Now, I wonder what this points to for next "iPad Pro." seems to paint the way.
"We've taken the core frameworks we use for drawing on the system and put them on top of Metal. 1.6X improvements in animations and scrolling)
Makes sense, since Air 2 has more RAM and extra core processor.

Split view only on iPad Air 2

"We provide developer APIs to let your apps work this way. Good news is you've already done most of this work. If adopted auto layout."
"iOS 9 devliers this great app switcher. That's avialble on iPhone as well. on iPad have slideover so can bring in apps from the side. Split view. And of course picture in picture."

"I'm going to bring in the new Notes app. Now I'm in split view. both are competely active. For the first time ever, multi app, multitouch. I can move them both at the same time."
"From top I can pull down and bring in other applications."
"With just a single finger swipe from side, can slide it in ... to check messages and go back to Safari."
"So let's start here on my iPad. Double tap on home button. See new task swticher. big, full screen previews of all the apps."

"iPad has always supported forms of multitasking. ... But for iOS 9, we're taking it to a while new place."
