Apple iPad models compatible with iPadOS 14

There were already a lot of leaks and rumors about iOS 14 in the run-up to yesterday's presentation. As always, there was less information for iPadOS. But that's not bad, since a lot of iOS appears in iPadOS anyway. However, we had to wait for the information about which iPads will be compatible with iPadOS 14. Now Apple has published the official list on its website:

• iPad Pro 12,9 inch (4th gen)
• iPad Pro 12,9 inch (3rd gen)
• iPad Pro 12,9 inch (2rd gen)
• iPad Pro 12,9 inch (1rd gen)
• iPad Pro 11 inch (2rd gen)
• iPad Pro 11 inch (1rd gen)
• iPad Pro 10,5 inches
• iPad Pro 9,7 inches
• iPad (7th gen)
• iPad (6th gen)
• iPad (5th gen)
• iPad mini (5th gen)
• iPad mini 4
• iPad Air (3rd gen)

New features for iPad models with iPadOS 14

The new operating system for Apple tablets will be rolled out from autumn 2020; As you can see from the list above, the same models are provided that are already used works with iPadOS from 2019 to have. In addition to the functions and innovations that I have already brought together for you in the articles on iOS 14 and the WWDC20 Keynote linked above, the following is also coming to the iPad (complete overview at Apple):

• Sidebars for photos, notes, files, calendars and other apps to make navigation and organization easier
• Drop-down menus make using the app as easy as under macOS
• New search function with more scope so that it can rival Spotlight on the Apple Mac
• Scribble ensures better handwriting recognition; Handwritten entries with the Apple Pencil are also recognized in text fields, search fields and so on
• There is shape recognition in the notes; simply draw a shape (circle, star, etc.) and continue to press the display with the Apple Pencil - it becomes a geometric shape
• Better augmented reality through ARKit 4
• Siri comes with a new look, new knowledge and new functions; instead of full-screen use, Siri now appears at the bottom right so that you can still see the information on the display
• And much more that I have already shown you elsewhere
