First of all, as I have already pointed out, its CPU is extremely fast, allowing the device to run pretty much any app designed for iPadOS at an instant (and as you see further down, the performance surely does not disappoint). There are many other improvements and changes that are delivered with the iPadOS, and it looks like Apple will be continuously delivering updates to the iPad in the future in order to make it as close to a laptop in terms of functionality as possible.ĭespite its weaknesses, such as a single USB Type-C port and inability to run MacOS software, the iPad Pro does some things really well, arguably better than most laptops. The Files app is used to connect to external storage and perform copy, move or delete file operations. In addition to this, there is now support for downloading files into the Files app, as well as accessing iCloud and other cloud storage such as Adobe Cloud and Dropbox.

The Safari browser now works as a desktop browser, so you can work with a laptop-grade browser instead of mobile. The iPadOS also addresses this problem, so now you can use a USB Type-C mouse or a Bluetooth-enabled mouse to connect to the iPad. Although Apple has had the Apple Pencil for drawing / sketching, the main interface was primarily aimed for finger touching only. With the iPadOS announcement, this limitation has finally been lifted – it is now possible to access external storage media and perform file copy operations.Īnother limitation was the inability to use a mouse on the iPad / iPad Pro. This prevented the iPad from being used as a tool to back up photos or transfer images between different memory cards and devices. One of the biggest criticisms that iPad had over many years, was its inability to access external storage devices.

For the first time, Apple decided to make a separate operating system for the iPad and iPad Pro that addressed many of the concerns creatives had with these devices. Things changed big time with the announcement of the iPadOS in June of 2019. With the iPad / iPad Pro running the same iOS operating system as the iPhone, it was no more than a tablet with very limited functionality.

In the past, the iPad could not qualify to be a true laptop replacement.
