Matt Birchler: ‘iOS…iPadOS…are you getting it? These are not two different operating systems…’

I expect that in iPadOS 27, these 3 options will remain, but the full screen apps option will bring the return of split screen that does not involved free-floating windows like we have now in iPadOS 26. In June, this will make a lot of iPad users happy who didn’t love needing to opt into full windowing to get the split views they used to love.

Gosh, I hope so. The windowed apps have not been an improvement on my iPad mini. I wish I could go back to iOS 18 with traditional Split View and Slide Over.
