ELEVATING THE EXPERIENCE WITH
iPadOS 15


iPad mini is made even more attractive and
powerful thanks to the launch of iPadOS 15,
which helps users be more productive than ever
before. Alongside new widget layouts on the
Home Screen and App Library to personalize and
organize apps, a new Quick Note feature is the
ideal way to stay on top of meetings and calls and
never miss a thing again.


Apple has brought the Translate app to iPad for
the irst time with new features such as Auto
Translate and face-to-face view, and multitasking
changes means Split View and Slide Over are
even more powerful. Apple has also introduced
Live Text, which uses on-device intelligence to
recognize text in a photo and allow users to
take action, and Focus has been added to allow
users to ilter notiications based on what they’re
currently doing, such as working, driving, or
sleeping. Combined, it makes the iPad mini one of
the most powerful iPads to date and a compelling
upgrade for anyone considering investing in a
new device.


It’s also worth giving a quick shout-out to the new
iPad, which was handed a refresh at the event.
The 10.2-inch iPad now features the A13 Bionic
chip, ofers Center Stage, True Tone, and comes
with double the storage capacity as standard.
“iPad has never been more essential for working,
learning, and communicating, and we’re excited
to bring one of the biggest updates ever to our
most popular iPad,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s
senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. The
reviews are in, and though most would agree the
new iPad does not ofer a signiicant upgrade like
the iPad mini, it’s still a solid device.
