I want iPad mini A17 Pro have StageManager

With StageManager, I can simultaneously play two horizontal orientated games on a vertical orientated iPad Pro.

iPad mini A17 Pro has 8GB ram and better CPU, I wonder if it is possible for Apple to make the change. Or where can I open a feature request to Apple?

First, your iPad mini A17 Pro apparently does not support Stage Manager - presumably due to its smaller screen size. The iPad User Guide states the following:


Models that support Stage Manager

  • iPad Air (5th generation)
  • iPad Air 11-inch (M2)
  • iPad Air 13-inch (M2)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (all generations)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (M4)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)
  • iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)



For iPad models that do support Stage Manager, iPadOS multitasking supports side-by-side split-screen in Landscape screen orientation only. You’ll perhaps note that the individual App windows, in side-by-side view, are actually the equivalent condensed “mobile” portrait view that you would see when using an iPhone.


iPadOS multitasking fundamentally does not support an over-under multitasking view in Portrait screen orientation - perhaps as re-scaling an App’s native portrait view to a landscape aspect ratio is not supported by many Apps.


Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal:
