Linked: “iOS 9 in review: iPad productivity”

via Six Colors: (they recently went through a re-design! I love the new site)

With iPad sales flagging, Apple has finally brought a bunch of iPad-only features to iOS 9, focusing mostly on accessing multiple apps and making better use of keyboards (of both the off-screen and on-screen variety.)

I read through Jason’s review with careful consideration because I’ve had iOS 9 on my iPad for 2 months and haven’t used any of these features. After reading his review, it’s clear these are just not thing that appeal to me. I use my iPad in the morning to read the news and filter out emails before getting out of bed. I use it on long car-rides to browse Yelp and see where I should grab lunch and before bed, I read (Instapaper, RSS, NY Times and Reddit). I’ve owned all but 1 iPad since 2010 and multi-tasking has no appeal. In fact, it’s faster to get out of bed and wake up my always-on iMac 27” and bust out an email reply than do it on an iPad air 2

This might make a lot more sense on an iPad Pro though.
