Apple has launched a new iPad Pro model with a LiDAR scanner, and it also brings support for a trackpad to iPadOS for the first time ever. Apple says its new iPad Pro is “more powerful than most Windows PC laptops”. The Cupertino-based company says it has completely reimagined trackpad support for iPad, a feature that will be available with iPadOS 13.4. The new iPad Pro model comes with a Liquid Retina display and is powered by the company’s A12Z Bionic chipset. Apple’s iPad Pro 2020 model will be available in 11-inch and 12.9-inch display sizes.
The new iPad Pro model comes with a new Magic Keyboard that can elevate the iPad to offer a more laptop-like working experience. The new laptop features a trackpad, a first for any iPad keyboard. In its official statement, Apple said, “As users move their finger across the trackpad, the pointer elegantly transforms to highlight user interface elements.” However, the new Magic Keyword will not ship until May this year.
Apple will release iPadOS 13.4 on March 24. The trackpad support feature will work on all-new iPad Pro models, iPad Air 2, iPad fifth-generation, and the iPad mini 4.
