This is a step backwards. The red background was at least distinctive. What are we doing here?
I disagree - vertical tab bar was always just a compromise. Also please note that in this orientation, we would loose a lot more content space for just few buttons on the side.
This is probably also the way I'll be using device the most for reading.

this is not native-vs-overengineered multiplatform reinvented framework debate. but this is User Experience debate. Why, why, how the computer application launch on M5 MacBook takes 9 seconds (and 2 GB memory) to show a window with text input on it. This is not normal. somethning is not great with the new software.
ChatGPT app time-to-launch codex is ~9 seconds
Commander app time-to-launch codex is ~2 seconds

I launch Codex/ChatGPT and it takes 2.5GB memory doing nothing - is impressive for a chat app
I would just prefer two separate apps 🤷♂️
1. A simple agent/chat to handle everyday questions and tasks but also some work, with access to files, apps, etc.
2. A dedicated Codex app for advanced agentic workflows and coding.
Why this behemoth of an app with 3 separate modes? 🤷♂️
It's fine especially that web browsing will be done mostly in unfolded state 🤷♂️
This is why you buy this device in the first place right?
But I can imagine that most web browsing on this device will be happening in unfolded portrait orientation 🤔

If “slop grenade” isn’t the term of the year, I don’t know what is.
Respect your peers’ time. Be thoughtful, even in a world moving this fast.
Don’t throw slop grenades.
Lazy work used to mean too little output.
Now, with AI, it often means too much and more work for everyone else.
@tobi call it "slop grenades."
A "Slop Grenade" is when you let AI produce the work and pass it on without adding any value (including checking it).
Someone else has to wade through it, catch the mistakes, and clean up the mess.
You save time and look productive but someone else pays for it.
I would say it's a "sidegrade" 🤔 Some things are genuinely better, like more sensible and easier access to device controls and properties.
But some are downgraded, like taking screenshots - for some reason I can no longer copy it to clipboard 🤷♂️
Apple clearly sees iPhone Duo as its own thing - not quite iPhone, not quite iPad 📱
It gets some iPad features, but will it also support:
• Mac Continuity keyboard & mouse
• Acting as a Mac external display 🖥️
Those two would make it more compelling for Mac power users 🤔
Oh yeah same for me except I broke my screen once (among 9 iPhones/iPod touches and 6 iPads)
But I doubt some screen protector would've protected it.
To be honest - I would like this mode on iPad - and back of split-screen multitasking in general 🤷♂️
