Will there be a multi-user mode? Perfect for separating work from home or multiple clients... It would make iPad so much more usable as a single device for both work and fun.
I'm hoping for this. If you have little kids in your house you cannot safely use the iPad Mail client, for example

For years I have been putting off buying another iPad until they have this feature. Guess I'm still waiting.

#233So much for the prevailing rumor that Apple was going to create fewer platforms by merging macOS with iOS.
Oh, I dunno, it wouldn't surprise me if iPadOS is a step in that direction, and some future laptop runs... iPadOS and there is no more MacOS.

Settings->General->Accessibility->Guided access. This is pretty cool. It keeps them within the app I want them to be in. you can even set it up so that when they're watching a movie, you can disable taps so they can't exit the video accidentally.
It took my 3yo niece about a week to learn how to escape guided access. At that point it became more of a hassle then a help. It might be fine for toddlers but for any kids over 2 you need a fully sandboxed profile if you’re not handing them a dedicated tablet.

Your comment contradicts itself. It wasn't always called iOS if it was called iPhone OS "for a very short period of time." And the period of time was not "very short" by my definition at least. According to [0]: > Apple announced iPhone OS 1 at the iPhone keynote on January 9, 2007, and it was released to the public alongside the original iPhone on June 29, 2007. > Apple announced iPhone OS 2 at the iPhone software r…
The iPod touch and iPad were not released when iOS was called iPhone OS.
iPhone OS existed until iPhone OS 3.2.2 when it was renamed to iOS in iOS 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history

#238I 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.
This is because iPadOS is just a marketing name for iOS 13. iPadOS still runs the same Springboard as iOS and is referred as iOS internally.
