Augmented Reality That’s Even More Realistic

AR has proven to be an immensely powerful technology that helps accomplish tasks in ways never before possible. ARKit 4 delivers a brand new Depth API that allows developers to access even more precise depth information captured by the new LiDAR Scanner on iPad Pro. Developers can use the Depth API to drive powerful new features in their apps, like taking body measurements for more accurate virtual try-on, or testing how paint colors will look before painting a room. ARKit 4 also introduces Location Anchors for iOS and iPadOS apps, which leverage the higher resolution data of the new map in Apple Maps, where available, to pin AR experiences to a specific point in the world.1

iPadOS 14 features will be available later this year as a free software update for iPad Air 2 and later, all iPad Pro models, iPad 5th generation and later, and iPad mini 4 and later.

Enhanced App Experience with New Compact Design, Universal Search, and Redesigned Sidebars

iPadOS 14 introduces an all-new compact design for incoming FaceTime and phone calls, Siri interactions, and Search that are especially useful on iPad, designed to help you stay focused on the task at hand.
