Yes, it does that. And then some.
iPad is so versatile, it’s more than up to any task. Whether you’re working on a project, expressing your creativity or playing an immersive game, iPad is a fun and powerful way to get it done. Here are just a few of the countless things you can do with iPad.
iPad works with the powerful apps you’re familiar with, like Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Office, with the added ease of using them with touch.
Stay productive and on the go all day.
Multitasking with iPad is more intuitive and powerful than ever. Work seamlessly across apps. Use Slide Over or Split View to work with multiple apps at the same time, and even drag and drop content between apps with touch or a trackpad. And on iPad Pro and iPad Air, you can use Stage Manager to overlap, stack and resize app windows.2
Cellular capability means iPad keeps you connected from just about anywhere with a data plan. So you won’t miss a beat even if you’re away from Wi‑Fi.3
You can organise, share and get to all your stuff with the Files app. Manage what’s on your iPad, in iCloud or on other cloud services like Box. Easily access files stored on a thumb drive or other external devices too.
Whether you’re taking notes, keeping a journal or brainstorming a solution, iPad is always ready to capture your brightest ideas. Then you can easily share them, build on them and bring them to life.4
With iPad, your handwriting can be just as powerful as typed text. Start with your handwritten note, then with a few taps, copy and paste it as typed text.
Draw familiar shapes freehand with Apple Pencil and watch as shape recognition snaps them into their ideal form.
Fill in a form or sign a document right on iPad with your fingertip or Apple Pencil, then send it with just a tap. Or take a screenshot and mark it up, give some retouching notes on a photo, or make revisions to a document.
Use Apple Pencil to write a quick message or search for something in Safari. Your handwriting will automatically convert to typed text, so you don’t have to interrupt your flow.
Quick Note is a fast and easy way to make or get to a note no matter what you’re doing. Start a Quick Note with a swipe of a finger or Apple Pencil, then jot down information over any app or screen. Add links, highlights, tags and mentions for context.
With tilt and pressure sensitivity, imperceptible lag and pixel‑perfect precision, Apple Pencil is the ultimate tool to help turn a blank page into an inspiring work of art.5
Even the most intensive creative projects are brought to life on iPad. Use touch to move and manipulate objects, and Apple Pencil to draw and fine‑tune sketches. You can even view them in AR, all on one device.
Audio apps for iPad help you learn, practise, record and create with ease. And with Logic Pro for iPad, you have everything you need to create a finished song and more — it’s like having a professional recording studio in your hands.
Use Apple Pencil to draw characters and create new worlds with intuitive animation apps designed for all types of artist.
With Sidecar, you can extend or mirror your Mac display wirelessly. Then use iPad for precision tasks or as an incredible second display. And with Universal Control, a single keyboard and mouse or trackpad work seamlessly between your Mac and iPad.
Every iPad includes a 3-month subscription to Apple TV+, featuring critically acclaimed Apple Original series and films.6
Catch the newest film and TV releases or rewatch your favourites on an immersive display that goes with you anywhere.
Play your favourite album, listen to a podcast as you cook or watch your favourite movie on the go.
iPad makes reading a joy. Check out all your favourite authors, books and publications with the Books and News apps.
iPad makes editing, enjoying and sharing your photos and videos easy. Capture the perfect shot and make it your own with a suite of powerful built‑in or third‑party editing apps. And use Final Cut Pro for iPad to shoot, edit, finish and deliver professional videos wherever you are.
Use FaceTime and other video conferencing apps to stay connected with family, friends and the office. You can take selfies too.
Use the back camera to scan a document, then mark it up and send it. All from the same device.
Advanced cameras, motion tracking and a large display make iPad the ultimate device for augmented reality. So you can learn, watch and play in immersive environments.
Browse and enjoy thousands of games designed just for iPad. From high‑speed racing to jigsaw puzzles, there’s a game for everyone.
Pair your PlayStation or Xbox controller with your iPad to create an incredible portable game console. Play solo or team up with friends in multiplayer.7
Play your way through hundreds of worlds and experience endless fun with Apple Arcade. One subscription, zero ads, all you can play.
Games take on a new dimension with motion sensors built into iPad. Dodge, drive and take aim with iPad as an amazing handheld gaming device.
Take your learning with you and sign in from wherever you are. Attend a lecture, tackle a group project, or simply stay connected with colleagues and classmates around the world.
iPad makes a perfect companion for learning. Go step by step with an instructor or zip through a self‑guided course in your free time. However you like to learn, there’s an app for that.
The App Store has a huge range of educational apps for children to explore outside the classroom. And Screen Time lets you view and set limits on how much time you and your kids spend on apps, websites and more.
Swift Playgrounds makes it fun to learn and experiment with Swift — a powerful programming language created by Apple. Learn code, build real apps with SwiftUI and see your ideas come to life on the App Store.
Expand your mind with augmented reality learning apps. Dive into layers of the human body or point your iPad to the stars and see the constellations above you.
Apps in the App Store are designed to take full advantage of the power and versatility of iPad. Our App Store editors curate and recommend the best apps in the world to help you create, have fun, learn and get things done.
