Software, not hardware, is what the iPad needs an upgrade in more than ever
Summary
But where the iPad falters is the iPadOS software, which continues to be severely limited in making the tablet more adaptable for work tasks, for which users opt for a Windows PC or a Mac. The argument is that if Apple adds macOS to the iPad, it would make the tablet just like the Mac doesn’t hold water. If the iPad is shared among users, it will only expand the usage of the tablet and eventually also drive subscriptions to Apple services through higher tiers. But that doesn’t take away the fact that FCP is a functional editor on the iPad but not a complete studio from shoot to publish, as Apple likes to market. All eyes are on Apple’s WWDC event in early June, where it announces iPadOS 18—the next version of the operating system that powers the iPad.
