Your First iPad

So long iOS! Hello iPadOS! Now how do you use it?!


There's a new operating system in town and it's turning heads. I'm, of course, talking about iPadOS. It's Apple's latest way of bringing Mac and iPad closer together.

If you've used an iPad before, then the OS will be familiar to you, but there's a number of new things you should know about.

If you've never used an iPad, then this book will help you navigate around the device in a way that's easy to understand and not so comprehensive that you feel overwhelmed.

Some of the many topics covered include:



What's new in iPadOS 13 Cosmetics of an iPad Multitasking Gestures that you should know Using Sidecar Using split screen Buying, updating, and removing apps Apple Services (Apple Music, iCloud, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple Card) Family sharing Using Siri Taking, editing, organizing and sharing photos Using pre-installed apps like Reminders, Maps, Notes, Calendar And much, much more!

This book is based off of the iPad 10.2 (the one with a Home button--not the Pro models that have abandoned buttons); that doesn't mean it's not useful if your iPad doesn't have one, but some features will work slightly differently.
