iPadOS 16 Turns the iPad into a Laptop
Apple’s ongoing quest to turn the iPad into a complete laptop replacement is still going strong, and iPadOS 16 brings the company one step closer to its goal.
With iPadOS, Apple will let users make the most out of their screen’s real state. You’ll be able to adjust the pixel density of the windows you have open in split-screen mode. Why? This will help you get more information on the screen which will be helpful if you need to write long essays or work on large projects.
Not only that, but Apple’s also going to add Stage Manager to the iPad. This feature helps you focus more on the tasks you’re doing by putting the app you’re using right at the center of the screen. Not only that, but you can also organize better the apps you want to leave open in the background and open them whenever you need to.
Of course, not all of us like to work on such a small screen; that’s why Apple also added support for external displays in iPadOS 16. You’ll be able to have up to 8 apps open, and you can have up to four apps on your iPad and the other four on the external monitor. This will take your productivity to the next level.
There are other features that are aimed at artists, gamers, and people who like to organize their projects with everyone on a call coming as well. There’s no doubt that, with iPadOS 16, the iPad is pretty much a decent laptop replacement in Apple’s eyes. We’ll have to see how it works in practice, though.
