But Federighi says that two independent teams at Apple, one working from the iPad side and one working from the macOS side to try to make multiple workspaces more obvious and friendly, arrived at a similar concept and met in the middle. This approach to workspace management does appear to be very obviously iPad-centric. I mean, there’s no wrong answer here, there are a lot of valid ways to work on the Mac.” Some people are Command-Tab people, some people like to create a mess, some people clean up their messes and some people use minimization. Some people use spaces, some people are in and out of Mission Control.

“On the Mac, there are so many different ways to work. And years later an internal prototype of an experience that felt like Stage Manager.

First was the single application mode in the early days of Mac OS X beta. The idea of allowing a single window to take focus on the screen has deep roots at Apple, says Federighi. And so Stage Manager is, I think, an important step on that evolutionary arc,” says Federighi. “iPad has a unique proposition, a unique set of expectations around interaction and we wanted to build from that place, not just drag things over from, you know, decades past or another system that was built on a different set of foundational principles. If you didn’t even know Spaces existed, you’d be forgiven, because it’s fairly obscure and does not have many, if any, visual cues to anyone who has never visited the Mission Control screen. It’s essentially a much more visible and persistent version of Spaces - the Mac feature that allows for multiple desktops to hover off to the sides of your screen on macOS. The groups are arrayed to the left, allowing you to quickly tap between these workspaces. The feature presents sets of up to four apps per group in a system-managed tile formation. Stage Manager is the centerpiece of this year’s enhancements to multitasking on iPad. We chatted about the timing, execution and reactions to these announcements.

I had a chance to talk briefly with Apple SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi last week about the new iPadOS features aimed at enhancing multitasking and multi-app work. A handful of features like Stage Manager, Desktop Class Apps and enhancements to Continuity are all aimed at continuing iPadOS 15’s work in this regard.

The preview we got of iPadOS 16 this past week is no exception. Over the past couple of years Apple’s major iPad updates have been focused on dragging the device out of a long gestational period and into a universe that offered more linguistic similarity with the Mac. Long one of the world’s lightest and most powerful medium-format computers, the lag between what kind of work it was capable of and what kind of work it actually welcomed had been growing.
