iOS 9 brought with it the ability to split the iPad screen. When we are inside an application, we can slide from the right corner to make an application appear (Slide Over). If we want, we can leave this application fixed in that strip or divide the screen into two parts (Split View). On the other hand, we can also put floating videos, which is known as Picture-in-Picture. All of this could still be known by little, so Steve Troughton-Smith has created a concept of a iOS for iPad with window manager.
El or services Troughton-Smith will not be anything new for you if you are OS X users. As you can see in the following video, the simulation has three windows on the iPad screen, each and every one of them resizable on the left, right and bottom , something that we guess from the lines in the margins where we can change the size of each window, some lines that are also present on the lock screen to access the Control Center and the Notification Center.

Buttons close and maximize windows they look much larger than on OS X, which is probably due to the fact that the desktop operating system has been kept in size. It could also be to make them easier to touch with your fingers.
The truth is that the split screen allows us to be more productive. Although it is true that it may not be necessary for the windows to be the same as those of OS X, it is also true that limiting this type of function to two applications seems to me that it falls too short, something that is more noticeable in the operating system of desk. I don't think Apple does this on iOS, but why can't I split the screen to show at least four apps?
He broke his balls to make the concept ... It would never have occurred to me.
