iPadOS 16 brought a handful of new features, especially for M1 iPad users.
With the public beta now available, if you want to know how you can take
full advantage of the upcoming operating system and whether its worth
upgrading to an M1 iPad Air or M1 iPad Pro, here are their exclusive
features on iPadOS 16.
Stage Manager as the star of iPadOS 16 and M1 iPad users
Stage Manager will be available exclusively to the M1 iPad Air and M1 iPad
Pro.
Heres what you can do with this iPadOS 16 feature:
Resizable windows: Resize your windows to make them the perfect size for
your task;
Center app: Focus on the app youre working with without going full
screen;
Fast access to windows and apps: The windows of the apps youre working
in are displayed prominently in the center, and other apps are arranged on
the left side in order of recent use;
Overlapping windows: Create overlapping windows of different sizes in a
single view, giving you the control to arrange your ideal workspace;
Group apps together: Drag and drop windows from the side or open apps from
the Dock to create app sets that you can always get back to.
External display support for M1 iPad users running iPadOS 16
Another important feature coming to M1 iPad users running iPadOS 16 is the
ability to have proper external display support.
As Apple explains, full external display support comes to iPad Pro with the
M1 chip with resolutions up to 6K, which means you can work with different
apps on your iPad and external display. Running iPadOS 16, you can also:
Access apps on external display: Access your favorite apps and the ones
that you used recently from the Dock, or use App Library to find the app you
want faster;
Drag and drop between iPad and external display: M1 iPad users running
iPadOS 16 can drag and drop files and windows from their iPad Pro to the
external display, and vice-versa.
12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro gets its own exclusive feature on iPadOS 16
Even if you have an M1 iPad, it doesnt mean youll have all the features
available on iPadOS 16, as Apple saved one feature to the bigger iPad with
new display modes:
Reference Mode: Enables the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Liquid Retina XDR
display to deliver reference color for popular color standards and video
formats;
Reference Mode with Sidecar: Use iPad Pro as a secondary reference
display for your Mac.
2020 iPad Pro can also have its spotlight time
Only for 2020 iPad Pro users or newer, theres an exclusive accessibility
feature with Magnifier on iPadOS 16:
Detection Mode in Magnifier: Get rich descriptions of your surroundings
with a new Magnifier mode that contains Door Detection, People Detection,
and Image Descriptions;
Door Detection in Magnifier: Locate a door, read signs or labels around
it, and get instructions on how to open the door.
Last but not least, if you have an iPad Air 5with 256GB of storage or an M1
iPad Pro you can take advantage of this feature on iPadOS 16:
Virtual memory swap: iPad storage can be used to expand the available
memory for all apps and delivers up to 16 gigabytes of memory for the most
demanding apps.
Wrap up
These are the features coming to M1 iPad users on iPadOS 16. The upcoming
operating system for iPads will be available in a few months from now to all
people, but you can take advantage of the public beta now.
