Apple now recognizes the iPad as its own platform by spinning off iOS into its own iPad-specific system. This new platform makes iPad use much more user friendly and gives it access to a lot more bells and whistles.
For example, app switching on Slide Over mode can be accessed by just dragging up and to the side or easily split screen by dragging apps side by side. You can split screen using the same app, such as viewing two notes at once or two emails at once to reference each other.
File view also looks a bit more like it does on macOS, with ways to browse through column view and share folders on iCloud.
iPads will also now support USB thumb drives or camera imports from USB cables directly between the two devices.
There’s are some new text editing gestures, too, such as a three-finger pinch / spread to copy, cut, and paste or a three-finger swipe left and right to undo and redo.
