Since Apple launched the tablet iPad, its software performance has always lagged behind the hardware, and it is even difficult for ipados to give full play to the full potential of M1 chip. To this end, mark gurman, a senior Apple reporter, suggested that Apple should launch the Pro Model for the iPad to support more powerful functions < p > when Apple released its first iPad in 2010, the device lacked multitasking, application folders, background audio playback and a unified email inbox. Although these omissions were quickly corrected, and today's iPad has almost all the functions expected of the computer, it does reflect the persistent software problems of the device < p > at present, the hardware performance of iPad Pro is still far ahead of that of iPad OS. The device is now equipped with an M1 chip, a processor that powers a 13 inch macbook pro or a 24 inch IMAC. It is much more powerful than the functions required to run the iPad OS, which is basically still an enlarged and adjusted version of IOS < p > so why is it so important to solve this imbalance between iPad software and hardware? Because of software defects, it is more difficult for apple to develop an iPad that can attract all consumers < p > there are many professional users who want to make the most of the iPad. They want to develop applications, operate powerful spreadsheets or run slack, twitter, messages, 35 Safari tags and Photoshop at the same time. They hope this device will replace their laptops < p > but other users may just want to browse Facebook, occasionally send email, enjoy Netflix programs and play games. They also want the iPad to replace the way they use laptops < p > this means that this device needs to be strong enough to meet the needs of 20% of professional users, but also simple enough to satisfy the other 80% of users. To a large extent, apple mainly achieves this goal through iPad hardware, not software < p > today, Apple has four flagship iPads, including an entry-level iPad priced at $329, an ipad Mini, an iPad air and an iPad pro. They all have different functions. For example, the iPad Pro has larger storage space, promotion screen and better camera. The ipad Mini has a small screen that fits easily into your pocket < p > but all these iPads run the same version of the operating system ipados, as well as the same third-party applications and the same Apple software. However, in order to keep the iPad simple and make it more useful to professional users, Apple needs a new approach < ADP > three popular modes of iPad Pro should be introduced, and the touch mode of iPad Pro should be preferred at present < p > 2) when users connect to Apple pencil and try to optimize icons, controls and user interface elements, the new option mode will start < p > 3) when the iPad is connected to the keyboard and touch pad (such as Apple's own magic keyboard or external display), it will start the new "pro" mode < p > but iPad Pro also has its own disadvantages: MacOS is more advanced than iPad OS. Gulman believes that Apple will not transplant MacOS to iPad pro in the end, but creating a new pro mode is a good compromise. So, what should this model do < p > 1) similar to the multitasking function of MAC, or support running multiple windows at the same time < p > 2) more dynamic dock, where users can lock files and minimize applications, and should also be able to press and hold the icon for a few seconds to quickly browse information < p > 3) better desktop design allows users to place folders, Web links and more content next to applications. It would be better to see more dynamic widgets and let people use them as mini applications rather than just information screens < p > 4) Mini app, so that users can use calculators, music apps, Apple TV remote control and notes without having to open new apps and disrupt the workflow < p > for the vast majority of users who want to get rid of the complexity of MAC or PC, these functions may be too complex, but they are essential for many users. Gulman believes that the next major upgrade of the iPad may be equipped with a larger display, but he can't see how Apple can make such a leap without ensuring the perfect matching of software and hardware < p > the good news is that Apple's 2022 WWDC is less than two months away. It is expected that the company will launch a new application switching interface for iPad. (small) < / P > < p >
