THE FUTURE’S LOOKING BRIGHT FOR
THE iPA D
At the time of writing, Apple has just released
iPadOS 13.2, which includes support for the
recently announced high-end AirPods Pro
earbuds – simply head into the Control Center
to activate Active Noise Cancellation, one of
the earpods’ headline features. [https://www.
macrumors.com/2019/10/28/apple-releases-
ios-13-2/] Also included in iPadOS 13.2 are
privacy features enabling you to, for example,
opt out of sharing your Siri audio recordings
with Apple.
As Apple continues rolling out further updates
to iPadOS, we can expect even iterative
improvements to mount up, bringing the iPad
even closer to – yes – replacing a laptop. Even
our own digital magazine has been specially
designed for easy use on the iPad; our pages
include high-quality images that look great on
the Retina display, while it’s easy to tap to zoom
in on the text columns, access the video links
and browse the magazine inside our app.
We also invite you to visit our website, where
we regularly post fresh news about intriguing
developments in the world of iPad – including
new software, iPad models and accessories.
Quite frankly, if you haven’t made much use of
the iPad for professional purposes so far, it looks
like the advent of the exciting iPadOS era could
prove to be the perfect time to start! We will
doubtless await further developments to see just
how well Apple makes good on the re-imagined
tablet software’s considerable promise.
