THANK YOU!!

Starting to like my decision to buy the 12.9 since every reviewer out there was recommending the 11. The huge screen gives so much real estate while using the stage manager with multiple apps at once. Wouldn’t feel like I would use the feature it to its max potential if I was using a smaller screen

Also … in stage manager, you can have windows stacked horizontally but the iPad has to be in portrait mode. 😉

It might not be perfect and i hope they will improve on things like always but i have to say stage manager makes such a positive improvement i am loving the experience !!!

Dude I can listen to you talk all day haha. So we’ll explained and thought-out comments about this annoyingly complex feature. Plus I agree with you on just about everything. You’ve got my subscription.

I like stage manager, I actually like the windows moving around and the animations, it basically guarantees that you can't hide and loose an app. I can certainly see how it would annoy power users, but so far I love it. I also liked compact tabs in safari on my MAC, I generally like the new features that apple introduces that power users often complain about so oh well I'll just have to enjoy them until apple takes it away, Great video as usual. Thank you.

While I think the automatic windows managing feature is great, I also think Apple should make it as an option in the Stage Manager setting to turn the automatic feature off for people who prefer to manage their windows manually like on the Mac

@@kamilstudios nah I think it’s better to have the opinionated take. Especially since people have been complaining about snapping and window management on macOS for years

The best iPadOS review video on YT Comprehensive and detailed. I feel you have saved me tremendous time exploring myself in this iPadOS 16 The fact that Stage Manager can’t freely move app window at a location one chooses, is driving me nut and causing users to make extra efforts to rearrange app window! Apple is losing my confidence in them

I've had my iPad M1 for only 3 days and I'm discovering the world of the iPad; thank you for this video. Quick question: what is the brand of your iPad screen protector, please? Thanks ;-)

Just phenomenal! I have watched a lot of videos introducing new OS and this was awesome. All the new features of the iPad made watching it and interacting with all the things you were talking about at the same time! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, you are an excellent teacher, consistent use of feature names and comparisons to the desktop and other OS; all were so helpful to highlight what these new features/differences relate to. I sent your video to all my staff who use iPads as their primary devices - we Remote Desktop into our desktop computers from the iPad Pro 12.9 with Magic Keyboard/touchpad and so no longer need laptops.

They’ll stack in a ‘cascade’ but you have to be in Portrait mode … you’re welcome 😁 Yeah, I know, we majority use the Pads in Landscape. I like Stage Manager. There was a similar feature on PowerBooks over 25+ years ago. Yeah, I’m an OG Mac user. Happy to see it on a iPad.

right off the bat, worth coming here. I wasn't going to enable Stage Manager--I use split, etc every day all day--but you're saying I would miss a lot. Back to watching.

Thank you so much for that display scaling tip! At first I wasn’t going to use stage manager much on my 2018 11 inch iPad Pro, but after turning on more space it feels different and way more usable!

I forgot to add, Great video. My favorite feature is the update to Notes & Reminders. The core Apps. Also dictation is worthy of use, a huge step up for those with special needs.

Too late … we’re already using it for ourselves 😊 I’ll watch anyway ‘cause I like your channel. Kewl thing with SM is if you’re watching, say, a KZread video, no matter the windows opened KZread swings around on top minimized. Also in calendar, just press and hold the date & a new event window will pop up.

Great video Chris! Learned so many extra little features here! Thanks 🙏

Thank you! I really like Readdle (the parent company) work. Hopefully I can do more with them in the future.

I really like that close button. I close every app after using it and now I don't have to swipe up anymore. I was really used to not just swiping up, but holding to open the app switcher and close the app. Now I just tap the multitasking button and select close.

The More Space View might be the single greatest update ever. It enhances every other update ten-fold. Thank you Baby Jesus.

I'm in love with the new tools in the notes app right now.

Great review Chris. Concise yet thorough. Enjoy the content!

My friends suggested I buy the M2 12.9. After watching this video, I afraid to go near it. I figure it'll make a nice cheese platter. Your knowledge is astounding.

You know a new software feature is great when you’re automatically drawn to it. The beauty of Apple used to be that they understood this. They’ve been losing this slowly but surely. There is WAY too much thought that has to go into Stage manager. I don’t see myself using it. If I need to use that many different windows, I need to go to my PC/laptop that’s hooked up to three monitors. The split view on the iPad is all I really need.

PDF Expert is the best I've used them since almost day 1.

Can you post a link for that calculator app? It looks really good on the iPad!

External Monitor Support is "Coming later this year" on Apple Website ("New features available with iPadOS 16" page)

I don’t use the setting to hide the recent apps on the side. If you drag a window to a big enough size, it hides on its own. I like to have something there when for example I use an iPhone app in the middle of the screen. Anything’s better than emptiness.

Thanks Chris. An excellent walk through and it helped me very much.🎉❤

As usual super comprehensive video! I never watch anything else in terms of iOS / iPad Os guide. Thanks Chris! Do you plan to do a follow up once Stage Manager is baked in 16.2?

Epic. I always learn something from these walkthroughs. Great video as always Christopher!

The best review on KZread. By far my fav channel.

By definition not everybody is an early adopter so can understand criticism of SM, however for me its an important step forward as an “ipad-first” user. Not sure on the too complex call out. Apple needs to understand how people use it in the real world to make interface decisions. If youre wary of change, keep SM turned off. Personally I love the new features

I’d love to see a breakdown of your iPad widgets. Keep up the great work!

Just starting to use the new features, but liking most of stage manager ... so far. Excited about notes and reminders changes. I would love to see improvements in Files! this is one of the areas that (for me) keeps the ipad from being a "real computer" I do a lot of stuff with files and being able to have tabs would be a big help. Also, compared to Finder on MacOS, it just seems a bit cartoonish and not ready for prime time, still.

best iPad reviewer I've seen so far. great job, huge job!

Chris I have ADHD and I heard you have it to can you please do a detailed walk through of your phone setup and app placement for iPhone and also iPad. Love ❤️ your style and setups.

“Let me decide what works for me” is something that Apple is not known for

As always, great and fun content from Chris

Can you PLEASE make a video about the shortcuts you are using? Also im interested in the calculator app you use since I have not found a good one yet myself.

Bud, you're one of the best ipad software reviewers)

I honestly find just using split screen better

Every iPad should have got this would have been nice on my new mini

Can’t believe apple finally created multi windows (2+) feature … windows pre 95 had that … Thank GOD 🎉🎉🎉

So happy to have come across this channel! Excellent overview. 🎉

This is the best review of iPados 16. But one thing you missed is the overall stability and battery life, I‘ve heard people complain about it. Do you think this update is already ready to be installed or should people wait for a later update?

Excellent presentation.

And now the news apps are open in the same stage. Apple really listened, and I am confident that the stage manager will be amazing after few more updates. I really wish there is more mouse support for the ipad. I mean track pad is ok, but my mouse is much more precise, and reliable. At last, i really want try using ipad with an external monitor with mechanical keyboard and mouse. It will be amazing if it can perform like my laptop. Now, we just need some desktop ported app to ipad, such as a real excel, Microsoft word, PowerPoint, etc. Now, those apps loses so much features that they are basically useless.

Just downloaded iPad os 16 and my head hurts from all the confusing things regarding stage manager. Apple needs to get their grip on this.

Great video as always Chris!! I was very used to multitasking on ipados15, with shortcuts to open simultaneous apps as I needed and the lateral apps… i Think Stage manager is random still, It would be good tho have your 4 apps “inmovible” but when I come back to my group is a mess because of what I have open!! The notes and reminders apps improvements are good!

Always love these videos. Also, if you know, you know. SUPER MAX MAX MAX, SUPER MAX MAX MAX!

Overall i like iPadOS 16 new update, but im so mad about stage manager. I currently have a iPad Air 4th gen with the A14 bonic chip but today i find out after I updated my ipad that i dont get stage manager and it only works with iPad pros that have the A12X, A12Z Bonic, M1 and M2 that’s some bullshit I really like the idea of being able to use your iPad as a PC and connecting it to a external display and using the full screen (even though stage manager on a external display is delayed)🤦🏽‍♂️ they should’ve specified that when they announce this stage manager feature cuz i thought all iPads were getting that when iPadOS 16 comes out so now I gotta sell my iPad Air and buy the new iPad Air with M1 but I’m also thinking I should just go ahead and get the pro m1 or the new pro M2 cuz who knows what else they’re going to start locking down to the pros, especially with Davinci resolve coming out for iPad soon I really think its going to be an iPad Pro only app.

Oh

Hi Christopher! This is a great walkthrough video, well done and thank you!

Thank you for these walkthroughs...the best out there!

Honestly... For me, the stage manager is obsolete because it's very poorly executed. Resizing, grid, and all other features are unnecessarily complicated and not executed well... Its tiring to use because of all resizing and begging windows to stick to the grid you need... The only thing iPad needs in my opinion is the ability to split screen horizontally when used in portrait mode. Great video btw... He always explains everything in such detail!

This was really helpful, I could never pull this all together intelligibly. What a dark time for my favorite Apple product. The software and product line are in deep confusion.

Can’t wait to see you creating new shortcuts for stage manager. Like I’d love to have a automation which disabled center stage when I take the iPad off the Magic Keyboard and activate it automatically when i put the iPad on the keyboard.

Extremely helpful video. One note about Remind Me in Mail -- once you add a Remind Me to an email, the email stays in the inbox and does not disappear unfortunately. So, for people who love an inbox zero every day this is problematic to use :(

I love to see Formula 1 on your calendar!

Amazing walkthrough, AMAZING

Amazing video Chris!

Congratulations with 150k🎉

Downloads iPadOS 16 on 9th gen. iPad, installs, goes to youtube to learn about all the new features and makes it 20 minutes through 40 minute video to realize that none of the new features are available on a 1-year old ipad 🙄

Super high quality videos, thanks, subscrribed, can't wait to see your long term review of iPad Pro M2

Great vid! And for anyone else who couldn’t update yet, mines just hit! So go ahead and check again gang

A very thorough explanation! Superb video!

Stage manager, meh. Where is the external monitor support?

This is awesome

Wow literally the video I needed to know everything about the update..! Thanks for the great work

So solid bro.

20:44 -- A CONTrol centre shortcut to toggle reference mode would be much better, similar to the stage manager control centre toggle. a automation where reference mode auto launches during specific apps such as luma fushion.

I tried using Stage Manager on the beta, and abandoned as too confusing and reverted back to split screen. 90% of the time I prefer to have one window full screen and rarely is two in Split View, plus a third in slide over not enough. I did try Stage Manager again after watching this video, but find it too fiddly- I waste time managing windows, rather than actually working and even on my 12.9” iPad Pro having three or four windows open side by side is rather cramped and I hate having them overlapping - that is something I tried to avoid on the Mac. So for me Stage Manager brings a complication from the Mac and makes it even more complicated- not good

best video on the market! great!

Thanks for the effort put in to this 🙏🏾

Best review of new features. Wonderful detail, resonates with another IT guy :-)

I wished stage manager combined the old split screen as well, so you could still pair 2 apps with a full screen view. There is wasted space with stage manager in certain situations. It just doesn’t feel as intuitive or efficient as it could be. I think its a good step forward.

Pity about the full screen on external monitor. A great video very comprehensive Christopher

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the great video❤

Thanks for this video. It really helped a lot

Eh I prefer the grid system it avoids the mess of windowing on macOS. I actually wishes that macOS windowing system worked the same instead of being so arbitrary and messy.

I get why the right click menu is vertical in tablet mode, that’s cause cause of the screen is filled by the keyboard so right click will lead to a menu that will have to overlap the keyboard, so I prefer the current layout

whats the name of that calculator? and if it costs anything how much?

Congratulations, Apple, with Stage Manager, you made the iPad unexplainable to Grandma and Grandpa. My mother had dementia, and she could use the iPad long after she lost the ability to use the computer. This video is good.

First, thank you for everything. Second, what calculator app are you using? Thanks again.

I use Things as well…Seeing your overview of Reminders I am thinking….is it time to move everything into Reminders??? Feature-vise they seem similar now…Things obviously is much more polished. But then, 2 apps vs. 1. What do you’ll think?

Great video, if I used IOS this would certainly be a great guide 👍

Also you can type to siri and start a timer. Spotlight not required 😅

Great review

Thank you Chris

“Minority Report” (6:37)- Ha! Awesome

So this video is about stage manager, I’ll come back for the rest next year or never.

Great video

thanks for the video - I’ve been hoping that I’m just missing something. I just can’t get stage manager to work for me. But there are some things I need like live camera support while working on something else. I just HATE using stage manager. Not quick, easy, or efficient. Terrible to use in my opinion.

17:30 = Display scaling IS available for 2018 and 2020 ipad pro.

Excellent work. And thank you for tagging sections. What are the new drawing tools?

I’m i mad but multi tasking works just fine the way its always been

stage manager is great, but not on this 12.9 screen. I'm waiting for ipad 15" release, that would be perfect to use stage manager.

I just want to fullscreen one app while having smaller floating apps ontop of it

Hi Chris, great review! Just a quick one, do you still prefer Things3 better than Apple Reminders? Keep on those review videos 🙌
