hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ipad os 16 is finally here with beta1 it's
currently available to developers it will be out to public beta testers in july according
to apple and then we'll release to everyone in the fall usually around september so apple
said it will be available in fall or autumn usually in september around the new iphone
and ios and more now in this video we're going to cover everything specific to the new ipad update
i already covered the ios update in a separate video a 36 minute video covering every single
feature so we won't talk about features that are contained on both devices so we'll talk about
just the ipad specific features now as far as supported devices if you're wondering about that
apple has dropped support for quite a few ipads so if you have an ipad 5th generator ipad mini 5th
generator ipad air 3rd gen in later and any ipad pro you'll be able to run ipad os 16. any other
devices will not be able to do that the overall beta was pretty small as far as betas go it's
2.72 gigabytes to install fully on the ipad so much smaller than previous betas so that's a good
sign but also that means we probably have less features now as far as features go we don't have
the customizable lock screen so the customizable lock screen that's on ios is not on ipad os 16
but we do have quite a few similar features there now the first thing we get is a weather app we've
had the weather widget that i have here or just the weather icon for quite some time now we have
a full weather app so as you can see here's the weather we have clouds moving in the background
and we have individual forecast sections with sections such as air quality sunset and more
and each one of these is tappable so if i tap on sunset you'll see the sunset and more information
about that if i want more information about wind you'll see what it expects for wind throughout the
day so these are updated all the time and instead of just going to weather.com we now finally have
a full weather app on ipad now something new that's pretty significant on ipad is something
apple called stage manager so if we go into the control center you'll see there's a new icon here
tap on this new icon and it turns on stage manager and what that does is instead of just having full
screen apps it allows us to multitask within the window so maybe we go to safari you'll see
we have two windows i have music behind it tap on safari and then we have safari when it's in
this windowed mode we also have these little icons in the corners meaning we can resize the windows
so if we want to resize them we can resize them just grab the little icon there and it will resize
if we go into music we can do the same thing maybe shrink it down and we can even bring in another
app tap on this app drag and hold it and then we can put it over the top of the other one and have
it at the same time up to four apps and then up to eight connected to an external monitor which
i'll show you later you can move these around as well and just put them wherever you'd like it's a
full windowing system with resizing and more you can also drag and drop between windows different
files and more so you can turn that on or off so if you just go into the control center turn it off
you go back to split view or a full size app so it's pretty simple to use again it's just an icon
in the control center if you want to go into that if you use the apple pencil to input text using
scribble apple has added emoji support now i was not able to get this to work i've tried it
multiple times but you should be able to draw an emoji try a smiley face there and in the future it
will input an emoji so that's the only significant change with the apple pencil that i was able to
find that's an update for the pencil specifically and then you should be able to draw emoji with the
pencil other than that i haven't found any other significant updates for apple pencil
i've attached the magic keyboard to show you a little more easily some of these features but
apple has a new set of features that they refer to as desktop class apps across the system across
files pages numbers and keynote now pages numbers and keynote or the iwork suite has not been
updated yet but files has been updated in many ways that are really great that we haven't seen
ever on an ipad so if we go into files the first thing you may notice is that
we actually have file extensions and let me turn off dark mode so this is a little easier to see
with less reflection and you can see we have file extensions here so finally we have the
option to view those we also have the size of folders and different items and then we can sort
these columns as well finally we have these sort options so that's something that they've updated
specifically in here and then if we click on our menus you'll see if we go to view options we have
different view options as well so that's something they've updated across the os that will also be
coming later to pages and keynote and numbers and you'll have customizable menus there as well
those can be implemented by third-party apps but that's not yet available so we have sortable
columns and files as well and then also we can change file extensions so if you want to change
the extension here we can actually rename this so we have the option to rename this document if
we right click or control click go to rename here we can actually change the end where it says png
if we try to change it to jpg for a jpeg it will ask us if we want to change it just like on a mac
so we'll keep png and then also when we select multiple documents so maybe we'll select this one
a couple different documents at once and then if we option click or right click we have a new menu
that pops up where we can control all of these items at once copy three items move three items
share three items or duplicate them so that's a slight change within files i think that's a
great update and it carries across the system as well also when we go into a document there's a new
menu in the upper left this also it carries across the os so if we click on it we have the option to
save the image export and print it just looks a little different and it's a little more consistent
across everything however with apple mentioning desktop class apps i was really hoping that they
would push this out with final cut pro and logic pro and things but they never did that within
contacts it's been updated also so if we go into contacts contacts now has the option in the bottom
left to add a list so you'll see that's a new option and then also it's found some duplicates
that's built into contacts so you can handle the duplicates just by either merging them or
deleting them altogether that's all built into context and then also you can copy and drag
a contact into mail now directly from this app now across the system there's undo and redo
so that's something we've had in many different apps but that's now built in across the system
and then also there's a find and replace that works in line now so that's been been redone
you can see that in notes within notes you'll see it's actually grouped that into today and
yesterday and previous seven days it's just a new organization and then also in notes we have the
option to find and replace easily using the menu so if we go to find in note then tap on the little
search icon here we can find and replace and it's in line now so maybe we're looking for lock screen
you'll see it shows up here and then we can just replace it all in line so that's been built in
across the system as well now there's some major updates that are specific to the ipad pro 12.9
inch or m1 ipad so there's a few different changes here so if you have a 12.9 inch mini led display
or retina xdr display go into settings under settings under display and brightness scroll down
there's now a new reference mode this allows you to have a reference mode where you can tune the
calibration of it and you can select points such as white point luminance and others so you have
this option built in it's actually a little dim right now but it won't let you turn it up or when
it's in a reference mode if we hit cancel turn the reference mode off that's so maybe you're editing
in final cut pro and you want to see it look exactly like it does on maybe a pro display xdr
it will now look correct now as far as display support this has been updated majorly
however it's only on m1 ipads so ipad air 5th gen ipad pro 12.9 inch 5th gen and ipad pro 11 inch
third gen let's plug the ipad pro into the pro display xdr we'll give it just a moment
to boot and this will take a second it turns on it recognizes it and now we have a full screen
pro display xdr with our ipad we have the dock at the bottom we can select maybe safari here
and now scroll through whatever we want to look at now it is a little bit buggy as you can see
there's a little black bar at the bottom if we shrink that down a little bit it's not as full
screen it now works properly so as we scroll through the different features of ipad os
you'll see on the left we have stage stage manager we can also turn that off if we want
and have full screen apps and we also have display scaling so if we go into settings here you'll see
settings loaded and now we have our displays so we have built-in retina display and pro display
xdr if we click on this we also have brightness options here of course and then we also have
high dynamic range standard dynamic range allow display mode changes we also have zoom options
so we can add zoomed standard or more space so that's the scaling options if we want
standard it will change and we can switch to whatever we'd like so step set it to standard
it'll say use standard and then it will change on the display and get a little bit bigger and if we
go back you'll see it's a little bit buggy from time to time so just keep in mind it's an early
beta but it does have some bugs let's unplug it and plug it back in and see if it fixes it
so we'll go back into settings here and you'll see it's back so again you've got some bugs here and
there we also have the arrangement options so if we want the ipad on the side or the top or left or
right whatever we want we can just drag this over there and it will switch so we can also mirror the
display as well so we have those reference modes and then now sort of display scaling like we had
on mac or it's not quite as advanced we'll go back to more space let it reset use more space and that
time it was much faster so we have that built in and that's pretty much what you get with the full
size displays and it's in it just crashed it is a little bit buggy and crashes from time to time
but it does seem to work and it will work on the studio display you can resize your windows here
and basically use it just like you would your ipad but now you could use this with a keyboard
and mouse or a keyboard and trackpad or just your magic keyboard like this you can use both
at once and have up to eight different apps displayed at once on your screen now within
my ios 16 video i did mention some updates to photos one thing is it will find duplicates you
can see there's a duplicates option here and also it locks the hidden and recently deleted photos
so you actually have to use face id or touch id or your passcode to get into that so that's something
that's a little bit updated and of course if you haven't heard already you can share with a family
up to five people or significant others up to five people shared photo library in icloud so that's
going to be super helpful hopefully they increase storage as well but you'll be able to share all
of your photos across your devices now there's some impressive accessibility features as well
that not only come to iphone but also ipad as well so we also have detection modes and magnifier so
if we go into the magnifier app maybe you're using magnifier you can now magnify different
things and there's different detection modes depending on the ipad you have that will give
you rich descriptions of your surroundings so it will tell you door detection people
detection and image descriptions so this is great for accessibility you also now have hover text on
ipad so if you use that on iphone you'll have that on ipad and all of the different features that i'm
going to cover in a separate accessibility options or separate accessibility video with
all the different options from watch os to ipad and iphone as well so there's a lot of changes
there but on the ipad they've added those things specifically that they haven't added on iphone
now also apple talked a lot about collaboration tools those are built into ios and ipad os and
you can easily collaborate from messages facetime and different apps so if you want to collaborate
do share play and different things throughout different apps it's very easy to do that now
and there's a new app to help you with that coming in the future called freeform so it's a freeform
board for collaboration where multiple people can collaborate at once and it sort of looks like a
notepad where everyone's drawing at the same time and it can collaborate together and you'll see the
changes in real time they've actually said this is coming later so so far we don't have it also in
the podcast app they've updated this as well for ipad where the menu or library is now customizable
so specifically it's got a new sidebar that's customizable and it's specific for ipad so you
can customize your library your podcasts you have different stations different things you can add
it doesn't all work just yet but it is built in to ipad os 16. the additional things with an ipad os
16 have to do with m1 one of them anyway and that is virtual memory swap ipad storage can be used
to expand the available memory for all apps and delivers up to 16 gigabytes of additional memory
for the most demanding apps so maybe you need additional ram on your device
that's actually built in where it will use that virtual swap space on supported devices
now apple did say that they've enhanced metal with metal three for gaming so future games should have
even more impressive graphics and changes and then privacy is a little bit updated where apps
now need your permission before accessing the pasteboard to paste content from another app
so if maybe you're copying information from one app to another app now it will actually prompt
you where it wouldn't be for and while ipad os i really expected some major changes with maybe
some app layouts and more we still have our today view or our widget view but not today necessarily
everything else is pretty much the same we will have enhanced notifications but not the
lock screen so unless they plan to bring that in the future it's a fairly minor update other than
the display scaling and windowing when we turn this on so other than that with windows where
we can resize them and use multiples at once there's not major major updates with ipad os
in fact i expected quite a bit more but it looks like they're getting this ready to maybe
have some pro apps finally that's what it looks like to me now if you're wondering if you should
try the beta well you saw some of the bugs in this beta and there's some crashes here
and there especially if you're planning to use it with an external display so i'd probably hold off
for that reason otherwise if you wanted to try it out you could but if you have a secondary device
then i tried on that i would not use it on a main production device performance seems to be about
the same so far and maybe it will fix battery life but i'm not really counting on that as this is
an early beta and typically betas are quite buggy early on now if you're wondering when beta 2 will
come out usually it's within two to three weeks then beta 3 between beta 2 and beta 3 is typically
when we'll see the public beta release as well so i'll let you know as soon as i know about that
and of course if you've installed this or you're curious about a different feature i'd love to
hear from you in the comments below i'll leave a link to the wallpaper in the description like
i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed
