Best channel to come for iPad coverage. Great job Chris.

[@ChrisLawley]

THANK YOU!!

[@Caseyp789]

Great review Chris. Concise yet thorough. Enjoy the content!

[@waltonks8172]

I'm in love with the new tools in the notes app right now.

[@delaneyboyce3533]

So happy to have come across this channel! Excellent overview. 🎉

[@editorskeys]

Great video Chris! Learned so many extra little features here! Thanks 🙏

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you!! 😁👍

[@batsai]

Epic. I always learn something from these walkthroughs. Great video as always Christopher!

[@OkkyOctavianusDaud]

A very thorough explanation! Superb video!

[@ladyhollman9534]

I forgot to add, Great video. My favorite feature is the update to Notes & Reminders. The core Apps. Also dictation is worthy of use, a huge step up for those with special needs.

[@ToriFn]

Just phenomenal! I have watched a lot of videos introducing new OS and this was awesome. All the new features of the iPad made watching it and interacting with all the things you were talking about at the same time! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, you are an excellent teacher, consistent use of feature names and comparisons to the desktop and other OS; all were so helpful to highlight what these new features/differences relate to. I sent your video to all my staff who use iPads as their primary devices - we Remote Desktop into our desktop computers from the iPad Pro 12.9 with Magic Keyboard/touchpad and so no longer need laptops.

[@Piotorro]

As usual super comprehensive video! I never watch anything else in terms of iOS / iPad Os guide. Thanks Chris! Do you plan to do a follow up once Stage Manager is baked in 16.2?

[@asruz87A]

best iPad reviewer I've seen so far. great job, huge job!

[@TreyAllDay901]

The best review on KZbin. By far my fav channel.

[@gezbo66]

Thanks Chris. An excellent walk through and it helped me very much.🎉❤

[@ChristopheJezouin]

Wow literally the video I needed to know everything about the update..! Thanks for the great work

[@JeffPom]

Excellent work. And thank you for tagging sections. What are the new drawing tools?

[@scott1414]

Can you post a link for that calculator app? It looks really good on the iPad!

[@satxrnhimself]

As always, great and fun content from Chris

[@joshprather6204]

Thank you for these walkthroughs...the best out there!

[@cgpov]

I’d love to see a breakdown of your iPad widgets. Keep up the great work!

[@MG6]

It might not be perfect and i hope they will improve on things like always but i have to say stage manager makes such a positive improvement i am loving the experience !!!

[@amineboudjani4270]

Can’t wait to see you creating new shortcuts for stage manager. Like I’d love to have a automation which disabled center stage when I take the iPad off the Magic Keyboard and activate it automatically when i put the iPad on the keyboard.

[@refinery.studio]

Dude I can listen to you talk all day haha. So we’ll explained and thought-out comments about this annoyingly complex feature. Plus I agree with you on just about everything. You’ve got my subscription.

[@emmanuelboadi3176]

Thanks for the effort put in to this 🙏🏾

Amazing walkthrough, AMAZING

[@jkfun5032]

Amazing video Chris!

[@picnicphoto]

right off the bat, worth coming here. I wasn't going to enable Stage Manager--I use split, etc every day all day--but you're saying I would miss a lot. Back to watching.

[@MsMark1997]

Hi Christopher! This is a great walkthrough video, well done and thank you!

[@cphillips2667]

Hi Chris - thank-you for the comprehensive review of the new features, I am looking forward to Stages, not as much now after your review, seems like there are some improvements needed but I will be checking it out. I’m also looking forward to Display Scaling. For many years I only had an iPad mini and when it got my iPad Pro last year I expected to be able to fit more on the screen (yes, i was naive to think i could do that) so that will be the first thing I turn on. I was hoping you could help me out with a ShortCut question. I have been trying to set up a simple short cut to shuffle a play list, and then stop playing in 30 minutes. I need to be able to active this shortcut any any time. I have been unable to figure out how to add a sleep timer to the short cut. Any suggestions? Appreciate all the work you do, thanks.

[@crafter89]

I really like that close button. I close every app after using it and now I don't have to swipe up anymore. I was really used to not just swiping up, but holding to open the app switcher and close the app. Now I just tap the multitasking button and select close.

[@msmahj]

Thanks for the great video❤

[@etiennebouabdo3375]

Nice video as usual. When will you be dropping some new shortcuts for iOS16 and iPadOS16?

[@christosioannidis5774]

Excellent presentation.

[@Akella1986]

Congratulations with 150k🎉

[@hksduhksdu]

Super high quality videos, thanks, subscrribed, can't wait to see your long term review of iPad Pro M2

Always love these videos. Also, if you know, you know. SUPER MAX MAX MAX, SUPER MAX MAX MAX!

Best review of new features. Wonderful detail, resonates with another IT guy :-)

[@manasvishwaroop]

Thanks for this video. It really helped a lot

[@kwikart]

Great video! Gonna be playing around with stage manager all week haha

[@themomorain]

Can you PLEASE make a video about the shortcuts you are using? Also im interested in the calculator app you use since I have not found a good one yet myself.

[@NeuroBoy314]

Great video as always Chris!! I was very used to multitasking on ipados15, with shortcuts to open simultaneous apps as I needed and the lateral apps… i Think Stage manager is random still, It would be good tho have your 4 apps “inmovible” but when I come back to my group is a mess because of what I have open!! The notes and reminders apps improvements are good!

[@bradfield_jr]

Thank you so much for that display scaling tip! At first I wasn’t going to use stage manager much on my 2018 11 inch iPad Pro, but after turning on more space it feels different and way more usable!

[@nigeg8684]

Hi ,I can’t find it in my iPad,same mode as you ,any hep would be appreciated,thanks in advance

[@bradfield_jr]

@@nigeg8684 settings > display & brightness > (display zoom) view > select more space

Chris, great video! Can you please share the screen protector that you have here?

[@ksremail]

This is awesome

[@broti]

best video on the market! great!

[@FRANKWHITE1996]

Thanks for sharing

[@CMIVXX]

Hey man, great video. Found quite a few features that I didn’t know about, so thanks! What’s the app you are using from 31s to 35s?

[@JonPickles]

Pity about the full screen on external monitor. A great video very comprehensive Christopher

[@EverettRoeth]

So solid bro.

[@rDnhey]

Great video

[@My-video123]

Bud, you're one of the best ipad software reviewers)

[@romanle6821]

This is the best review of iPados 16. But one thing you missed is the overall stability and battery life, I‘ve heard people complain about it. Do you think this update is already ready to be installed or should people wait for a later update?

[@sjaw100]

Can you do a video on the new features in iBook? Thanks.

[@murtadha96]

Thank you Chris

[@gaelanubis]

I've had my iPad M1 for only 3 days and I'm discovering the world of the iPad; thank you for this video. Quick question: what is the brand of your iPad screen protector, please? Thanks ;-)

[@sincostine]

Starting to like my decision to buy the 12.9 since every reviewer out there was recommending the 11. The huge screen gives so much real estate while using the stage manager with multiple apps at once. Wouldn’t feel like I would use the feature it to its max potential if I was using a smaller screen

[@ruisearts]

First, thank you for everything. Second, what calculator app are you using? Thanks again.

[@amadorodriguez8156]

Hi Chris, great review! Just a quick one, do you still prefer Things3 better than Apple Reminders? Keep on those review videos 🙌

[@jean-charlesdelaloy2932]

Thks for the review ! By the way, what's the name of the calculator app ? 😁

[@UJB123]

Also … in stage manager, you can have windows stacked horizontally but the iPad has to be in portrait mode. 😉

[@MichaelSnipes]

PDF Expert is the best I've used them since almost day 1.

[@sharingmatters]

Expert PDF - this is how you pick sponsors to bring value to the viewers. Thanks for promoting a good app.

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you! I really like Readdle (the parent company) work. Hopefully I can do more with them in the future.

[@holiscan]

Just starting to use the new features, but liking most of stage manager ... so far. Excited about notes and reminders changes. I would love to see improvements in Files! this is one of the areas that (for me) keeps the ipad from being a "real computer" I do a lot of stuff with files and being able to have tabs would be a big help. Also, compared to Finder on MacOS, it just seems a bit cartoonish and not ready for prime time, still.

[@chidorirasenganz]

Ehh they’ve had all the same features for years

[@gesa5187]

As always a very informative video and great job. Thanks! A personal note: I find that Stage Manager runs better on my old iPad Pro 2018 than on the M1 iPad. How can that be? More bugs on the M1 than on the old iPad. Maybe I should sell the new one again.

[@divytolia704]

Hi what apps you are using on the iPad? If possible could you link the app next to Airtable i am very curious

[@elmuneco08]

“Let me decide what works for me” is something that Apple is not known for

[@Frankiee_Cruz]

Random question but what screen protector are you currently using on this iPad? I like it

[@Chef_Nobody]

I love to see Formula 1 on your calendar!

[@jmbosquesillo7203]

They’ll stack in a ‘cascade’ but you have to be in Portrait mode … you’re welcome 😁 Yeah, I know, we majority use the Pads in Landscape. I like Stage Manager. There was a similar feature on PowerBooks over 25+ years ago. Yeah, I’m an OG Mac user. Happy to see it on a iPad.

[@dm6155]

Every iPad should have got this would have been nice on my new mini

[@sudipash6141]

Man still haven't received it yet I'm so excited for stage manager and monitor support for my m1 ipad pro

[@ChrisLawley]

check back in about 15-20 minutes

[@lander4890]

does slide over still stretch the app when the ipad is in portrait orientation?

[@YTStyla]

What is the app that you use to show your weekly to-dos as a widget?

[@MrVio131]

Great review. I have an M1 iPad Pro 12.9 and did the iPad OS 16.1 update, but the weather app looks nothing like in your video. It looks more like a blown up iPhone weather app. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

[@UJB123]

Too late … we’re already using it for ourselves 😊 I’ll watch anyway ‘cause I like your channel. Kewl thing with SM is if you’re watching, say, a KZbin video, no matter the windows opened KZbin swings around on top minimized. Also in calendar, just press and hold the date & a new event window will pop up.

[@hugochan2821]

Which ipad calculator app did you use, any good recommendation?

I don’t use the setting to hide the recent apps on the side. If you drag a window to a big enough size, it hides on its own. I like to have something there when for example I use an iPhone app in the middle of the screen. Anything’s better than emptiness.

[@guthrien]

This was really helpful, I could never pull this all together intelligibly. What a dark time for my favorite Apple product. The software and product line are in deep confusion.

[@mm1285]

Your iPad videos are amazing. Question, I cannot figure out how to open up two documents from the same program at the same time much like you can do on a MacBook. For example, I cannot open up 2 separate files from the Apple Numbers program or the Google Numbers program. This can be done easily on a MacBook or desktop, but it appears it cannot be done at all on an iPad. Any suggestion? I’m trying to use my new iPad Pro is a every day computer. Please help.

[@pozeromon]

Is the external monitor feature enable again? I haven’t been able to mirror my screen through HDMI since beta, so I want to know if it’s my dongle, or if they just launched iPadOS 16 without this feature

[@mehdiflayelle]

Thanks for your great reviews. Quick question that even apple genius couldn’t answered: once you use the apple pencil and want to type, the small keyboard appears (like in an iphone), how can we switch to the big ipad keyboard. Couldn’t find any button. Am obligated to switch to an other app like safari pretend I want to write something, they big ipad keyboard appears, i switch back to the previous app, and big keyboard is there again… Probably has a quicker way to do. What do you think?

[@AnysNadhilah]

Has it already come out?

[@luketestaferratamoronivian9159]

What is the app in the background when you are previewing the resolution scaling?

[@marccretten]

so all in all, is it worth moving to IOS16? Seems to have some nice features. Hows the general operation of the ipad? Battery life etc

[@MrTechnoandy]

I like stage manager, I actually like the windows moving around and the animations, it basically guarantees that you can't hide and loose an app. I can certainly see how it would annoy power users, but so far I love it. I also liked compact tabs in safari on my MAC, I generally like the new features that apple introduces that power users often complain about so oh well I'll just have to enjoy them until apple takes it away, Great video as usual. Thank you.

[@kamilstudios]

While I think the automatic windows managing feature is great, I also think Apple should make it as an option in the Stage Manager setting to turn the automatic feature off for people who prefer to manage their windows manually like on the Mac

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@kamilstudios nah I think it’s better to have the opinionated take. Especially since people have been complaining about snapping and window management on macOS for years

[@linusziegler9424]

Hi really nice video. What’s the name of the calculator app you use?

[@dmanall]

PCalc in the App Store.

[@Ky7oren]

Will external display support come for ipad pro 2020?

[@maikaimakena9424]

Chris I have ADHD and I heard you have it to can you please do a detailed walk through of your phone setup and app placement for iPhone and also iPad. Love ❤️ your style and setups.

[@robisthe4th3]

Question: were there any changes to variable refresh rate?

[@christinecrane4059]

Does the recent release of stage manager support an extended display?

[@RoyTheKing241]

I wished stage manager combined the old split screen as well, so you could still pair 2 apps with a full screen view. There is wasted space with stage manager in certain situations. It just doesn’t feel as intuitive or efficient as it could be. I think its a good step forward.

[@blackblizzard769]

20:44 -- A CONTrol centre shortcut to toggle reference mode would be much better, similar to the stage manager control centre toggle. a automation where reference mode auto launches during specific apps such as luma fushion.

[@GearJason]

Did the new updates make you replace Things3 or Craft Docs?

[@Jigg479]

Hello. What's the name of the calculator App you use on your iPad?

[@Group51]

How do you swipe with a mouse. Or is a trackpad needed?

[@ValiRossi]

My friends suggested I buy the M2 12.9. After watching this video, I afraid to go near it. I figure it'll make a nice cheese platter. Your knowledge is astounding.

[@Mr2pint]

Great video, if I used IOS this would certainly be a great guide 👍

[@ChristopheJezouin]

External Monitor Support is "Coming later this year" on Apple Website ("New features available with iPadOS 16" page)

[@joshtomato]

Which calculator app do you use?

[@hugochan2821]

And now the news apps are open in the same stage. Apple really listened, and I am confident that the stage manager will be amazing after few more updates. I really wish there is more mouse support for the ipad. I mean track pad is ok, but my mouse is much more precise, and reliable. At last, i really want try using ipad with an external monitor with mechanical keyboard and mouse. It will be amazing if it can perform like my laptop. Now, we just need some desktop ported app to ipad, such as a real excel, Microsoft word, PowerPoint, etc. Now, those apps loses so much features that they are basically useless.
