The good news for everyone else, though, is that the iPad is one step closer to functioning as a serious computer while retaining everything we love about the tablet.In iPadOS 14, mouse support is an accessibility feature that allows you to connect and use a Bluetooth mouse with your iPad. So for folks who word process on their iPad, or who edit images and video on their iPad, or who write code on their iPad, the cursor is going to be a nice addition to their workflow – especially if they pick up Apple’s upcoming Magic Keyboard + Trackpad (available in May 2020). It all feels very tactile, and the contextual clues really help to keep things simple. And when it hovers over a button, it disappears entirely and the button itself enlarges slightly, to show that it’s about to be selected. When you’re resizing text boxes in Pages, it changes to a pair of arrows. But when you hover over text, it becomes a caret (a text cursor). This cursor is different from a traditional desktop cursor because it dynamically changes depending on the action it’s about to perform. So Apple’s brought a new kind of interaction to iPadOS.
The touch screen is great, but it can be imprecise – selecting text or making careful edits to images can be difficult when using an index finger. The new iPad cursor answers a call from people who use the portable (but powerful) iPad Pro as their main computer.
