- The iPad Pro could be improved regarding problems of UI delays and slowness.
- I don’t use Stage Manager in the internal display.
- The best iPad setup is to have Stage Manager disabled in the internal display and use it on an external display.
- Disadvantages of using Stage Manager is that…
- I feel like the Magic Trackpad connected using a USB cable is actually lagging compared to the internal trackpad.
- iPadOS can’t turn off the external display. It’s just switches to a black screen, so in theory the display still consumes the same amount power as in use.
- It should be the perfect blogging machine.
- It doesn’t have MarsEdit, which is one of my most useful apps on the Mac to edit posts on a blog.
- I can start a link post from Reeder or Safari and share it with people.
- There is a native WordPress app on iPadOS, which lets me manage my posts, but I still like MarsEdit more, because it uses HTML directly.
- I can switch to HTML in the WordPress app, but I need to do it manually every time.
- Keyboard shortcuts on the iPad Pro are lagging compared to macOS.
- Using MacOS from the keyboard feels intuitive and fast, because it has years of experience being an OS controlled via keyboard and mouse.
- Some iPad apps are have great keyboard integration, like Safari, Things, Craft and iVim. In other apps (like Mail) the keyboard feels like some form of remote device.
- The iPad Pro’s screen is too small to do heavy work.
- There is a limit of what a mobile device can do on its 11-inch screen.
- The iPad Pro has bigger UI targets than macOS, so it fits smaller amount of content on its display.
- We can set the iPad Pro UI scaling smaller, but then it is too small compared to a standard MacBook screen.
- Setting the iPad Pro UI scaling smaller, we end up with a UI scaling that is similar to iPad mini and iPhone.
