Apple wwdc 2021 no hardware12/10/2023 The widgets feature really just caught iPad up with a feature that the iPhone got last year, while the other features are nice but hardly worthy of a $2,400 device with desktop-class internals. There’s also now the addition of the Swift Playgrounds app builder, not the full version of Xcode we were anticipating. Apple introduced widgets for the iPad, which can be placed anywhere, more user-friendly multitasking, improved notes, quick notes, and improved keyboard shortcuts. What we got in iPadOS 15 was disappointing at best. There I sat, watching the keynote as they started to introduce iPadOS 15. I was waiting for a ground-up redesign of the Files app, more external monitor support, iPad versions of professional apps like Final Cut Pro, or a real “full” version of Photoshop, perhaps use of Lightroom Classic on iPad? I had very high hopes! A common analogy for the M1 iPad Pro is that it’s like having a Ferrari and only being allowed to drive it in a school zone. I have been holding off picking up an M1 iPad Pro, as the hardware is useless without the software to take advantage of it. Nothing too exciting so far, what’s next? iPadOS 15Īs I mentioned earlier, I had high hopes for iPadOS 15. Safari has also been redesigned across all operating systems with improvements for privacy and the ability to hide your real email address when signing up for things. IOS 15 will also include improved notifications, spatial audio, maps, and weather applications. This feature has been part of Google Lens for some time now, and it’s good to see Apple implementing it in all their operating systems. It’s unfortunate that with so many people now going back to work and socializing in person, these features feel as though they’re a year late.Īnother significant feature that’s been added to all of the Apple operating systems in 2021 is the ability to select and copy text from images. Apple seems to be pushing Facetime as a serious alternative to video conferencing apps like Zoom. It was exciting to see that we’ll now be able to schedule Facetime calls and invite users on PC and Android devices. There was a heavy focus on communicating and engaging with friends and family virtually. iOS 15Īpple started the keynote with a first look at the new iOS 15 features for iPhone. ![]() iPad apps are also limited to only 5 GB of RAM per app this makes a 16 GB version fairly pointless. I was expecting Apple to improve file handling and bring better external monitor support to the iPad Pro at the very least. Despite the power in these tablets, the iPadOS operating system is still a glorified iOS, much more similar to the operating system found on the iPhone range than a serious professional operating system like macOS, which powers the Mac and MacBook computers.
