iPadOS review: Like a laptop OS, almost

Over the years, iOS has been the common operating system for iPhones as well as iPads. Then Apple finally changed this in June announcing an OS developed specially for its tablets at its developers’ conference.

Finally released on September 24, the new OS aims to bring Apple tablets closer to laptops in terms of productivity. Interestingly, the first version of iPad OS is called iPadOS 13.1, with the company choosing not to release iOS 13 version for iPads. This version is available on all eligible devices (iPad Air 2 and later) as over-the-air update.
