Do you have an iPad without an M1 chip? iPadOS 16 has these features for you

Much has been said about the features of iPadOS 16, which will appear exclusively for the iPad with M1 processor. Yes, they are great and very attractive for an apple tablet. However, we haven’t forgotten that most iPad owners don’t have an M1 model. So what features will your device get this fall?

Forgetting the flagship features of iPadOS 16 exclusive to the M1, what exactly is left for the rest of the lineup? Yes, there are more, but maybe they are not the ones you expected the most.

In an unexpected move – and, of course, criticism – Apple launches iPad without M1 chip. Justified? To be honest, we think so. After all, a gradual transition isn’t possible unless you’re willing to wait another 10 years to see significant changes on the iPad. Apple is known for keeping its devices up to date until they fail, so they must have had good reason to drop the rest of the models when it comes to major software updates.

Here are the features coming to your iPad with iPadOS 16.

Apps we missed. That’s right, iPadOS 16 includes some stellar community requests. Among them is the native Weather and Calculator app for the iPad. So far, there have been no official releases from Apple designed specifically for iPadOS, it only took 16 versions of its operating system to finally release them.

iMessage improvements. Just like in iOS 16, iMessage will get some minor changes in iPadOS 16. For example, now you can edit and undo messages. This feature is increasingly seen among instant messaging apps, so it was only a matter of time before it was implemented into their Apple apps.

Improvements to the Files app. With every iOS and iPadOS update, the Files app gets a makeover with tons of new features. This case was no exception, and now we will have the opportunity to change the extension of your saved data. They’ve also improved the Save & Open panel so you can save related files and rename folders in a linear fashion; so you can better organize your documents.

More changes in iPadOS 16. That’s not all. You will also see some additional features such as the iCloud Photo Sharing Library. Live text is also delivered to the system so you can see subtitles for any content in real time. In addition, Handoff integrates with FaceTime, and Focus Mode boosts its performance with more features.
