If iPadOS 15 was to be a full reboot of the OS and not just an obvious extension of iPhoneOS, it could be a platform that would truly flourish. We currently have an engine of a Reliant Robin inside a Ferrari - the iPad is capable of so much, but the operating system hinders the whole product line. While mouse support arrived last year, it was hoped that external-display support would arrive with the new M1 iPad Pro, especially as its USB 4 port can easily mirror a 4K display. While the operating system was renamed to iPadOS in 2019, there’s still a lingering feeling that Apple isn’t sure what to do with the platform. But even now, multitasking is something that’s not easy to find and use, while the Files app is lacking certain features, some as obvious as a progress bar when you’re copying files to a different folder. It wasn’t until iOS 11 in 2017 that the iPad got its own dock, alongside a drag-and-drop feature. The iPad’s operating system has been on a tick-tock cycle - one year there’s a plenitude of features, but another year there may be a trickle of features and bug fixes.
