iPadOS 15 Wishes
Maybe you laughed when you saw the title of this column, since after all, iPadOS 14 was just released in the last few weeks. In my defense I’ve wanted to write up an iPadOS 15 wishlist ever since the WWDC keynote ended back in June, and we knew what was and wasn’t going to be included in iPadOS 14. So I’d say four months of waiting shows fairly good restraint!
This year brought important changes to the iPad, as Federico’s annual review will explore in a matter of days, and overall I’m really pleased with things like new sidebar navigation, multi-column layouts, Pencil improvements, and more. However, as nice as these updates are, none of them addressed the biggest pain points I experience in my iPad use these days. They’re all valuable changes, and greatly appreciated, making my iPad computing better in a meaningful way. But my list of wishes for next year involves things that I think would make a significantly bigger impact, both for me and, in some cases, for a wide base of iPad users.
