Apple officially announced the ipados 16, the latest version of its iPad operating system to be launched later this year. It shares some new features with IOS 16 and MacOS, such as redesigned home page application and support for passkeys in Safari browser, but it also has its own improvements. There is a new weather app and a new collaboration feature in Apple's office productivity suite.
Users can collaborate directly from the shared tables of office applications such as pages of ipados 16, allowing other users to join and start editing a central file. This sounds similar to the functions provided by Google in services such as docs and sheet over the years. Apple It also establishes collaboration functions in Safari browser and provides APIs for developers to add similar functions to their own applications.
Ipados enhances the multitasking experience, with up to eight applications running simultaneously.
The stage manager window management function will be launched on the iPad soon. At the same time, it will support all external display. Now the window can be resized and slid to the left, and there can be overlapping windows.
Reference color mode will be available on the iPad, which will be used for photo and video workflows. A new display zoom setting will allow you to increase the display density so that you can see more applications. But only for M1 iPad.
So far, Apple has not yet taken the iPad as a desktop product by default.
Later this year, Apple will launch a new app called free form, which looks like a hybrid of iPad note taking app + collaboration + FaceTime Free form is about to log in iphone , iPad and MAC.
