About midway through the March 27 on-stage presentation introducing the new 2018 iPad, Greg Joswiak, Apple's VP of iOS, iPad and iPhone Product Marketing started talking about a software feature called Shared iPad. "Shared iPad allows a student to pick up any iPad off the school cart, tap on their name and once they log in, that iPad becomes their own. With their own apps, their own books and their own documents, ready to go."

"Awesome," I thought. Finally, Apple was introducing multi-user support to the iPad. That would bring Apple into parity with Google, which has had multi-user support on its Android tablets since 2012, and phones since 2014.
