For those thinking that Mail has long been overdue some real attention from Apple, you’ll like the changes in iPadOS 16. The new Undo Send can help you in those heart-in-mouth moments when you’ve accidentally sent the wrong thing or sent it to the wrong person, and Mail will also warn you if your message says you’ve included a file or photo and forgotten to attach it. You can now schedule emails to go at specific times rather than right now, put sent messages in your inbox for you to remember to chase the recipient, and you can also get Mail to remind you about emails you’ve looked at but haven’t responded to. One of our favourite changes is the least spectacular-looking but by far the most useful, though. Search…

› £4.49/month › FROMcaptureone.com › NEEDS iPadOS 15 or later For photographers who like to shoot in their camera’s Raw file format, to get every last scrap of sharpness and dynamic range, the market for serious mobile processing solutions on iPad has been narrow. The top three being Adobe Lightroom Mobile, Affinity Photo, and Pixelmator Photo. Capture One’s entry to the market is an interesting one. It’s long been a prestige brand for image editing – the more expensive alternative to Lightroom – with a processing engine capable of getting the very best results. The iPad, even the larger Pro models, isn’t ideal for Raw processing. It’s not a device to build up a catalogue on, and the lack of ability to adjust the screen beyond True Tone is a…

We’ve come a long way since the first iPad in 2010. That one ran iPhone OS 3.2, and critics mocked it as a giant iPhone. They did have a point, but even then Apple was making the iPadOS different from the iPhone one – and with each new release, those differences have become much more significant. iPadOS 16 really blurs the lines between iPads and Macs, especially when it comes to multitasking. iPadOS 16 isn’t trying to turn your iPad into a Mac, though. It’s still very much a mobile operating system that plays to the iPad’s particular strengths; its portability, its touchscreen, and its ability to completely transform into different things based on the app you’re using. This is a very big update. It introduces a brand new way…

Isolate from background We loved Photos’ cut-out feature when it arrived in iOS 16 and we’re just as addicted to it on our iPad. Simply long-press on the subject of an image until you see it briefly shimmer and you can then copy it to another app or share it with others – so as you can see in our screenshot you can take a fairly busy photo and remove its background very effectively. You can then use it as an image in Pages, send it in Messages or even use it as an iMovie background. The feature works best with images that have strong contrast between the subject and background, but we’re frequently surprised by how well it copes with tougher images too. The feature isn’t just in Photos;…

Marshal Acton III REVIEWS › £239.99 › FROM Marshall, marshallheadphones.com › FEATURES Bluetooth 5.2, 45Hz–20kHz, 3.5mm AUX-in The smallest member of Marshall’s third generation of bluetooth speakers, the Acton punches well above its weight (and weedy size), offering a wider soundstage than its predecessor, re-engineered audio, and the room-filling signature sound you expect from a rock legend. Inside the Acton III’s 26x17x15cm bass-reflex cab is a 30 Watt Class D woofer and two 15 Watt tweeters that are angled outwards to deliver a consistently solid sound that is so wide it chases you around the room. In addition to this, Dynamic Loudness adjusts the tonal balance of the sound to ensure that your music sounds clean and defined at every volume. And you can get straight down to the business…

Stage Manager, the new multi-tasking interface in iPadOS 16, has had a bit of a bumpy ride; it’s been widely criticised by many prominent developers for its many bugs in the iPadOS betas, and it’s been suggested that those bugs are at least part of the reason for the delay in getting iPadOS 16 released. As things stand at the moment Stage Manager is now officially a beta feature, and one of its previously announced benefits – external monitor support – has been temporarily removed. Device compatibility has been changed too; what was originally reserved only for M1 and M2-powered iPads now works on iPad Pros with A12X and A12Z chips. Stage Manager isn’t on by default; you have to switch it on in the Control Centre. Once you do,…

Passwords have been with us since long before computers were even a twinkle in Charles Babbage’s eye. They haven’t aged well; they’ve become so complex that we need iCloud Keychain to manage them, and even then websites keep leaking them to the baddies and undoing all our best efforts to make them completely incomprehensible. Enter Passkeys, which are designed to change all that. Passkeys are a new way of identifying yourself to online sites and services, and in Safari they are very simple to use; when you’re creating a login for a site that supports Passkeys, Safari will ask if you want to create one and then ask you to use Touch ID to confirm you’re you. That then generates a unique, encrypted identifier that tells the site that you’re…
