People are using iPad OS features on their iPhones (idevicecentral.com)

This is kinda wonderful to see - a peek into a world where we get to see the 'other side' of what would have been possible had Apple not locked our devices down beyond belief.

Jailbreak stores have never felt like a particularly strong illustration of what's possible due to their tiny user market - I'd love to see what developers would do if even for a period we could use these devices to anything remotely like their potential.

Apple will probably say that it locked down the features because they could brick the phones

I have an 11" iPad and the screen still feels too small to use windowed apps. It gets very cramped very quickly.

I can't imagine trying to do that on an iPhone. Surely it's useless.

What this does do is reveal the fiction that "iPadOS" and "iOS" are separate. Clearly not.

Looking at the video, I can see why this was locked down. I wouldn't hand my mother that kind of complex UI.

This is not exactly something that any old schlub will be doing.

I don’t find many of these features useful on my iPad (to be fair, my Mini is my daily iPad), let alone, my iPhone. I can’t see myself doing all that work, for features I don’t want to use.

The Medusa stuff is new and yeah, it’s in iOS as it’s the basis for the foldable.

I wonder if i could di the opposite: make an iPad believe it’s an iPhone. I don’t see no reason why i couldn’t use my iPad’s built-in modem to make and receive calls. I mean, i could just bring my ipad and my airpods around and be done.

This would be a great thing to use with an external display when traveling, but of course it will never happen.

Linked site is unusable. Screen is completely covered in ads.

So iOS and iPadOS are the same thing…

I wish there was a way to get rid of this new features on the iPad. Getting a split screen now feels incredibly clumsy compared to before

Can this be used to enable multiple display support on iPhones/non-pro iPads? Would be pretty damn cool if so.

I want macOS on my iPad Pro so I can plug my Moonlander keyboard into it and have a “laptop” that doesn’t destroy my wrists.

I wish the iPad went back to being more iOS-like: something like multiple Safari windows, each with their own collection of tabs, is something I wish I could disable (both for myself, and for some of the seniors I'm tech support for).

I have iDevices because I want simplicity and single-task-ness; I have Macs for multi-tasking.

If Apple needs to satisfy both single- and multi-tasking iDevices users, there should be some kind of mode toggle.

This site, among other things, wants to: "Create profiles for personalised advertising ( 644 partners included )".

644? Isn't that creepy?

Sad but unrelated:

There seems to be something wrong with the Cloudflare server that's supposed to serve me (Bucharest, they say).

I was trying to take a break and read something on HN. Clicked on 4 sort of interesting headlines, 3 got me the Cloudflare error (including this one) and one sort of loaded some navigation bar without CSS and content.

Cloudflare offers a great service... until it breaks half the internet.
