More and more users are starting to favor the iPad for the sake of productivity, especially since theteleworkwas democratized. Apple's tablet has experienced meteoric growth in recent years, with $7.2 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021. This is the fifth most prolific sector for the brand, behind Macs.
But as we had already pointed out the previous year, it is still quite difficult for some consumers to see the interest in such products compared to the undeniable interest in MacBooks.The manufacturer has no intention of clarifying the situation., at least for the moment. And that's also what some improvements apparently on the way for the touchscreen range suggest...
An even more efficient OS?
In its usual newsletterPower On, Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) thus believes that Apple would not wishnot port macOS to iPad. This is one thing, but this time the journalist wanted to go further and proposed to decline the tablet operating system in three modes, the first of which would be the current interface. The second, for its part, would be optimized according to the possibilities offered by the Apple Pencil. Finally, a third would fully exploit the advantages of more imposing accessories like theMagic Keyboardor the touchpad.
These improvements could then be accompanied by additional features, headlined by amultitasking modeeven more powerful than Split View, includingreal floating windowseven resizable like Monterey. For Gurman, we should even be able to minimize them in the dock, which should also accommodate files to be moved as desired on the home screen like the desktop on a computer.
What do you think of such ideas? Remember that these are not hypotheses based on leaks but rather simple suggestions, which the author justifies by the difficulty for Apple to maintain the current design of its programswith a wider diagonal.
Demonstration in June
To find out if Apple will bother to update its iPad, the appointment is given. ThereWWDCis in fact scheduled for June 6, 2022, where we will certainly discover iPadOS 16 and its new features. The app switching animation should in particular be modified.
On the hardware side, it is mainly Macs that are expected around the corner. The 15-inch tablet that Gurman had already mentioned earlier, meanwhile, has no supposed release date for the moment.
