Disclaimer: This article refers to features and updates for iPads. Originally, the operating system for iPads was named iOS until Apple decided to split the OS into iPadOS and iOS starting with iPadOS 13, to better cater to the specific needs of iPad and iPhone users respectively. In order to not create further confusion, we will stick with the iPadOS name even when referring to versions before iPadOS 13.
