With iPadOS 17, Stage Manager is – finally – moving in the right direction.

Apple listened to feedback, reversed course on two major aspects of the original Stage Manager, and shipped something that feels *much* better to use already. I'm willing to give it another chance.

With iPadOS 17, Stage Manager Is (Finally) Moving in the Right Direction

I’m in Cupertino for WWDC this week, and after yesterday’s whirlwind of announcements and surprises, I had some time to sit down with my 12.9” iPad Pro, install iPadOS 17 beta 1 on it, and try the improved version of Stage Manager. As you know, I have a…complicated history with the iPad’s latest multitasking system.

@viticci My last grip from last year is the window limit. I am fine with the 8 windows limit, but I should be able to use all 8 how I see fit. 8 on the internal screen unless an external screen is attached then 7 max on a screen and 1 reserved for the other seems reasonable.
