Apple just announced a new variant of iOS, named ‘iPadOS’ that the tech giant created especially for bigger screens on the iPad lineup. The company stated that it dubbed the OS to observe the unique experience of the iPad.
The new iPadOS’ home screen has been revamped with a brand new layout that allows more applications on each page. The Today View, which is based on a widget, can be added to the home screen now, offering rapid access to news titles, the weather, events, and so on.
To further upgrade the iPadOS, Apple updated Slit Video to enable owners to operate more than one file and document from the same application simultaneously.

Slide Over enables users to view and shift among various apps rapidly, and App Exposé offers a rapid view of each open window.

Owners can swipe the Apple Pencil from the corner of the screen to open mark up mode, edit the document, and save it. In addition, iPadOS has lowered Apple Pencil’s latency down to 9 milliseconds.
