Apple iPad pro m2 new update
There are a handful of updates for the Ipad Pro M2, but here we will be covering just one: updating its storage capability. The existing 2GB model is still usable as-is after all. However, 1TB will launch in September 2015 and will support twice that amount of internal space, which can bring about speed increases. (The 256GB version of the tablet has already hit the 1TB mark, so it would take a while to go double.) Also, there’s some minor software optimization and app enhancements. We’ll cover these next.
iOS 15: New widgets
iOS 15 adds new widget options with iOS 15 beta 4.0 and later. This means you can now use any of your Apple Watches or Ipods, like an Evernote notebook, to turn on notifications when they’re near you. It also gives users more control over their listening devices: you can have different versions of Siri on separate screens or switch off everything except for certain apps. Finally, if you don’t want Siri able to automatically play music from Apple Music at startup, open up Control Center and toggle the option. Here’s how to do this:
Go to Settings and then General > Notifications & Notifications Select Turn On Now. That should make sure every notification is turned off, including new messages. You can then tap Edit Notification Settings > Create Widget From… to choose and add a new widget for each device. Once finished, head back into Settings. If you need something custom added, you can click App Store > iTunes & Mac > Create New Shortcut To > Choose Custom App For. (Note: This feature allows you to create shortcuts for specific applications, rather than individual files.)
Apple Watch
Apple’s first ever smartwatch is getting some major iOS updates: a redesigned home screen; better integration with third-party services; and, yes, even support for TouchID and Face ID. Just launch on iOS 15, find the watch, and swipe down to see what’s available. Of course, select Home and Apple Watch, swipe left on either side to reveal features, and scroll through to check off whatever you don’t see yet. Tap to add a new widget, and it will appear in Notification Centre for you. Click Done, and you’re done!
iPadOS 13
iPadOS 11 finally supports styluses, too, thanks to a new update. These aren’t exactly “stylus” per se, though: they’re physical touchscreens that allow you to sketch things out, add annotations, etc. As long as you haven’t created anything yet, you can tap the screen to start working on a project. While you can still view drawings by turning them into vector or 3D views, the old drawing tools have been replaced with two quick edits: adjust the angle of tilt and change color. And here’s what to expect once you’ve tapped away:
Tap the pencil icon on the bottom right: this will let you edit your work immediately without resizing. Note: it’s usually easier to drag around and move the pen up and down when editing (as seen in above screenshot). Tap the square icon again to quickly undo a gesture, similar to controlling a mouse. Hit the green circle icon to exit the editing session, but before moving on to adding text, the three dots next to it will do that.
Finally, iPadOS 13 introduces Smart Accessibility Options that allows for different layouts based on age, visual disability, and physical limitations. Here’s what to expect:
Tap the button below your keyboard to access accessibility features. Depending on the setting, it may give you some special effects and help you navigate the touchscreen if something is wrong. For example, tapping it will highlight key information related to user experience. Then tap Back to hide the buttons until you tap the Back Again button to get to the starting point.
Apple Pencil
The iPencil is now part of macOS 10.7 beta 5, and while you won’t actually get to put ink to paper by using it, this is how far Apple is taking the current trend toward digital pens: now you can attach to a trackpad and draw directly via the Pencil without touching your hands. The magic happens when you hold the cursor over a blank page — the pencil slides across the page, allowing you to sketch or draw while keeping a constant hand grip on the computer. Here’s how to set that up:
Open Terminal or Command Prompt Start_Up System Preferences Open Trackpad (if needed) Enable Smart Tracking Connectivity Plug (if necessary) Your Apple Pencil Trackpad (if not already connected to a trackpad). Make sure the Mouse Connected and Wireless ports to USB-C are enabled. Double-click the iPhone 8 Plus/8 Plus Max/iPhone X – White on the right side of the dock or Dock, so the white line becomes gray. In Windows, press Win + R for shortcut keys F2 for Quick Access or Alt + Spacebar for All Apps Go to Devices, scroll all the way down to Display & Brightness > Advanced > Show Advanced Controls. Scroll down to Motion and select the motion indicator and activate Smart Tracking Connectivity. Make sure Bluetooth is selected Next, select the “Show Paper Pen” setting. A list of paper pens will pop up. Press OK. Use the black pen icon on your keyboard to begin writing. Using the black pen as a trackpad when recording video allows us to keep filming or drawing on the same spot on the ground. When you stop recording, simply remove the paper pen from the stand or desk lamp, and continue the process using a regular light pen or finger.
Now that you can sketch out things with no fingers, take note of the ones you can type. They may seem trivial, but think about the number of times you could have typed a sentence or word a few years ago and not know the difference.
iPadOS 16
Apple’s last major upgrade to iPadOS is launching August 26, 2016. Unlike previous iPhones, there are no additional cameras or lenses built into the tablet. Instead, the camera is located within the display itself. The display’s dual camera system uses both autofocus and depth of field sensors, much like that of a smartphone. But instead of being tethered up to its body with cables and chargers, it’s placed inside the palm rest of its case. And it looks great: it resembles nothing you’d see on an Android device: flat without edges, smooth, crisp, bright, dark, and everything between.
When Apple announced the changes, it gave very little hint that it was planning to ditch the microSD card slot that came standard with most iPads and replace that with a larger MicroSD card slot that delivers faster download speeds and larger capacity than the original slot (as well as other useful features): the maximum number of photos stored on an SD card can be increased from 64GB to 128GB.
This will make the iPad Mini the thinnest and smallest device it belongs to. It’s going to be $750 right now.
