Files and Safari

While Apple has made some good strides in recent iOS versions, file management on iOS is still a bit of a mess compared to how it works on the Mac, since of course everything is siloed within individual apps.

With iOS 13, however, it looks like Apple will continue to make some improvements, and while there’s no word yet of the one thing we’re really hoping for — support for external storage devices — the new Files app will apparently work better with third-party software.

More interestingly, Safari may also be gaining a downloads manager to allow users to actually keep track of anything they’ve downloaded through the browser in a single location — something that’s desperately needed for those who want to use the iPad Pro as a serious computing platform.
