Based on my testing, Stage Manager doesn’t need turned on to use the external monitor. The external monitor will show as though Stage Manager is turned on, but the iPad will remain with it off. Additionally, if you don’t like the bottom dock and left side icons with Stage Manager on, they can be turned off by long pressing/right clicking the Stage Manager icon in Control Center.

Not including A12X/Z iPad pros is just beyond comprehension, as if those were not “Apple silicon” like M1. But then I also think squeezing a fixed dock and a fixed window stacks on the left, so that it can do overlapping windows on the 11 inch pro is pretty useless due to its size, particularly if on a Magic Keyboard where it’s more distanced on the desk than holding it in one’s hand, in which a triple app Split View should be the better solution cause it takes up every inch of the screen.

It really annoys me that my iPad Air 4 with an A14 chip, which is more powerful than the A12Z they put inside the Mac Mini Developer Kit, which runs a desktop OS with resizable windows and everything, will not support Stage Manager.

well; after several tests I can confirm that you absolutely need a keyboard and mouse to activate the connection to the external display. Currently not all external monitors are recognized by the OSIipad 16 therefore the resolution of the external screen (zoom) cannot be changed. The consequence is that the desk image will be enlarged and you will not see the dock and the windows will be partially visible. This happens with external monitors that have a resolution lower than 4k apart from sporadic cases. If you connect iPad to a compatible monitor (or a 4k te) and then disconnect and reconnect immediately to an incompatible full HD monitor this could work, for me it did.

Why i cant use drag and drog in external monitor or from external monitor to ipad?

Very excited for this and the lock screen features.

I’m trying to use this setup right now, and the biggest problem is scrolling on a browser. The iPad’s screen interacts with its apps, not the apps on the bigger display, so you have to use the mouse to scroll. It’s a huge pain to hover the mouse to try and get the scroll bars in Safari to appear, and then click and drag.

What hz? Does it support 120hz external? I doubt it but curious anyway

Can it use when the screen is locked? If yes, how can iPad unlock when built-in screen is closed with the iPad case cover? If the iPad can work when the iPad case cover is closing and I place the iPad on the iPad stand, then connect with USB type C Hub, but my keyboard and mouse already connect with bluetooth connection, iPad can be the desktop-like computer and I don't need the MacBook ever.

The extended monitor feature only work with M1 and M2, otherwise you can only mirror to external monitor.

comparing this to dex on my tab s7 i can just say apple is crazy... i mean it took them some time, but this amazing!! no weird bugs or glitches like on dex, animations are superb and the whole interface is just plain better then anything samsung has to offer... i never used a moto but from what i have seen stage manager is better too then motos desktop view

Great video. I finally know what stage manager is now. lol However, I really don’t understand the use case here. Why drag a photo from your iPad when that photo is presumably readily available in your desktop/laptop Mac? The ecosystem for apple seems to be its own worst enemy in an application like this, imo. That said, it’s beautiful and appears to work fluid and flawlessly. Maybe it’s just a matter of creating additional workspace? Cheers.

I’ve tried three other docks, all of them do the job with other iPads, usual rotation of cables, and other monitors (which was what Apple first claimed was the problem, then relented when it worked with other devices). I’m sure I’m just holding it wrong…
