cursor experience, Apple’s touch-first interface
has taken a priority, with a circular cursor that
mimics a thumb, allowing for gestures like Slide
Over, dragging and dropping, and opening the
Control Center with ease. The best part is that
most third-party apps won’t need to change
their code to work with the new operating
system or trackpad, but new APIs will be
introduced to provide deeper trackpad support.
It is also important to note that the new Pro will
work with a Magic Mouse, Magic Mouse 2, Magic
Trackpad, Magic Trackpad 2, and third-party
mice options using Bluetooth, making the tablet
the perfect laptop replacement for those who
prefer to work with a keyboard and mouse.
There’s no denying that the new iPad Pro is the
most advanced tablet Apple has ever created,
and the improvements introduced in 2020 take
it even higher. Though the 12.3-inch Surface
Pro 6 and Google Pixelbook are comparable in
price and specs, no other tablet can benefit from
the iPadOS experience, nor Apple’s individual
operating systems. With SideCar, Project
Catalyst and iCloud bringing Macs, iPhones,
and iPads closer together than ever, the future
for professionals is clear: working inside of the
Apple ecosystem just makes sense!
