This year, Apple has decided to separate iPhone and iPad in terms of OS. Now, iPads will no longer be getting iOS, but instead they have the newly minted iPadOS (check out our comprehensive guide on what iPadOS contains). Some highlights include: Dark Mode, multiple apps in Slide Over view, apps in multiple spaces, a new home screen, new gestures for text editing, new keyboard features including Quick Path swipe typing, custom fonts, a redesigned Files app with shared folder capabilities, and much more.
