  4. You can indeed have multiple USB drives plugged into iPad at once. It seems to refuse CDROMs, and doesn’t appear to support HFS+ disks (only FAT). Need more testing though

  5. Multi-window really is multi-window. You can spawn as many windows as you want in an app and cycle between them as necessary, or tear them off into new spaces

    So all the AppKit developers who were concerned that Marzipan would herald the beginning of the end of AppKit (myself included) can relax. It won’t be Marzipan (officially Catalyst). It’ll be SwiftUI.

    SwiftUI controls have layers that are managed directly by the framework; there are APIs for embedding an NS/UIView in SwiftUI and vice versa. Performance was a top priority, it's good
