I did not hear "wait for iOS 13"; searching Google I see a lot of talk about features that do not seem very interesting. What would it be that we are waiting for? Only thing most (here and elsewhere) are looking for is better multitasking (rather; side by side 'anything', so the same app with different or the same docs open or different apps with different docs and then copy/paste + drag & Drop between them) and more freedom for devs to make better software. I do not read those features in the expected new features for iOS 13 but maybe I am reading the wrong posts?
- jbigelow76 8y agoThe complaints I've heard: - Lack of mass storage support through USB-C and the Files app (this seems like a comically boneheaded omission that Apple is going to dig their heels in until iOS 13 a year from now). - No XCode - No Final Cut Pro - No Logic Pro - No pointing device especially when used with an external monitor (I don't think anyone should their breath on this one though). Granted, the audience for XCode is small, the audience for Logic Pro is small, people wanting a pointing device is small, etc... but taken in aggregate you end up with a large group that still can't call this iPad a "computer" the same way they can their laptop/desktop.
- tluyben2 8y agoBut are any of these fixed with iOS 13 besides the storage? XCode would be really good to have. Pointing device I do not share the pain of, but like you said, it's a small audience for any of those. I think XCode might be bigger as that can touch the 'first programming experience' and educational space here. An actual mature environment that doesn't require all the setup and misery of desktop development.
