Make iPhone Usable Track Pad When Using iPad Please
I literally just learned Apple is FINALLY allowing mouse support in iPadOS as an accessibility feature, so hopefully it will work with virtual desktops well. Either way, you should let people log in with their iPad & iPhone and use the phone screen as a track pad for the desktop on the iPhone. With new OLED devices, you can have a mostly black screen with outlines for left and right click and the battery life would be amazing. Maybe a scroll section in between the “buttons”? As a selectable option you could even let us use a hard force touch (unless that’s going away) for right click and a quick tap as a left click if you want. Honestly, I’m surprised this hasn’t been done yet. Even IF iPadOS let’s me use a proper mouse, this would still be a great option to have when traveling light.

This works great for basic use.
If I’m on the go and need to just do simple tasks in my VDI session this works perfectly! I bought a Dash 3 pen for my iPad Pro and am able to precisely select things in outlook, vCenter and other apps I use to manage infrastructure. I know I can’t do really heavy things inside of this, especially without Mouse support (which isn’t VMware’s fault) but for being able to switch into it at the drop of a hat in a meeting without having to mess with bringing my laptop (it’s a tank), it’s great!

Read the release notes
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, release notes are a thing software vendors use to explain additions, omissions and other important information contained in new releases. If you are responsible for your corporate software stack and you don’t read these then you get what you deserve. TLS 1.0 should be deprecated everywhere and it will be soon. If you’re upset by that....🤷♂️
