- This is kinda wonderful to see - a peek into a world where we get to see the 'other side' of what would have been possible had Apple not locked our devices down beyond belief.
Jailbreak stores have never felt like a particularly strong illustration of what's possible due to their tiny user market - I'd love to see what developers would do if even for a period we could use these devices to anything remotely like their potential.

- I wish the iPad went back to being more iOS-like: something like multiple Safari windows, each with their own collection of tabs, is something I wish I could disable (both for myself, and for some of the seniors I'm tech support for).
I have iDevices because I want simplicity and single-task-ness; I have Macs for multi-tasking.
If Apple needs to satisfy both single- and multi-tasking iDevices users, there should be some kind of mode toggle.

- I have an 11" iPad and the screen still feels too small to use windowed apps. It gets very cramped very quickly.
I can't imagine trying to do that on an iPhone. Surely it's useless.
What this does do is reveal the fiction that "iPadOS" and "iOS" are separate. Clearly not.
- Sad but unrelated:
There seems to be something wrong with the Cloudflare server that's supposed to serve me (Bucharest, they say).
I was trying to take a break and read something on HN. Clicked on 4 sort of interesting headlines, 3 got me the Cloudflare error (including this one) and one sort of loaded some navigation bar without CSS and content.
Cloudflare offers a great service... until it breaks half the internet.
- Linked site is unusable. Screen is completely covered in ads.
- I wonder if i could di the opposite: make an iPad believe it’s an iPhone. I don’t see no reason why i couldn’t use my iPad’s built-in modem to make and receive calls. I mean, i could just bring my ipad and my airpods around and be done.
- Can this be used to enable multiple display support on iPhones/non-pro iPads? Would be pretty damn cool if so.
- This would be a great thing to use with an external display when traveling, but of course it will never happen.
- So iOS and iPadOS are the same thing…

- Apple will probably say that it locked down the features because they could brick the phones

- I want macOS on my iPad Pro so I can plug my Moonlander keyboard into it and have a “laptop” that doesn’t destroy my wrists.

- This is not exactly something that any old schlub will be doing.
I don’t find many of these features useful on my iPad (to be fair, my Mini is my daily iPad), let alone, my iPhone. I can’t see myself doing all that work, for features I don’t want to use.
- The Medusa stuff is new and yeah, it’s in iOS as it’s the basis for the foldable.

- I wish there was a way to get rid of this new features on the iPad. Getting a split screen now feels incredibly clumsy compared to before
- This site, among other things, wants to: "Create profiles for personalised advertising ( 644 partners included )".
644? Isn't that creepy?
- Looking at the video, I can see why this was locked down. I wouldn't hand my mother that kind of complex UI.
