You don't need to sacrifice composability just because of the tablet form factor. You need to be careful with the input methods, sure, but composability on a tablet could actually be better than on a PC if designed well, but we'll never know until someone bothers to try.
- criddell 7y agoI'm in the camp that thinks Apple made a mistake adding multitasking to the iPad. I don't want my iPad to be more PC-like. The changes were significant and iOS is less stable now than it used to be. Even if they get all the bugs ironed out, I'm still a little sad that they clearly want to take the device in that direction. For similar reasons I thought Microsoft made a big mistake dumping the Windows 7 UI for Metro (or whatever it's actually called). If I want to do PC-type stuff, I'll do it on my PC. Tablet stuff I'll do on a tablet.
- graeme 7y agoIpad multitasking existed in ios 12 too. And ios 13 is less stable on iphone too, which had no multitasking. I think you’re conflating multitasking and stability.
- caconym_ 7y agoI don't really like the multitasking implementation, and I definitely don't need it. Multitasking was never one of the things standing in the way of my iPad being a PC replacement for me.
