doublepost=1554384307][/doublepost]
Like I asked above, would you be so kind to tell what size do you own? It’s for statistics only. 11” or 12.9”?
Thank you.

12.9". The 4th one still has the unresponsive touchscreen glitch.
 
I just hope Apple add more multitasking features, being able to open more content side by side would be great. Maybe some new Apple Pencil swipes or gestures?

From what I’ve read in Bloomberg articles, IOS 13 is going to get a big update. Maybe they will also redesign the home screen, maybe make it look less like an iPhone.
 
I posted in this thread my big wish list, but I just wanted to specify that if I got these two features (kind of mentioned in the list), I’d be happy since they frustrate me the most on a daily basis:
- open at least two simultaneous notes in notes.app
- somehow force developers (google) to support multitasking with their apps (gmail)
I think those are very reasonable wishes.

My top not-so-reasonable (aforementioned) wish is remote iPhone. This is equally frustrating on a daily basis as I VERY often have to go to my phone (which usually sits charging at home) to use apps that for some reason or another I can’t use on my iPad (my mini acts as my phone/consumption device at home). So I want my iphone’s screen on my iPad and the ability to control it when it’s on the same WiFi network. But I don’t think that one would happen.

I hear ya. Personally what I’d like to see are just all iPhone only apps (at least the Apple native ones) to get iPad versions as well. Like the phone app - yes, I get calls on my iPad, but we can’t access voicemails through the FaceTime app, so I can’t really screen calls. An iPad version with voicemail access would be very helpful. Same with all the other missing iPhone apps.

That would be more ideal. But there are other reasons besides missing apps too, like apps with arbitrary limits on number of devices, apps not syncing across devices, etc. Ideally, those wouldn’t be issues, but until then a remote phone function would be a good catch all solution.
 
File system and mouse support.

I’d be able to use my iPad Pro for everything at that point (considering photoshop is on the way) which would be awesome for me.
[doublepost=1555022121][/doublepost]Also, how about a stock freaking calculator.....

What does everyone think of these rumours? will these features make you happy if the rumours are true?

Not clear on exactly how the new multiple window cards thing is supposed to work, but it could potentially be a big step forward, assuming it works well and apps actually support it. The rest of the features are welcome but pretty minor for me.
 
Our most demanded request for the iPad is not on those leaks, sadly. No revamped files app, no external storage, let alone mouse/trackpad support.

I guess Apple doesn't want to canibalize its Macbook lineup

In my opinion if you need a mouse/trackpad then by a Mac. The iPad is not and probably never will be a device that uses a mouse or trackpad.

A revamped Files app was mentioned by Mark Gurman a while back, it may still happen.

Don't agree on this. A mouse is useful when connecting to (and using) an external display. Also when doing remote desktop into a mac or pc, although for that a (relatively expensive) solution already exists.
