In a few hours, one of the most important technological events of the year will take place, where we will learn about the main Apple operating systems, such as iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS 14. However, with the recent release of Final Cut Pro for iPad, this version has acquired a great hype among users, but, what do we know about this new version? Let’s analyze it below:
New functions
Apple seems to be clear that iPadOS has to have more and more importance within its main operating systems, since this device has to be a perfect nexus in productivity both individually and with the Mac. In turn, iPadOS, which is born from iOS, has to maintain perfect symbiotic bonds with the iPhone, due to its large component of multimedia consumption. For this reason, its improvements will be focused on both lines.
- Home screen redesign: The new screen that was released with iOS 16, it is very likely that it will end up reaching the iPad, above all, due to Apple’s current policy of transferring its news to all operating systems. The home screen would be much more customizable in such a way that it would allow you to place apps and widgets where you want.
- Multi-screen support: One of the limitations of the iPad is that you can only use it on a single external monitor, so being able to connect it to two devices can be a leap forward when it comes to working with them.
- Integration with Apple Watch: As a result of the synchronization that the iPad has with the iPhone, the iPad could assume new functionalities and synchronization with the Apple Watch, and with applications such as Apple Fitness.
- Modes of concentration: Apple will add new concentration and customization features, as it was included in macOS Ventura and iOS.
- The Health App: Apple seems that with iPadOS 17, the iPad health app will have a new interface design and functions such as monitoring our mood and keeping a personal diary.
- Live Speech: It allows us to generate spoken phrases with our voice, so that users can communicate more quickly and naturally, both in face-to-face conversations and in Face Time videoconferences.
