Tangential, iPadOS 26 is absolutely unusable on iPad Minis. Who needs window management on an 8" screen?
-you can turn it off globally in settings
-some people use it docked
-if it wasn't available, someone else would be complaining about that
The Apple of the past never thought twice about people complaining about the lack of them implementing something that would be bad UX because they were confident in their design prowess.
Click targets on window controls are too small to ever make sense. Nobody needs this.

Really? I genuinely know no one that uses Stage Manager.
As the sibling says you can turn it off, but even the non-windowed UI is still not well-adapted to the small form factor. Apple doesn’t put any work into it. One can hope that some improvements might carry over from the upcoming foldable iPhone, whose inner display will only be slightly smaller, but I’m not holding my breath.
