Por que no los dos?

Just dock your iPad in the office and get a desktop class experience. Pick it up and go and have your same apps and sessions and data anywhere.

Would be nice. It's the experience I had with a Surface but I get Windows isn't applicable to all users and workloads.



> Just dock your iPad in the office

The fact that you can't turn off the iPad screen while it's docked drives me crazy.


You can? As long as you have keyboard/mouse (which the Magic Keyboard qualifies as)


Can you teach me how to do that? Every single Google result (and my own experience) say you can't.


I recently got rid of my M1 iPad Pro, so I can't verify (and you might be right).

I recall: using stage manager, plugging into monitor via USB-C, going into Settings to disable mirroring/enable as external display, ensuring you have a mouse/keyboard connected to the iPad, and then just clicking the iPad screen off with the lock/unlock button.

lmk if that works!


The mouse driven experience on iPad OS is awful. And switching between apps leads to apps suspending themselves in the background when I don't want them to. And Safari aggressively suspends browser tabs on iPad so you lose any kind of web page state.


Yeah I need a local mac for builds / debugging :( Thanks for the info, I'll dream of better days ;)


Not really, Xcode Cloud will auto-build from an event hook on a GitHub commit.

You can use this to fix bugs in iOS apps from the park and try new TestFlight builds within minutes.


What I work on is much too large for those to be options :)
