WWDC: Is Apple preparing to give the iPad a huge upgrade?
The lack of true multitasking has long been a criticism cast on the iPad, but this may (or may not) change, and we at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). You may (or may not) learn more about. The big event will start on June 6th.
Let’s mix, let’s mix
Evidence of change is sparse — consists of additional WebKit code for multitasking mode that suggests a freely resizable window. What this really means is that you can open multiple windows on your iPad and resize them to your liking, close to the Mac experience.
Developer Steve Trouton-Smith speculates This code not only provides feasible support for new iPad OS-powered devices, but may also provide a Mac desktop-like user experience.
Apple continues to respect the differences between the iPad and Mac while bringing the user experience closer.Its vision extends to complementary use, as evidenced by Universal control It was announced in 2021. In the latter, you can use your Mac and iPad with one mouse and keyboard to control both and improve partnerships between platforms. For example, you can drag and drop items between devices.The sum of both devices used together looks like this: Larger than the partsWhile both devices retain their uniqueness.
With a bigger engine
When Apple mobile, Both devices have a much larger engine.With this in mind, it’s very interesting despite Apple’s use of the Mac class. M1 Apple Silicon Chip on most iPad seriesLittle is known about how it will be abused processing power On the iPad OS 16, Apple didn’t power up the range for no good reason, but speculation hasn’t been noticeable in recent weeks.
What we’ve heard consists of improved notifications about “new ways to interact with apps” and “new Apple apps” and vague noise. I don’t think we know much, but it suggests improvements to the platform for notifications, health apps, and potentially the company’s expected future development of AR glasses.
The guess codename for Apple’s next macOS iteration is “Mammoth, “It makes sense to anticipate big news about the company’s platform. The changes you see on your Mac will be reflected on your iPad and vice versa. It makes much more sense for Apple to have a large plan for productivity devices. ‘t.
Direction of travel
Looking back on the year, Universal Control was probably the most anticipated feature announced at WWDC last year. For Apple’s iPad desiderata It is also clearly expressed There are slideovers, split views, still multi-window shelves and more.Even the introduction of capacity Create an app with Swift Playgrounds Shows the direction towards more features in order to take full advantage of the features of these machines.
In recent years, Apple has significantly improved the iPad OS’s multitasking experience with enhanced features such as slideover, split view, and dock. For example, iPadOS 15 added a new multitasking menu at the top of the app, adding a more intuitive experience with a central window, a new multiwindow shelf, and a split view. The latest speculation about resizable windows is the biggest claim to date and suggests another round of multitasking improvements on the iPad.
What does this mean for your business?
So what does this suggest to you and your business?
That’s easy to mean. Apple continues its mission to provide an equally familiar user experience on both iPad and Mac. This does not mean the same experience. Each platform has its own quality, but it covers everything from the same keyboard shortcuts to pointer and keyboard support. This attempt also means that the iPad is becoming a competent computer replacement for more and more tasks.
One of the best barometers for this growing feature is Photoshop for iPad. The application seems to be accelerating development, just a few weeks ago by Adobe Added two incredibly powerful tools To iPad App — Fill and remove content-enabled backgrounds.
As the iPad continues to improve, the product family will become an increasingly viable alternative platform. The essential mobility of the iPad is to Apple, Unique technology you currently own.. Think of kiosks, wearables, e-paper devices, smart entertainment systems, and more.

While multitasking improvements simply improve the functionality of your device, improving functionality and the classes of apps they support do the same.

It’s clear that Apple must continue to gain momentum behind the iPad range. Shipments rose to a peak of 17.5 million at 21 in the fourth quarter, but component-related logistics issues reduced first-quarter sales to 12.1 million. Maintain leadership in the tablet market, It will want to integrate and advance its market. Multitasking improvements should help you achieve that. The fact that the tablet now boasts a high-end Mac processor makes this a clear goal. Little is known about Apple’s plans for iPad OS 16 (little insight into iOS 16), which means that Apple’s WWDC announcement on June 6 will draw attention to all eyes (virtual and others). Means.
