Apple has finally sent me a review sample of the new iPad Pro to have a play with, the latest one with the M1 chip. I’ll bring you my full review next issue, but let me just say that I’m loving how snappy and fast it feels, and how great the screen looks, not to mention how well everything works with the Apple Pencil. Of course, the new iPad Pro is running iPadOS 14, and Apple has just announced details of its next iPadOS 15, which we reveal this issue. So my new iPad is already starting to feel a little out of date! The pace of Apple’s advancements never ceases to amaze me. As soon as you’ve got comfortable with the latest software, they’re updating it and adding more…

> Apple sees privacy as a human right, and has gone to great lengths to let you keep your personal data under your own control on your iPad, particularly through its app tracking transparency feature. In iPadOS 15 Apple is adding Mail Privacy Protection, which hides your IP address so senders can’t find your location, or know if and when you opened their email. The same IP hiding technology is also implemented in Safari, plus there’s a new section in Settings called App Privacy Report. Here you can see how often apps try to access your location, contacts, camera and more. And you can see all the third party domains the app is contacting.…

At its recent World Wide Developers Conference, Apple announced details of its upcoming iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad operating systems, now up to version 15 on iOS and iPadOS. Of course, it was iOS 15 that took centre stage at the event, but the same features are coming to iPadOS 15, as well as a few unique add-ons just for iPad, that we’re sure you’re going to love. “We’re excited to make the iPad experience even better with iPadOS 15,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “With more intuitive multitasking, a new Home Screen design with integrated widgets and the App Library, systemwide note taking with Quick Note, Translate designed for iPad, SharePlay, a redesigned Safari experience, new tools to stay focused, and more, users can…

The launch of iPadOS 14 in 2020 wasn’t the seismic shift we saw the previous year when the iPad got its own operating system for the first time. However, there are plenty of new features, tweaks, and improvements in this version. Today View widgets have evolved and now feature many of the same options as the Home Screen widgets introduced in iOS 14. So, you can now add Stacks and choose between large, medium and small widgets, for example. Lots of apps look different now too, thanks to the addition of sidebars and pull-down menus. App Clips make an appearance in iPadOS with this version, and you can now use an Apple Pencil to write in any text box and have your handwriting converted to text. And in the Notes…

If you connect a keyboard to your iPad you can access even more new features in iPadOS 14. For example, if you press ç+[spacebar], you’ll pull up the new Universal Search window. Search for an app in there and, when you find it, you can just drag it on to the screen to open it in Split View or Slide Over. Tapping the globe key on a Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard allows you to insert and emoji quickly in any text box. And, on a Magic Keyboard with a trackpad, you can double tap instead of tapping and dragging to drag items around the screen. These are in addition to the keyboard shortcuts that already exist in iPadOS and which you can see by pressing and holding the ç…

One of the things that really differentiates using an iPad from using an iPhone is keyboard shortcuts. If you connect an external keyboard to your iPad, then it makes the experience much more like using a Mac. For example, to search for something, instead of swiping down on the Home Screen and typing a search query on the on-screen keyboard then tapping a result, you can press ç+[spacebar], the same as Spotlight on the Mac, type the query, then press ® on the keyboard. In iPadOS 14, you can now even handwrite the search query with an Apple Pencil. 1 Add a Smart Stack to the Today View Tap and hold on any free space on the Home Screen. Tap ‘+’ in the top-left corner. The widgets drawer will appear,…

The Camera and Photos apps don’t get the big upgrade in iPadOS 14 that they did in the previous version. However, there are some very handy additions and improvements. The most immediately noticeable enhancement is in Photos, which has been redesigned to take advantage of the new sidebar that has been introduced across iPadOS 14. Photos also now allows you to filter photos in collections by favourites, edited, photos, and videos. And you can add captions to both photos and video. In the Camera app, you can now take a mirrored selfie that looks exactly as the image in the camera does on screen when you press the shutter. 1 Take a mirrored selfie Talking of taking a selfie that looks like the mirror image you see on the screen……

The built-in apps in iPadOS 14 are full of improvements and new features. Reminders has been overhauled, we’ve already shown you some great new additions in Mail, and Safari has been greatly improved, too. Shortcuts is now installed by default and much more powerful.

Tap a reminder in a shared list, then the people icon and choose a contact to assign the reminder to. 2 Enhance Voice Memos Voice Memos is a great app for recording everything from short voice notes to podcasts or narration for videos. Until now, your options for editing them within the Voice…
