With iPad, you get what you need from a computer, along with many incredible things you'd never expect from one. Here are a few reasons why your next computer just might be an iPad.
Adobe Photoshop for the iPad is here with the features you love: layers, retouching, compositing and more. Your projects are the same on your desktop or a mountaintop. The Photoshop app requires iPadOS 13.1 or later and an iPad Pro that can run it. That includes all iPad Pro models, iPad 5th generation or later, iPad mini 4th generation or later, and iPad Air 2. Photoshop CC for iPad Is Missing Keyboard Shortcuts. While we can't wait to play with Photoshop CC on a speedy iPad Pro, it's currently missing keyboard shortcuts, so that Smart Keyboard won't.
It has the power of a computer.
And the portability of iPad.
iPad features advanced, Apple‑designed chips that transform how you experience photos, gaming, and augmented reality. They also make iPad powerful enough to handle the apps you use every day, whether you're using Microsoft Office for a work assignment or Adobe Photoshop CC for a creative project.
And all that power really travels. iPad is incredibly thin and so light you can carry it with you everywhere. And it has up to 10 hours of battery life to keep you going all day.1 Stay connected on the go with fast Wi‑Fi and up to Gigabit‑class LTE.2 You can even print, project, and send files wirelessly.
It's designed so you can do everything easily with touch.
iPad does what a computer does, but in more intuitive ways. Whether you want to focus on a single app or use multiple apps at the same time, it's easy to do with a few taps. Move objects between apps simply by dragging and dropping, or switch apps with a single swipe.
It's familiar to use but makes for an entirely new experience. iPadOS is full of features designed specifically for iPad, and there are even more when you use an Apple Pencil3 or a trackpad. It's built on the same foundation as iOS, so it shares many of the same great apps and features. And just like your iPhone, using iPad is just as simple as tap, swipe, pinch, and zoom.
You can use it with a keyboard, trackpad, and Apple Pencil.
iPad works with a keyboard or trackpad when you need one. The onscreen keyboard lets you respond to an email or write a paper, and it responds to Multi‑Touch gestures. And if you want a physical keyboard or a trackpad, simply connect one. The cursor for iPadOS is designed to complement the familiar Multi‑Touch experience of iPad and transforms into the tool you need depending on the content you're pointing to, like buttons, app icons, and text.4
And with Apple Pencil, it's also your notepad, canvas, scanner, and more. Take notes with Apple Pencil. Scan a document with the built‑in camera, then mark it up and send it. And with iPadOS, your handwriting becomes as powerful as typed text. Convert your sketches into perfect shapes, turn handwritten notes into typed text, and write in any text field with Scribble.
It has the apps you expect on a computer, plus a million designed just for iPad.
iPad has great apps you'll use every day. Like Photos, Messages, Apple News, Safari, Mail, Calendar, and more. It also comes with great productivity apps like Pages and Keynote and runs familiar apps like Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop CC.
There's an app for that. Apps in the App Store are designed to take full advantage of the power and large display of iPad. And our App Store editors curate and recommend the best apps in the world to help you create, have fun, learn, and get things done. You can also use apps to transform your world with augmented reality experiences.
