How Apple Could Fix Stage Manager in iPadOS 17 and Make Me Happy
I’m leaving for WWDC in a couple of days, and along with some computers and surprises, I’m bringing with me a lot of excitement for the upcoming headset announcement and – as you can imagine – hope that Apple has listened to criticism about Stage Manager and iterated upon the feature introduced last year.
Perhaps this hope is misplaced. When Apple has introduced new multitasking paradigms in years past, they haven’t touched them again for a couple of years, choosing to let them sit there without updates. I want to believe that Stage Manager will be different, whether because it’s going to be the multitasking foundation of the headset, or because I’m wish-casting, or simply because not wasting the feature’s potential is the right thing to do.
