      Exploring Apple iPad - iPadOS 16 Edition - Kevin Wilson

      Introducing iPad

      The iPad is a tablet computer developed by Apple, and was originally released in 2010.

      Up until 2019, the iPad used the same operating system as the iPhone (iOS), but as iPads continued to develop and evolve, they received more and more features not available on the iPhone. Because of this, iPads now have their own operating system called iPadOS.

      The user interface is a touch screen, meaning you can manipulate sliders, switches, buttons and icons on screen using your finger.

      The main screen is called the home screen and contains icons that represent apps. You can download countless apps from the App Store - you’ll find an app for almost anything you can think of.

      In this chapter, we’ll take a look at

      What’s New in iPadOS 16

      Available iPad Models

      A Series Chip

      M Series Chip

      A few Technical Terms

      Liquid Retina Displays

      Let’s begin by taking a look at the new features of iPadOS 16.

      What’s New in iPadOS 16?

      iPadOS 16 introduces some new features that improve multitasking, desktop class apps, new collaboration tools, and various others.

      Stage Manager is a new multitasking feature that automatically organizes apps and windows by listing thumbnail previews down the left hand side of the screen making it easy to switch between tasks.

      This allows you to resize windows, stack your windows side by side or overlapping.

      If you’re using an iPad with an M1 chip, you can plug your iPad into an external display so that you can effectively have two screens.

      iPadOS 16 brings desktop class apps to the iPad. This introduces new capabilities available on a Mac that are optimized for the iPad’s touch-screen display - such as customizable toolbars, context menus, drag ‘n’ drop, and multitasking features.

      Freeform is a new app designed for diagramming, brainstorming and collaboration with full support for Apple pencil. You can also add images, documents, video, and web links.

      The weather and clock apps finally make it to the iPad. Here we can see the apps running side by side.

      Passkeys are designed to replace passwords and rely on biometric identification on your iPad such as Touch ID and Face ID. These are synced to your iCloud’s Keychain. Passkeys use a unique cryptographic key pair for each website or account, eliminating the need to remember or type in passwords.

      In the Mail and Messages Apps you can undo a message you’ve just sent. You can also schedule messages to be sent at a specific time.

      Collaboration tools have been integrated into Messages & FaceTime, so that you can work together using apps such as Pages, Keynote, Notes, Reminders, and Safari, as well as any compatible third-party apps.

      A Series Chip

      The Apple A series is a series of microprocessors known as a system on a chip (SoC) used to power iPhones and iPads. The A series chips combine the CPU, Graphics Processor (or GPU), memory (or RAM), flash storage, and a neural engine which is a component designed to use machine learning and artificial intelligence for tasks such identifying objects in photos, or applying an automatic filter to a picture, analysing videos, voice recognition, and so on.

      M Series Chip

      This chip powers the high end iPad Pros and is the same chip found on the Apple Silicon Macs. The M series chip combines the CPU, Graphics Processor (or GPU), memory (or RAM), SSD drive controller, and a neural engine which is a component designed to use machine learning and artificial intelligence for tasks such identifying objects in photos, or applying an automatic filter to a picture, analysing videos, voice recognition, and so on.

      Liquid Retina Displays

      A Retina Display is a screen with a high pixel density - meaning there are a lot more pixels per inch than a standard computer screen. This generates a high resolution, crystal clear image. A Liquid Retina Display uses Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology to display the image.

      Liquid Retina XDR display is lit by multiple mini-LEDs, and supports resolutions of 2732x2048 pixels for a total of 5.6 million pixels with 264 pixels per inch, and delivers P3 wide colour giving richer and more vibrant colours.

      ProMotion technology automatically adjusts the display refresh rate up to 120 Hz (twice the rate of typical LCD displays) to the optimal rate for the content.

      High Dynamic Range (HDR) delivers detail in extremely bright parts of the image along with the subtle details in the darkest parts of the image.

      True Tone uses multiple sensors to adjust the colour temperature of the display on your iPad depending on the ambient light, to make the display look more natural.

      A nit is measurement of the brightness of light. Computer monitors usually range from 200 - 600 nits. Higher nits allow you to brighten the display so you can see the screen clearly on a sunny day.

      Setting up Your iPad

      If you’ve just bought your new iPad and taken it out the box, the process to set it up to use for the first time is very simple. You don’t even have to connect it to your computer.

      In this chapter, we’ll take a look at

      Family Sharing & Screen Time

      Take a look at the video resources, open your web browser and navigate to the following website.

      elluminetpress.com/using-ipad

      Power Up

      To power on your iPad, press and hold the power button on the top right of the device for a couple of seconds until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

      Once your iPad powers up, you’ll land on the lock screen.

      If you have a new iPad, you’ll need to run through the initial setup.

      Charging your iPad’s Battery

      Plug your iPad directly into the charger to charge the battery. Plug one end of the lightning or USB-C cable into the charger.

      Plug the other end of the lightning or USB-C cable into the port on the bottom of your iPad.

      Your battery will take a few hours to charge. Best practice is not to let your battery deplete completely, charge it up when you still have about 20% charge left.

      Unlock & Wake iPad

      The home button also contains a finger print scanner and is usually configured during the initial setup.

      On the iPads with a home button, place your finger on the home button so your thumb fits snugly into the button’s indent, then press the button once to unlock your iPad - don’t hold the button down.

      On the other models, press the power button on the top - allow the finger print scanner to identify your fingerprint.

      On the iPads Pros, press the power button on the top right of the device, then swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen when prompted.

      Initial Setup

      To use iPad, you need an internet connection and your Apple ID. There is an automated setup feature that allows you to transfer settings from another device, such as an iPhone or an iPad. The other device must be running iOS 11 or later, or iPadOS 13 or later. If not, you can still set up your iPad manually. First lets take a look at the auto setup feature.

      Auto Setup

      Turn on your iPad. On the welcome screen, slide your finger across the screen, or press the home button to start.

      Select your language and country/region.

      When you land on this screen, place your old iPad or iPhone next to your new iPad.

      Unlock your old iPad or iPhone. You’ll get a prompt on your old device, tap ‘continue’.

      Now, you’ll see a strange looking pattern appear on your new iPad’s screen. Holding your old iPhone/iPad, position the pattern in the circle on your old device as shown below.

      Keep your old iPad/iPhone next to your new one until the setup is complete.

      Enter the passcode from your old iPad/iPhone, into your new iPad.

      Set up Touch ID, sign in with your Apple ID when prompted.

      Tap ‘continue’ on the ‘go home’ screen, ‘quick access to the dock’ screen, ‘switch between apps’ screen, and the ‘quickly access controls’ screen.

      Manual Setup

      Turn on your iPad, then from the welcome screen, swipe your finger across the bottom of the screen, or press the home button.

      Select your language and country/region.

      Select ‘set up manually’ on the bottom of the screen.

      Select your WiFi network and enter your WiFi password when prompted.

      Tap ‘continue’ on the data privacy screen.

      Tap ‘continue’ to set up Touch ID.

      Now you need to scan your finger print. Scan the finger you are most likely to use to press the home button with. In most cases this is your thumb, so it makes sense to scan this finger. If you’re using a new iPad air, the finger print scanner is on the top button - so use your right index finger. Follow the instructions on the screen.

      You’ll need to scan your finger a few times, so the system can account for different variations as you wont always put your thumb on the home button in exactly the same position every time. Do what it says on the screen. When you’re done, tap ‘next’ on the top right.

      Check out the Touch ID demo in the ‘using iPad’ section of the video resources on how to scan your fingerprint. Scan the code with your iPad or go to the following website.

      elluminetpress.com/using-ipad

      Enter a 6 digit passcode. This code is used to unlock your iPad if Touch ID isn’t available.

      Tap ‘restore from iCloud backup’. This will ensure all your settings, messages, contacts, apps, photos, music, and email are restored.

      If you are setting up from scratch or are a new user, tap ‘don’t transfer apps & data’.

      Sign in with your Apple ID email address and password. Tap ‘next’ on the top right..

      Choose a backup if prompted. Choose the latest one on the list.

      Tap ‘enable location services’. This allows your iPad to work out your physical location so you can get local information, weather, and map directions.
