Hi - on iPadOS16 beta1, we have been experimenting with connecting to external 1080p and 4k monitors using TypeC on latest M1 iPads. It appears to only display full-screen (non-mirrored) when there is a HID device such as mouse connected. This makes sense as you need to be able to control the screen independently. However for a touch screen external display (e.g. INNOCN) that supports multi-touch, it does not work. iPadOS (and macOS) do not have any multi-touch drivers. Is there plans for iPadOS (and indeed eventually macOS) to support external multi-touch screens?

In iOS16, will there be an open dialog that combines Photos and Files? For any creative app, this seems like a common scenario…I want to open a photo from either the Camera Roll or Files to edit in my cool app. I would envision the left toolbar showing sources, such as: On My iPad, iCoud Drive, and Camera Roll. Currently, it’s a bit clunky and confusing for users to have two different choices just to open a photo for editing. Thanks! James

The What's New in iPad Design session shows a slightly different order of navigation controls than what is available in the WWDC seed. The Pages toolbar, for example, shows the back button (managed by the toolbar?) followed by the sidebar button (managed by the UISplitView). Apps compiled with the seed feature the sidebar button followed by the back button. If the former is the design guidance, is there a setting that enables this behavior?
