17.5.1 feels like **** if trying to use iPadOS desktop like features and some fundamentals. 17.6 feels a little bit better

They added apple pencil double tap speed recognition

Can you share why you highlight this moment? You can’t do this on 17?

Apple first introduced these changes on the iPhone in the EU with iOS 17.4 earlier this year, to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act. The expansion of the changes to the iPad in the EU comes nearly two months after the European Commission said iPadOS is also a gatekeeper platform ('https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/29/eu-says-ipados-digital-gatekeeper-dma/') under these new regulations.

The other changes include alternative payment options in the App Store, a default web browser selection screen in Safari, the ability for web browsers to use web engines other than Apple's WebKit on the iPhone and iPad, and more.

So Safari never changed Apple's catering to some ads being shown in their browser. But something like Brave with built in ad blocking is like it runs on a Mac now. In iPadOS 17 all 3rd party web browsers used webkit engine, not their own. I thought this might have been like iOS 17 and region activated, but it appears not.
