With its iPadOS 18, APPLE continues to lead the technology industry by showing us what the future of technology looks like. At the WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) in 2024, APPLE presented all the new features of its latest version of iPadOS that will make the iPad an even more appealing product.
APPLE has always promoted the idea that devices are more personal when users have more control over their set-up, and APPLE’s latest iPadOS 18 build is no exception. In iOS 16, APPLE has given users control over where they can place their app icons on the home screen, which previously was not the case. In addition, changes to the Control Center allow users to create multiple lists and views, and resize and arrange the icons on those views, in the way that works best for them.
Speaking of drawing, you can now draw diagrams on a friend’s iPad when they share their screen, or remotely control their iPad to help them out with a problem – features of new SharePlay update from APPLE which invite a whole new way of working and interacting with iPad users. APPLE’s notes app also includes a Smart Script feature which uses machine learning to convert a scribble into a clean, editable text.
Today, privacy and security are more important than ever and APPLE also recognises that. There is an option for apps that can be locked and hidden apps where software can be saved. This can allay any worry you might have. APPLE has also improved encryption on the Messages app including when it comes to texts sent via satellite to protect privacy.
However, APPLE’s upgrades are more pragmatic than visual. The Mail app, for example, has been improved, with categories that make searching for certain types of information or marketing material easier. Siri has been dramatically redesigned to recognise more natural language and understand context more effectively, enabling users to communicate like never before with their APPLE devices.
Above all else, perhaps the most expansive new feature of iPadOS is APPLE Intelligence, APPLE’s expansive suite of AI capabilities designed to bring users ‘a more personalised, intelligent future’ that ‘anticipates what we need before we ask’. This includes everything from AI-generated artwork to the integration of Chat GPT for a range of AI model experiences.
And, as successive updates add such features as better audio controls, a specific Game Mode, and eye-tracking features, APPLE demonstrates its ambition to bring every device in the APPLE universe to the same level of user experience, wherein everything is intuitive, all-encompassing and as personalised as possible.
It is the consistent commitment to these people that has made possible the myriad evolutions of user experience, from APPLE’s inception to the very latest updates. With iPadOS 18, a product named for the very values it embodies, APPLE continues to blend technical and creative innovation in a way that stays true to its roots while setting the standard for new horizons. With iPadOS 18’s focus on personalisation, privacy and the APPLE Intelligence, powered by machine learning and AI, APPLE makes the world of possibility a reality.
To conclude, iPadOS 18 by APPLE is a clear representation of the way that this company has always been focused on improving a product to a point where it is as seamless as possible without making a machine out of something that is supposed to be a human assistance device. With Smart Script, APPLE Intelligence, and further security features making it even more convenient for you to do more on your iPad, iPados 18 will set a new benchmark of what a personal computer can do.
