      About the Author

      With over 15 years’ experience in the computer industry, Kevin Wilson has made a career out of technology and showing others how to use it. After earning a master’s degree in computer science, software engineering, and multimedia systems, Kevin has held various positions in the IT industry including graphic & web design, building & managing corporate networks, training, and IT support.

      He currently serves as Elluminet Press LTD’s senior writer and director, he periodically teaches computer science at college in South Africa and serves as an IT trainer in England. His books have become a valuable resource among the students in England, South Africa and our partners in the United States.

      Kevin’s motto is clear: If you can’t explain something simply, then you haven’t understood it well enough. To that end, he has created the Computer Fundamentals Series, in which he breaks down complex technological subjects into smaller, easy-to-follow steps that students and ordinary computer users can put into practice.

      iPads

      As iPads have continued to develop and evolve, they have received more and more features not available on iPhones. Because of this, iPads now have their own operating system called iPadOS.

      So what’s an Operating System? An Operating System is a program that manages the device’s hardware resources such as memory, processor and storage. The Operating System also provides a platform for you to run apps such as web browsers, maps, email, photos, games and so on.

      The iPad user interface is a touch screen, meaning you can directly manipulate sliders, switches, buttons and icons on screen using your finger.

      iPad has a main screen called the home screen containing icons that represent apps. You can download countless apps from the App Store - you’ll find an app for almost anything you can think of.

      Security has improved on these devices, you can unlock just with a finger print - no need to keep remembering a PIN.

      Finally there’s Siri, the voice activated personal assistant that uses natural language AI to interpret voice commands you speak out loud. You can ask Siri to send messages, dial a number, as well as search the web, and answer certain questions.

      What’s New?

      With iPadOS 14, widgets on the home screen have been tweaked. They appear down the left hand side of your screen when in landscape mode.

      Scribble is a new feature that lets you use Apple Pencil to handwrite in any text field. The handwritten text is converted to typed text.

      You can also use scribble with the notes app. You can copy handwritten notes and paste them as typed text. Shape recognition lets you convert drawn shapes into perfect shapes, as well as data detectors that work with handwritten text.

      Siri no longer takes over the entire display when you use it. Instead she shows up as a small icon at the bottom of the screen with results returned in a banner style notification.

      Safari now generates Website Privacy Reports, monitors your saved passwords and warns you of passwords that may have been involved in a data breach, as well as web page translation into English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese

      Sidebars have been redesigned, as well as new pull-down menus in built-in apps. Streamlined toolbars let apps consolidate buttons and menus into a single bar across the top of the screen as in the Calendar and Files app.

      Spotlight search is more compact and there have been some refinements that give you instant search suggestions. You’ll also see web searches and in-app searches.

      An emoji popover option allows you to quickly enter an emoji when using a hardware keyboard with your iPad.

      In this edition of iPadOS, Apple introduce the App Clip. An app clip is a lightweight version of an app that lets you perform everyday tasks quickly, without downloading and installing an app. More suited to the iPhone but available on the iPad. You can launch an app clip by scanning an NFC tag or a QR/visual code, you can launch one from location-based Siri Suggestions, or on the Maps app, as well as participating websites, and the Messages app.

      Available iPads

      At the time of writing, there are currently five different types available: iPad Mini 7.9, iPad 10.2, iPad Air 10.5, new iPad Air 10.9, and the iPad Pro Series.
