In a new interview Take the crunchAnd this Craig Federici, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, expands on the future of the stage manager, the decision to control iPad M1 devices, and more.
Craig Frederick as stage manager:
Criticizing stage manager support only on the M1 iPad Air and iPad Pro, Federigi explained that one of the biggest challenges is ensuring that this feature meets Apple’s expectations of “interactive performance”. Importantly, this is Apple’s expectation that “any processor you start up can respond to immediately.”
According to Federici, the M1s were the only models that could meet these expectations, with higher RAM, faster storage and support for virtual memory conversion.
“Only the iPhone M1 devices combine high DRAM capability, ultra high performance and high NAND performance, which allows us to convert our virtual memory at astounding speeds,” says Petriki. “Now we’ve given you four applications and four applications on board – up to eight applications that are instantly responsive and have more memory, we do not have that capability on other systems.”
Pedrigi also noted that only the iPad M1 can support the full display of external display features due to the Thunderbolt port. He said graphic performances also played a role in that decision.
“When you put it all together, we can not deliver the full stage manager experience in a minimal setting,” says Petriki. “I mean, we’re happy to make it available as much as we can, but that’s what is needed. This is the experience we carry with us into the future.
In anticipation of the future of the stage manager, Petrique said that Apple is closely monitoring the feedback and response to the release of the feature included in the iPadOS 16 Beta 1. As expected, Federici promised that Apple would continue to work on this aspect. Make improvements in the summer.
Pedrigi noted that Apple is already planning a number of new features and changes:
“We’ve already planned some of them when it comes to stage manager on both Mac and iPad,” says Petriki. And in some comments the things we like are ‘yes, that means it comes in second or third place!’ “These things have already been identified, they are errors, incomplete materials, behavioral changes.
“It simply came to our notice then. Much of the reaction we expect from those unfamiliar with the system or the areas we have made improvements to the ride. So, yes, we will definitely do it.
