Right now, the tablet feels like a device still seeking its full unlocked potential. But I'd expect that this year will be a big opportunity for the M1 iPad Pro. We'll find out how much the iPad Pro's OS changes then. We'll find out soonĪpple's virtual WWDC is starting June 7. The moment those move to the iPad Pro is the moment the iPad Pro can start to really be considered a pro alternative to the Mac.
#HOW TO SPLIT SCREEN ON IPAD PRO 2021 HOW TO#
These multitasking features are powerful if you know how to use them, but they can be confusing. Apple's XCode environment, which is used to create Mac, iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS and TVOS apps, is Mac-only. Apple first introduced multitasking features called Split View and Slide Over in iOS 9. I'd expect Apple to announce a lot more pro apps, and support for them, at WWDC. Those, at the least, should be part of the M1 iPad Pro experience. The iPad Pro is considered a professional computer, but it doesn't even have Apple's own Logic or Final Cut Pro. Ideally, these apps would also be cross-buy if you already own them on a Mac. I can't see any reasons why Mac apps shouldn't run on iPads that are running the same processor. Apps may need to be converted or touch-optimized, but Apple already does an excellent job with keyboard, trackpad and mouse support on iPadOS.
This year, the opposite should happen: let all the Mac apps move over to iPadOS on M1 iPad Pros. Otherwise, plugging in a monitor only ends up mirroring iPadOS in a version that is pillarboxed to the aspect ratio of the iPad display.Īpple enabled iOS apps to run on Macs last year. The iPad Pro's current monitor support is limited to apps that choose to support it for second-screen features. True monitor support for multiscreen connections
(Seen here: 2020 iPad Pro in Kensington StudioDock, connected to monitor) The 2020 iPad Pro works with monitors in a similar way to the 2021 iPad Pro, but that should change. There are other clear ways the new iPad Pros could (and should) be massively improved in the next version of iPadOS. Let's assume Apple does not create a "Mac mode" in the iPad Pro, even though I'd love for it to happen. Also, these updates could factor into whether or not you should consider buying one. There are looming possibilities of what a new iPadOS could unlock in the latest iPads. This year, the online-only WWDC is happening mere weeks after the launch of its recent iPad Pros. Apple tends to show an advance look at where the next version of its OS is heading at the annual WWDC developer conference.
