Apple released a dedicated Operating System for iPads; iPad OS. The iPad OS is similar to iOS 13, packed with some unique features for iPad users. The slide over split view, file drag and drop, pinned widgets, etc. are the features exclusive in new iPad OS. This new iPad OS is going to support iPad Mini 4 and up models. iPad Air 2 and above models are also compatible with iPad OS. This time, iPad Mini 3& 2 owners are not lucky enough to experience new iPad OS features.
This time, Apple decides to dedicate an independent operating system for iPad users to give more attention and unique features.
