The new iOS 13.4 and iPadOS 13.4 software update will bring a range of new features to the iPhone and iPad, one of them will be improved support for both a mouse and trackpad.
Dave Lee has put together a great video that gives us a look at how the mouse and trackpad will work on the iPad with iPadOS 13.4.
Enhanced Mouse and Trackpad Support
As we can see from the video, the update will make the iPad a lot more friendly to people who use a mouse and trackpad on a regular basis. The new iPadOS gives you a range of options to customize how the mouse and trackpad on your device. This includes the ability to adjust the tracking speed, customize gestures, and even change the appearance of the cursor. The cursor itself is designed to be context-aware, meaning it will change shape depending on what you’re pointing at, making it easier to interact with different elements on the screen.
For example, when you hover over text, the cursor transforms into an I-beam, making it clear that you can start typing or selecting text. When you move the cursor to the edge of the screen, it will disappear, giving you a more immersive experience. This level of customization and intuitive design makes the iPad a more versatile tool for both casual users and professionals.
New Features and Improvements
In addition to the enhanced mouse and trackpad support, iOS 13.4 and iPadOS 13.4 bring several other new features and improvements. One notable addition is the introduction of iCloud Drive folder sharing, which allows users to share entire folders with other iCloud users. This feature is particularly useful for collaborative projects, as it enables multiple people to access and edit the same set of files in real-time.
Another significant update is the addition of new Memoji stickers, giving users more ways to express themselves in messages and social media. Apple has also made improvements to the Mail app, including a redesigned toolbar that makes it easier to manage your emails. The update also includes a range of bug fixes and performance improvements, ensuring a smoother and more reliable user experience.
Apple will be releasing their iOS 13.4 and iPadOS 13.4 software updates tomorrow, their new iPad Pro is coming on Wednesday and it will feature the OS out of the box. The new iPad Pro is expected to come with a range of advanced features, including a LiDAR scanner for improved augmented reality experiences, a new A12Z Bionic chip for enhanced performance, and a dual-camera system for better photography and videography.
