Recent rumors have suggested that Apple may be aiming to match Microsofts Surface by introducing a split-screen multitasking mode for iPads. But developer Steve Troughton-Smith has discovered code in iOS 8 that allows two apps to run side by side, suggesting that Apple has at least been working on the idea, even if its not ready to showcase the results just yet. From the sounds of it, Apple has looked at an approach resembling Microsofts snap functionality that would enable apps to be resized on the screen according to preference. Troughton-Smith says the code allows apps to take up half of the screen, a single quarter, or three quarters.
