iPadOS 18 stands out with new artificial intelligence features
Similar to iOS 18 in almost every aspect, iPadOS 18 comes with the latest artificial intelligence features. Notable innovations like advanced Siri usage, AI-supported writing capability, and content summaries are expected to greatly satisfy iPad users.
Presented as a version where almost all the features found in iOS 18 are adapted for larger screens, iPadOS 18 also comes with unique features. The long-awaited calculator is finally available. Additionally, improvements to Notes, Voice Memos, and more are among the innovations that come with the new version.

With the new iPadOS 18 update, improvements in animations and applications have been made to provide a smoother usage and experience. Thanks to the SharePlay feature, remote control over the iPad will be possible, allowing interaction with drawings.
With the Smart Script feature, any text you copy can now replicate the handwritten style you write with an Apple Pencil on the Notes app. The newly added Calculator on iPads includes Apple Pencil support and math solutions.
