iPadOS 16 brings several new features, especially for iPad M1 users. If you want to know how to take full advantage of the upcoming operating system and whether to upgrade to the M1 iPad Air or M1 iPad Pro, here are their exclusive features in iPadOS 16.
Stage Manager as the star of iPadOS 16 and M1 iPad users
Stage Manager will be available exclusively for M1 iPad Air and M1 iPad Pro. Here’s what you can do with this iPadOS 16 feature:
Resizable windows: resize windows to make them perfect for your task; Central App: Focus on the app you’re working on without having to go full screen; Quick access to windows and applications: the windows of the applications you are working in are displayed prominently in the center, and other applications are located on the left in the order of recent use; Overlapping windows: create overlapping windows of different sizes in one view, giving you the ability to organize the perfect workspace; Group apps together: drag windows to the side or open apps from the Dock to create sets of apps you can always return to.
External display support for iPad M1 users with iPadOS 16
Another important feature available to iPad M1 users with iPadOS 16 is the ability to have proper external display support.
As Apple explains, full external display support is provided by the iPad Pro with the M1 chip at up to 6K resolution, which means you can run a variety of apps on the iPad and the external display. By running iPadOS 16, you can also:
Access apps on an external display: Access your favorite apps and themes you’ve recently used from the Dock, or use the App Library to find the app you need faster; Drag and drop between iPad and external display: iPad M1 users running iPadOS 16 can drag files and windows from their iPad Pro to the external display and vice versa.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro M1 gets its own exclusive feature in iPadOS 16
Even if you have an iPad M1, that doesn’t mean you’ll have all the features available in iPadOS 16, as Apple has kept one feature for the larger iPad with new display modes:
Reference Mode: Allows the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display to display a reference color for popular color standards and video formats; Reference Mode with Sidecar: Use iPad Pro as an additional reference display for your Mac.
The 2020 iPad Pro and iPad Air 4 could also be in the spotlight
Exclusive to iPad Pro 2020 or newer users, use the exclusive Magnifier Accessibility feature in iPadOS 16:
Magnifier Detection Mode: Get a detailed description of your surroundings with the new Magnifier Mode, which includes door detection, people detection, and image descriptions; Magnifying glass door detection: find the door, read the signs or labels around it and get instructions on how to open the door.
Last but not least, if you have an iPad Air 4 with 256GB of storage or an iPad Pro M1, you can take advantage of this feature in iPadOS 16:
Virtual Memory Sharing: iPad storage can be used to expand the available memory for all apps and provides up to 16 gigabytes of storage for the most resource intensive apps.
Conclusion
These are features coming to iPad M1 users with iPadOS 16, the upcoming operating system for iPad, which will be available next month as a public beta. An official release is expected this fall.
