It seemed like they were on a path to make everything iOS including the laptops. Granted it was more of a iOS-ification, but seemed like the general direction. Now I'm curious if this is a shift in direction if they are going to split ipads from ios.

#22I am nervous this means Apple will hold back features from iOS to get people to buy an iPad. For example, they announced the new Files app with iPadOS but there is no reason that shouldn't all be available on an iPhone.
iPhone doesn’t have a screen large enough or a USB connector…how would you use the “new Files app”?
Sandisk has a good product for that: https://www.sandisk.com/home/mobile-device-storage/ixpand
It has both lightning and USB connections.

#23I hope iPads (and iPhones) also get support for the 3rd party gaming controllers like Xbox or Playstation (like they announced for Apple tv)

#24This feels like it could become a repeat of Android Honeycomb, but iOS is a much more mature operating system now than Android was at the time, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
What happened with Honeycomb?
Re: iPadOS
#25the multi-tasking/multi-window looks incredibly complicated, full of hidden gestures/commands that aren't really discoverable
I still don't understand the already-existent gestures on iPad.

#26Will iPadOS include a calculator app?
iPads still don't have a calculator app? I find that baffling.

#27Will iPadOS include a calculator app?
Exactly the question I had!
It is non sense that Apple hasn’t added calculator app to iPad after all these years.
Just avoiding the confusion and disappointment of customers should be enough for them to do it but they haven’t done it after all these years.

#28No information on whether the iPad Pro keyboard is fully compliant in terms of arrow keys, etc. This really gets in the way of things like Cloud 9, hosted VS Code, etc.
