iOS 11 on iPad Pro: A Real World Scenario


as i've said many times in other threads, have been using ipad pro personal computer quite while now. have had ipads pro (first 9.7" , 10.5") set software need full time job well. don't using own personal gear work, since supply macs or pcs, allow log in office 365 of our other apps , services our personal devices in case want use in situations. come in handy when need answer email or @ project while i'm out , about.

yesterday things went haywire when updated company issued macbook air high sierra. update went fine, when got login screen on mac, no longer accept company credentials. on system not compatible high sierra, , forced kick off time machine restore earlier in afternoon. estimated 4 hour process, , had meetings , other things coming afternoon. use ipad pro during day take notes in 1 note during meetings. going have laptop, note pad, , phone line rolled one.

had team meeting coming in gotomeeting, tapped meeting link, entered session in gotomeeting app, , used airpods audio. had onenote open @ same time , when needed jot down, 4 finger swipe on onenote , write down apple pencil do. airpods worked brilliantly both mic , speakers meeting, have gone without , use built in ipad mic , speakers too. (added bonus: pace around office while "attending" meeting , still comfortably take notes.)

after meeting went "laptop mode" , had outlook, skype business, , safari open on screen @ same time, excel, salesforce, , word @ ready in dock. first real road test using ios 11 true multitasking, , felt liberated. situation not have worked in ios 10 because third app on top of split screen not permitted, , harder find , launch apps multitasking due awful slide on list. toward end of day when afternoon calmed down bit, had netflix going in pip mode in top corner while answered emails, kept track of projects, , continued monitoring mac restore.

worked way 4 hours yesterday using various apps , websites. felt weird able on ipad. did it. knew possible, i've never been forced work way yesterday. , going on , having started battery @ around 70%, still @ 25% when finished work day.

once time machine restore finished , , running on mac, have admit feeling bit smug. next time tells me can't "real work" on ipad pro, instead of telling them things use in regards music, writing, drawing, etc., i'm going tell them yesterday afternoon. got real work done. , didn't feel compromising 1 second.
 

awesome story. more impressive able comfortably use 3 apps on 10.5" opposed 12.9".
