iPadOS 17 preview: A personalised and functional update

“What’s a computer?,” asked a kid in about a about half a decade-old ad for the iPad Pro. The ad so old that the iPad was running iOS. Since then, iOS, oops, sorry, iPadOS, has evolved significantly, not to brag, but leaps ahead of how Android is on tablets. Later this year, iPads are set to get another new update – iPadOS 17, which tries to solve one of the pain points users have had – multitasking – bringing it closest ever to a computer or a Mac, with a pinch of subtle yet meaningful changes that bridges the gap between an iPad and iPhone.
