Great video and tutorial. I sympathize with Apple trying to make the iPad a versatile tool for professionals. I recently watched a review by an orchestral musician and teacher who uses the iPad for writing and reading music, navigating with a foot pedal while performing. She dislikes the Center Stage feature when teaching remotely because it constantly refocuses on faces instead of hands, so she has her students turn it off during lessons. For doing regular work I really like the stage manager feature.
Are you maybe thinking of Center Stage, the feature that makes the selfie camera adaptively follow subjects during video chats? Confused how Stage Manager would be changing camera focus.
Thank you! It really pushes me down when I cannot play two audio sources at the same time, and even worse, when you're listening to music, and some web page content triggers any sound it just stops your music. It kills me everytime.
I love Stage Manager. Took some time getting use to, but once I did I never looked back. Use my iPad as my daily carry and I do a fair amount of multitasking and Stage Manager works well. I think people are to quick to disparage Stage Manager without spending enough time to figure it out. 🐬
@@AnonN-sr6uu My 13” M4 2TB nano-textured glass WiFi+cellular can’t handle my LG OLED evo OLED88Z39LA 88” 8K TV. I’m hoping that this will be fixed in an update. 🤞🏻
I also could not agree more. Particularly with the disparagement issue. I’ve read and watched so many hot takes about how stage manager can’t do X or Y, when I do that exact X and Y every day. I can work with Stage Manager every bit as fluidly as I can with windows on Mac. Maybe even more fluidly. I, too, love it.
It has to do with preference. Lots of people disparage iPadOS because it doesn’t do things exactly the same way a Mac does. But it isn’t a Mac, so why should it? Lots of people aren’t willing to alter their workflows to accommodate a completely different type of device. I don’t even use Stage Manager because I never run more than 2 apps at a time and prefer Split View, but I’ve learned Stage Manager and find it works pretty well.
I have my m4 iPad attached to a monitor sitting next to my iMac Pro. Being able to crossover and control both devices with my Mac mouse and keyboard means I can use iOS apps streamlessly on the iPad and work on my Mac at the same time. It’s great for productivity
If you hold the shift key while clicking on the app you want to open it will keep all the other apps open in your stage manager view. I find this less cumbersome than dragging the app.
OMG I never knew that. Thanks for the tip. I agree with you, this is the window behavior that makes sense and it should be the default behavior without having to hold the Shift key.
Very useful video. Again Apple iterates multitsking gradually and it is more convoluted than it needs to be eg a Space paradigm where you first of all use a hierarchy of screens and allocate apps per screen to organize them then move between screens (virtual desktops) and it is easier to get your work flow running. Then it depends on Windows manager, File Manager, Background Tasks Manager also being tweaked to work with this. For some reason Apple seems to approach multi-tasking as a feature that needs decades in beta...
Thanks, I’m here for the LumaFusion example. I have a Mac Mini, but I’ve been video editing on my iPad way before having the Mac. I don’t want to switch to editing on a computer. Now being able to have full display support with LumaFusion that’s a game changer.
❤Stage manager. My workflow has changed. After seeing Apple Vision i feel when using stage manager and an external display feels like spatial computing to me. I have a studio display and its perfect work flow. Haven’t used my MacBook in 2 weeks since iPadOS 18 beta 1. It works even better with 18 so far. Solid beta! 🎉
We need full screen support Only some apps have full screen Now that emulation is released & AAA games Full screen support is going to be demand to enjoy it in our 2k monitor etc We have to force Tim to cook well with it
Agreed. Not being able to use the full screen for stage manager apps is a deal breaker. They make you have that dock on the left. Which is dumb. You already have a dock on the bottom. Why add another?
The strangest designed decision was going with the ellipsis in the upper middle of the window, instead of just copying the macOS design with the upper left hand “traffic lights”. Now, moving from iPhone to iPadOS to MacOS is an exercise in “uhhhh … oh yeah, switch interface thinking mode”.
The better request to Apple is a smaller, more affordable Mac Mini. Perhaps call it Mac Nano. Built like an Apple TV. With just 1 USB-C, 1 HDMI and no USB-A ports. With M2 chips. Whatever to get the price below $299.
After wwdc24 I returned my m4 ipad and bought a Samsung s9 tab. 3 years with ipadOS and it's still not a fit for my use case. Neither is s9 really but it costs less and different quirks from iPad. Also broke my Apple ecosystem, will see how it goes...
I also been using iPad Pro as main laptop since 2018, but in my case, I have a dedicated PC laptop at home to remote into incase I have some tasts that require a desktop OS, so far I like this setup and I do not want to go back to regular laptop, and I am looking forward to iPad Pro 13“ next.
Finally decided to ask this: I teach high school and recently got an 11” pro. The one issue I have that means this could never replace my MacBook is the lack of full wide screen when output to my 100” tv. I get that the aspect ratio on the iPad is different, but there’s no reason Apple couldn’t let me draw an hd area of the screen to share. In fact take away the dock and you’re basically there. I know it sounds minor- but I need my students to be able to see, and I need to mirror so I can use the iPad as intended. Otherwise MacBook is much easier. 😊
You can just zoom in on the tv. Most tv's should have a setting for that. My LG tv has a 4-way zoom option with which i can crop any area of my iPad screen to the full 16:9 of my tv. Not sure if that's what you are asking for
Do you know if Stage Manager (iPadOS 18) on an external screen finally opens the files in a large window? With iPadOS 17, files are systematically opened in a small window, which requires resizing the window each time it is opened. 😮💨 And long live the iPad! 😍
Holy Moly! Talk about rubbing your tummy and patting your head just to navigate multiple windows open at the same time! This may drive me back to my Apple //+ days green font and black desktop days!! ;) I really wish "clam shell mode" was supported with external monitor. Apple needs to keep it it a bit more simple!
The audio sources is the only thing that keep me from buying an Ipad, I love to be in call with friends and sharing a video with them... I tried on Iphone and the sound quality goes way down in this situation.
An iPad simply cannot replace a Mac for productivity no matter how much you try. Apps that work on both iPad and Mac OS are not the same. iPad versions are more basic. Personally unless you’re a content creator then an iPad Pro is a waste because an Air can do almost the same. In my opinion an iPad is best for basic gaming and content consumption. A Mac is the best for productivity.
I actually do not like stage manager, although I have it open on my iPad virtually all the time because it’s the only way to get iPhone apps to open the right way up like my banking apps when the iPad is on the Magic Keyboard. The previous split screen I much prefer for multiple tasking as I want to utilise the full screen, and not have floating windows.
I put the beta on my M1 and for some reason it’s using like 60 GB of storage for system data. I literally only have like two apps installed right now. Highly don’t recommend installing this beta on iPad. On my phone it’s been fine.
🐬 Did the more space for the external monitor work for you in ipadOS 17 or is this a new feature of 18? I’ve tried using it (os 17) with my ultrawide monitor and the text in the windows such as the mail app are far too big. It was my understanding that Apple have not fully supported ultrawide monitors in 17 so I really hope that this is fixed for 18 as it would turn the ipad into a very good desktop alternative if this is sorted.
🐬 I love that they keep adding these multitasking stuff, but as others have mentioned. They are over enginering this… Just make it a mini MacOS when you have mouse and keyboard connected. Or at least make it into mini MacOS when an external monitor is connected. The hardware is there.
I can’t use an external mouse when connecting to an external display, it bugs out completely! Anyone else in the same boat and fixes? Tried restarting, diff cable and mouse etc.
I have a couple of questions: how do you charge your iPad ? the monitor through the Thunderbolt Port charges it? or Do you use it unplugged from the electricity? Does it damage the batery work with the iPad plugged to the electricity? Thanks Fernando!!
@@torvic333it's not good... Because unlike a laptop battery is being used even thou it's plugged in.. so it would be like using it without plug and then plugingit when drained.. but with the extra monitor consumption... If you are planning to use monitor a lot, go for Mac book air..
Do not use Stage Manager on my iPad Pro. I use it on my M1 MacBook Air masOS. Thing is most of the time have it on for content consumption, as I want my focus to be solely on one screen. In this case my external LG Ultra HD 5K Ultra Slim 27MD5KA-B Monitor on a black NB North Bayou VESA Monitor Arm Desk Mount. Turn it off if I am working on a project when I like to have windows in view so it is easy to copy and paste from one window into the document I am working on. 🐬
I was hoping that Stage Manager was going to be fixed for iPadOS 18, sadly that's not the case. I feel like Stage Manager is still unfinished and is overthought.
There can you put at the bottom video of RUclips and top left one application and top right an other one like the Samsung Galaxy z6...can you set a preferred position of some apps?
Thanks, nice video…it is soooo close to being a laptop replacement for me… Some programs/apps just aren’t as fluid on iPad like they are on a desktop setting. Wish apple would unlock the WiFi chip so I can do scans with wifiman… Clam shell would be nice…🐬
There are apps that can scan wifi. A couple of them I use are Fing and WiFi Analyzer. They can scan for every device on your WiFi network. If often use them to figure out devices I don’t recognize on my router’s web interface.
@@techinrl9869 thank you very much for the app suggestions..The WiFi scans don’t give as much info as PC or android due to the WiFi scan being locked/restricted by apple…
This is astonishing how much apple goes out his way to not just give a proper windows manager! Just look how stupid it is to open a new window of an app, in mac you just right-click on an app and click on new window, in here you have to right-click on app, show all windows and then find plus button at top left!
Does stage manager finally support a 5120x1440p resolution? I tried it with an M1 iPad before and I would buy the M4 if it finally supports it but for now everything is way too big and feels like it‘s at 150% zoom, definitely not like how it’s supposed to be
iPad Pro's have an m4 chip with thunderbolt support but can only connect to 1 screen? if all these features were on the iPhone I'd be impressed. But for a laptop replacement this OS is subpar.
All base M-series chips have only two display controllers. One controls the iPad screen and the other the external monitor. This is no different from the M1, M2, or M3. Apple did just implement a feature on the newly introduced MacBook Air M3 that allowed a second monitor if the laptop is closed, a feature which was then extended to the M3 MBP. Again two controllers, two screens. It’s as simple as that. Apple could implement clamshell at some point that would allow a second monitor.
Have you worked with the new feature of files to let you force Files to keep. local copy on the iPad? If ao, can it be used to force save a folder and all its subfolders and file on the iPad?
The Steam Deck is a better PC than the iPad Pro. I own both and the iPad Pro (M2) stage manager is too clunky, You can't even full screen apps that are full screen on the iPad, which wastes the extended monitor space.
Do find the iPad RUclips App to be clunky and less pleasant than the desktop website? I have no issues using the iPad as a computer replacement. I find myself wanting to get rid of “web action” apps and instead use Safari, like you would on a desktop/laptop.
For me it’s the opposite: I prefer the iPad app. HOWEVER, it is terrible with memory management and the queue is supper buggy, so I’m often losing my queue
I hate RUclips’s web interface and mostly love the RUclips app on iPadOS. Interface-wise, the app is far superior, but I suppose it’s always a personal preference.
@@techinrl9869 My primary issues with the app is that when I have my big iPad docked to the keyboard and trackpad, the interface does not respond properly to trackpad input. And I don’t like that it displays my subscription feed in column view as opposed to lateral grid view the way that the desktop website does. I also find that watching RUclips on the website through Safari consumes far less battery power than the app does.
Stage manager outright sucks. It is still buggy when I open Illustrator and Chrome with few tabs. I know Illustrator is a heavy app, but the same with 8GB ram on M1 Mac doesn't feel sluggish. Apple is more confused than the present stage manager, regarding what to do with the iPad. Oh, lets give M4 and people will forget everything. So, now we have a nuclear reactor (M4), outputting a maximum of 20w to charge any apple device (iPad OS).
In terms of scaling, I found I couldn’t get the iPad to scale on my 49” 4k ultra wide monitor. Have you tested this? I’m on iPadOS 17 still, is this something that only works or was fixed in iPadOS 18?? This would be HUGE for me if so.
@@AndrewVisor for me it’s all stretched and doesn’t scale correctly at all! What settings and gear are you using to at least get it to display at a normal ratio??
@@davidaballo6339 I only have an iPad Air 4 right now (thats why I want to upgrade) but I used my wife’s iPad Air 5 briefly and it at least filled the screen (G9, 5120x1440p) without black bars or smth like that. As I mentioned everything still looks like it‘s zoomed to 150% or so so not really usable.
@@davidaballo6339 just a standard USB-C to DP cable, I read that HMDI causes issues with ultrawides, so if you use that you should probably try DP instead
As the vice president of software himself stated in the WWDC 2024 software talks, the iPad will be a device for watching movies, drawing and playing games. Full stop.
@@arielspalter7425 because they're desperately trying to keep people from just not getting a MacBook because the iPad could do everything the MacBook can. Keeping it *just* inconvenient enough to not make it worth it allows them to keep people that are already locked in the ecosystem upgrading their MacBook as well. It's a huge software limitation, similar to how Google is limiting certain camera settings on the standard Pixel 8 vs. what's available on the 8 Pro. Same hardware, software limited. iPad could do SO much more if Apple wasn't as greedy.
@@arielspalter7425 Most operating systems do window management and interact with apps in the kernel. One goal of Apple’s i operating systems Is to avoid the kernel And try to do everything in user space, which is safer but more challenging. As well, app, resources from storage to memory are sandboxed, which also affects the functioning of features like Stage Manager and the Files app. I can’t claim that this is the best possible for anyone to do, but is not just a bunch of crazy stuff for no reason.
Exactly. Stage Manager is the dimetric opposite of intuitive. Even though I HATE when people say it, I can’t help but think that Steve is rolling over in his grave screaming “Nooooooooooo…” 🐬

I recently started using Stage Manager and while it is not perfect. I do like it.
The strangest designed decision was going with the ellipsis in the upper middle of the window, instead of just copying the macOS design with the upper left hand “traffic lights”. Now, moving from iPhone to iPadOS to MacOS is an exercise in “uhhhh … oh yeah, switch interface thinking mode”.
Stage Manager is the enhanced flexibility when it comes to moving and resizing windows. I’m optimistic about the direction Apple is heading.

I have no issues using the iPad as a computer replacement. I find myself wanting to get rid of “web action” apps and instead use Safari, like you would on a desktop/laptop.
For me it’s the opposite: I prefer the iPad app. HOWEVER, it is terrible with memory management and the queue is supper buggy, so I’m often losing my queue
@@RuralSquirrelJuror The app is hit or miss when it comes to trackpad recognition, and it is a terrible power hog.
I hate RUclips’s web interface and mostly love the RUclips app on iPadOS. Interface-wise, the app is far superior, but I suppose it’s always a personal preference.
@@techinrl9869 My primary issues with the app is that when I have my big iPad docked to the keyboard and trackpad, the interface does not respond properly to trackpad input. And I don’t like that it displays my subscription feed in column view as opposed to lateral grid view the way that the desktop website does. I also find that watching RUclips on the website through Safari consumes far less battery power than the app does.

Have a question re: safari in stage manager mode why can’t you swipe right to go back a page???
It interferes with the gesture to show the recent apps strip. You can turn off the strip in the control center or Multitasking settings.
@@techwithtyler20 thank you
Stage manager outright sucks. It is still buggy when I open Illustrator and Chrome with few tabs. I know Illustrator is a heavy app, but the same with 8GB ram on M1 Mac doesn't feel sluggish. Apple is more confused than the present stage manager, regarding what to do with the iPad. Oh, lets give M4 and people will forget everything. So, now we have a nuclear reactor (M4), outputting a maximum of 20w to charge any apple device (iPad OS).
Stage Manager, the name and use are so clunky. Huge missed opportunity in iPadOS 18 to fix it.

It works with ultrawide?
yes
very informative video

Nothing changed. A 2k€ device with a Mattel device windows manager.
In terms of scaling, I found I couldn’t get the iPad to scale on my 49” 4k ultra wide monitor. Have you tested this? I’m on iPadOS 17 still, is this something that only works or was fixed in iPadOS 18?? This would be HUGE for me if so.
I’m in the same situation, on my 5120x1440 Odyssey G9 scaling is definitely broken, everything looks like it’s at 150% zoom
@@AndrewVisor for me it’s all stretched and doesn’t scale correctly at all! What settings and gear are you using to at least get it to display at a normal ratio??
@@davidaballo6339 I only have an iPad Air 4 right now (thats why I want to upgrade) but I used my wife’s iPad Air 5 briefly and it at least filled the screen (G9, 5120x1440p) without black bars or smth like that. As I mentioned everything still looks like it‘s zoomed to 150% or so so not really usable.
@@AndrewVisor Gotcha. What kind of cable did you use to connect?
@@davidaballo6339 just a standard USB-C to DP cable, I read that HMDI causes issues with ultrawides, so if you use that you should probably try DP instead
I really wish you could have an actual mouse instead of a damned circle.

Dude, you're starting to look like Mario. Try a beret instead of a ball cap.
Is that a magsafe type of adapter I see on the left of the hinge? 👀

No, it is not.
As the vice president of software himself stated in the WWDC 2024 software talks, the iPad will be a device for watching movies, drawing and playing games. Full stop.

This just has to be the most convoluted way to do an OS interface.
Exactly what I thought. It’s over-engineered design to accomplish a very simple task, that is done effortlessly in any other operating system.
So true
@@arielspalter7425 because they're desperately trying to keep people from just not getting a MacBook because the iPad could do everything the MacBook can. Keeping it *just* inconvenient enough to not make it worth it allows them to keep people that are already locked in the ecosystem upgrading their MacBook as well. It's a huge software limitation, similar to how Google is limiting certain camera settings on the standard Pixel 8 vs. what's available on the 8 Pro. Same hardware, software limited. iPad could do SO much more if Apple wasn't as greedy.
@@arielspalter7425 Most operating systems do window management and interact with apps in the kernel.
One goal of Apple’s i operating systems Is to avoid the kernel And try to do everything in user space, which is safer but more challenging. As well, app, resources from storage to memory are sandboxed, which also affects the functioning of features like Stage Manager and the Files app.
I can’t claim that this is the best possible for anyone to do, but is not just a bunch of crazy stuff for no reason.
Exactly. Stage Manager is the dimetric opposite of intuitive. Even though I HATE when people say it, I can’t help but think that Steve is rolling over in his grave screaming “Nooooooooooo…” 🐬

Clamshell mode would be nice, also the option to unlock the iPad with the Touch ID from the Apple Magic Keyboard.

😂😂😂 funny!!
