iPadOS 27 still needs simpler multitasking, here’s what I’d like to see

Last year, Apple completely https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/18/these-ipados-26-features-make-the-ipad-more-mac-like-than-ever/">reinvented multitasking on the iPad, with the introduction of windowing in iPadOS 26.

At first, this meant the removal of the simpler version of multitasking, Split View and Slide Over.

Those features did https://9to5mac.com/2025/10/06/ipados-26-1-beta-2-restores-slide-over-multitasking-back-to-ipad/">eventually return, but at a cost – they required you to use the clunky new windowing system.

I was hoping iPadOS 27 would improve this, but it didn’t.
