APPLE HAS FINALLY taken some decisive steps. A few days ago, it had released the beta version of a feature-packed operating system (OS) for its iPads and currently allows all to install the prerelease software for a taste of things to come. The company has also come up with the iOS 13 public beta for iPhones, but the OS for tabs - officially called iPadOS 13 - has our attention for several reasons. Apple's iPad is an incredible piece of hardware, packing in great display, powerful chip, long battery life and several productivity apps. It does exceptionally well in areas such as content creation and consumption, and the productivity factor has not been neglected either. In fact, with the addition of a detachable keyboard and stylus support, it joined the league of workhorses. But the lack of a dedicated OS held it back. Moreover, some experts observed that Apple was unsure whether to treat the iPad as a giant phone or a touch-screen Mac. Now that the latest upgrade is here, all performance issues will be taken care of and the iPad may soon evolve into a premium primary device.
