The biggest Apple announcements of 2019 so far

Ever since the very first iPad, Apple's tablets have had to obey the rules of the iPhone's operating system, despite the two devices serving very different needs.

At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, though, the company finally emancipated the iPad from the rules of the iPhone. From now on, the iPad will run on its own operating system, called iPadOS.

The first iPadOS will behave similarly to iOS 13, which is the new operating system coming to iPhones later this year. But even the first iteration of iPadOS looks promising: It will finally have native support for USB accessories, including storage devices and SD cards, and it will also offer a full desktop browser experience, and even mouse support! Apple has also been working hard to make the Files system better on the iPad, so it will be easy to browse and collaborate on documents even if they're on a work server. The future looks very bright for the iPad, and the announcement of iPadOS made it all possible.
