iPad Adds Trackpad and Keyboard Support: What Does it Mean for Your App? | WillowTree
Summary
The iPad recently turned ten years old, but all of the users that get the latest OS update will have a new way to interact with their devices — iPadOS 13.4 includes mouse and keyboard support. Apple and third party hardware providers are producing cases with trackpads and keyboards that will give users the option to convert their iPads from a tablet to a laptop form factor. For example, users will consider checking the news or streaming videos in iPadOS apps instead of using Chrome or Safari. We expect that the users most likely to use the new U/I and invest in the hardware are “work-from-home warriors,” early adopters, Apple enthusiasts, designers, artists, and architects. For more information we recommend reviewing Apple’s iPadOS interface guidelines — the videos that show the pointer interactions and effects are particularly helpful.
