Not sure if anyone has seen this.
A UI designer Jay Machalani made this iOS 8 concept back in 2014.

It took Apple 6 years to implement it.
Better late than never I guess.

Split screen on phones is just a gimmick in my opinion. Not sure about the implementation of it in Android, but there is just not enough screen estate to have a good experience on phones.

Imagine you have two apps open (let's say side by side in landscape mode). Then when you need to type something, the keyboard will pop out taking up almost half the screen. You are left with about 25% screen for each app. It would already be cramped on the 6.5 inch iPhone 11 Pro Max, how about the 4.7 inch iPhone SE?

Picture-in-picture mode which is coming in iOS 14 is far more useful.

Oh so the widgets can be placed at the centre as well? So far from photos I have only seen them on the left or right.
