iPadOS Split Windows have been more than a mess for me. Despite nearly 40 years spent absorbing the Apple way of thinking about interfaces, I could never, never remember how to invoke a split window. But occasionally I could do it by accident, at the very moment I did not want one, and then for real spend minutes of my life trying to get rid of the unwanted window. It was a straight-up interface failure. I’m very encouraged by the inclusion of actual controls for multi-tasking, even if the highlighting in the screenshots still looks distressingly low-contrast. My hope: someone, someday, is going to persuade Apple that a 9% grey tint is a minimum limit rather than a maximum limit.
