I tried to make my iPad almost Mac with iPados 26 Beta

I can see light on the horizon. In the near future, I only carry the iPad, which is a full daily computer. MacBook becomes a distant memory.

Apple did not make My final imagination is true However, but with iPados 26 approaches ever. The latest operating system For iPad devicesIt is expected that this fall is officially, now available to try In a general experimental version. It adds the Mac-Mac-similar Mac-Mac features, including new multitasking, flexible windows, small windows buttons that can enter things in composition, menu tapes, and even applying inspection. The small mouse symbol you get in the keyboard mode and sorgad is also similar to Mac also. It is a lot to enjoy and try.

I generally liked all the changes made by Apple on the iPados 26, and while I usually recommend people who cross the general Betas and get the final version in the fall, the changes this time may be worth trying now if you are absolutely interested in organizing your Mac-Some.

I use the iPad as a substitute for Mac to write and even present this article now and it has a rise and a decline.

List tapes (type of) repeat lists on Mac

Applications now contain the drop -down menus in iPados 26 can show a full set of procedures that were previously hidden, or have been deported to symbols, gestures and keyboard shortcuts. Apple-Points Menuds ARMS for iPad applications with all keyboard shortcut procedures in this application, as well as a general set of procedures that are consistent through applications.

I love change. Hide the menu bars until you scroll over them using the mouse index with the keyboard/tracking plate, or pulling them with your finger. They do not object on the way. It is easier for me the list of additional interrelated functions of guessing in any magic trick from the user interface that I was supposed to know in this application and forget it.

To write-such a story-it makes the use of iPad feel more laptop. However, as I expect in a pilot program, some applications do not work perfectly with menu bars so far. Google documents are currently working strangely, for example. Also, on iPad, Google is trying to force you absolutely in the independent Docs app rather than writing in the browser. This is the taste of strangeness that is still lying in the iPados 26, and we hope it will be fixed when the fall launch.

Windows are much more flexible

Thanks to new groups of colorful points in the left top of each window, which reflect what is already present on Mac devices, you can reduce/increase/change the size of Windows iPad more. Tile options appear in the same way that you work on Mac devices and any window can be pulled around and change their size. Freedom of the window size also looks more flexible. Before, the user interface will try to rebound again to some size options. There is still a minimum of what you can reduce the offer and length of applications, but they look better.

You can also continue to accumulate and apply windows as much as you want within your iPad borders. Apple was somewhat mysterious on this aspect, but it could weaken the most powerful iPads simultaneously apps more applications. on M1 11 inches IPAD airAt the same time I had 11 open apps and go without stopping me. I saw no signs on the border. Yes, my little screen started feeling like a chaos with impossible layers and I had no way to see everything simultaneously unless three fingers were passed to see icons for all my open applications, but they were still multi -tasks.

The design and design of some applications remains incomplete for all this new scaling of the screen. I find that some applications still have a lot of empty space or large icons suitable for the mobile phone, and I hope that you will shrink to more layouts similar to the laptop to suit the new possibilities. Google documents app is a major example.

SAFAri is still not the same as Mac browser

I still find that working on the browser on the iPad to be a strange experience. IPad devices are more than applications, just like iPhone. Also, web pages will not always be loaded or working on iPad as on Mac. Sometimes they do, sometimes they do so. CMS works, where I produce these and other articles, mostly in iPados Safari, but not on Google’s iPados. Some of the browser tools are not loaded or operated on the same thing. It is still a little about beating and missing, and although it has become better, I feel more comfortable with Mac browsers that work at full capacity.

Other applications may also differ

This is the biggest constant challenge with living your life on the iPad against Mac: different application libraries. Apple improves the sense of cross flow between both, and the file browser is now displaying iPad folders and views that can be stacked in ways that feel more semi -Mac. But it can still feel the pulling and drop files of files depending on how to enhance the app to deal with it. Pulling images to browsers does not feel as on Mac, for example. It is close, but it is a little different.

Professional applications on iPad devices still need to develop. An apple for her Participate version For final pieces and logic applications on iPad while you can fully purchase versions on Mac. Some technical tools on iPad exceed what Mac devices can do, but other graphics or coding tools can still feel better on Mac devices. I do not live in these worlds a lot. In my life, I am more than a writer and editor I live in CMS and with a set of work applications.

I can get things up on the iPad now better than before but there are some strange moments. For this reason I still use the Mac to work after that. In fact, jumping again to the M2 MacBook Air after using the M1 iPad Air looks like a new jump in a swimming pool where everything works more than compensation. Ipados 26 is definitely not the same as the Mac, but it is trying.

But I am ready for the bridge, and I hope that iPados 26 is part of this bridge. Try it, but good like improvements, not everything there was yet.
