Master iPados
Many iPad owners have been begging for the iPad operating system to match the hardware which in recent times has leapt forward in ways that we had not expected. The sheer power in the latest iPads easily competes with pro-level Macs in terms of speed and functionality, but the OS has remained closer to that of the iPhone than a tool you could use to get serious stuff done.
With iPadOS Apple has changed that, to a point, and it is currently in the stage where it carefully manages to balance the needs of power users alongside those of people who just want to use their iPads for entertainment and general computing related tasks. It is obviously essential for Apple to keep the iPad as usable and smooth as possible because that is its main selling point, but when you look beneath the surface of this new version you will find all sorts of changes and new features that can take your iPad usage to a whole new level. We will help you to understand all that is new and to take advantage of what could be the most perfectly balanced operating system to date.
A new home
One of the most obvious visual, and needed, changes is the new Home screen layout in iPadOS. It is a lot more interactive now and you get to see more information at a glance, but at no point does it feel overwhelming or crowded. The balance that iPadOS strikes is perfectly demonstrated in the new Home screen.
