WASHINGTON: It seems like Apple has decided to run on Samsung’s footsteps, as new report recons that American technological giant’s latest software iOS 9 is expected to run split-screen multitasking feature made popular by Samsung devices.
Android M has been found to be hiding code for a multi window feature, and Apple has announced that it will be bringing Multi Window-like multitasking functionality to iOS 9, which will debut on iDevices later this year.
The feature exclusively debut on Samsung devices – Microsoft’s Surface tablets also have similar functionality, but Samsung has always been a step ahead of others.
The Galaxy tablets now support multitasking with up to four apps on the screen at a given time, and many of its phones support Multi Window, with the Galaxy Note II having introduced it back in 2012.
For iOS users, the multitasking feature isn’t coming to any device but the iPad Air 2, meaning they will have to upgrade to said tablet or future iterations to be able to enjoy the benefits.
