Speaker 1: Apps are the foundation of the iPad experience in iPad OS 18. Stay on edge. For apps like Apple tv, the tab bar turns into a sidebar when you want to explore more. If you use specific tabs, you can usually customize the tab bar to provide easy access to your favorites. This redesigned experience works on apps [00:00:30] whole system. We’ve also made it easier to navigate files and apps like Pages, Keynotes, and Swift Playgrounds, giving each app a unique new look. One of the best features of Share Place is screen sharing. It’s a great way to help friends and family far away, and we’re making it even better in two ways. You can now click and draw on the screen to indicate what they should do on their screen, and if you need more direct help you can ask for permission [00:01:00] Remotely control their iPad or iPhone. Speaker 1: I hope this helps. that’s right. We’re bringing calculators to the iPad. yeah. By leveraging the unique features of iPad, it makes solving math easier than ever. The first is that the calculator on iPhone has been updated to take advantage of the larger iPad display, as well as some new tricks like history and unit conversion. [00:01:30] But the real magic of Calculator on iPad is unleashed when you use it with Apple Pencil. Apple Pencil is the most powerful feature of the iPad. It has changed the way you use your iPad to take notes, draw, and even design, and now it’s changing the way you do math with a feature we call Math Notes. Let’s see it in action with Jenny. Speaker 2: I’m excited to show you the new math note-taking experience. I can find it by just clicking on the new calculator button here [00:02:00] And my Apple Pencil. I’m going to start writing the expression down like on paper. The equal sign calculator solved it for me as soon as I wrote it out and even showed me the result in handwriting like I did it myself. As I make changes, the results update instantly, and I can go beyond basic math using all the same features in a scientific calculator. I can save my math notes and come back to them later. [00:02:30] If I’m doing something different, say I’m budgeting for my team’s upcoming table tennis tournament. Since I’m taking math notes, I can quickly summarize these costs by just drawing a line under them. It’s so natural. Math Notes is also very powerful when it comes to more complex math. Speaker 2: My teammates and I were solving physics problems. We are calculating the maximum height of a ping pong ball when I hit it at different speeds and angles. [00:03:00] Math Notes supports variables, so I declared some variables here, and below there is an expression using these variables to help me calculate the height. The power of variables is that if I change one variable, such as my rate of fire, it also changes the associated outcome. If I want to see how velocity affects height visually, I can, I just equal Y on the front of this equation. Now when I ascend the sun of equality, [00:03:30] I have the option to build a chart. If I’m curious about how angle affects height, if I’m shooting, I can hover the pencil over the angle and adjust it to see in real time how it affects my chart. It’s an easy way to explore equations and mathematics. It was just a quick look at Craig’s math notes and calculator. Speaker 1: Math notes are great for solving problem sets or just solving math problems that we run [00:04:00] day to day. This all also works in notes when you need to crunch numbers. Notes has all the new math features of the calculator. Just as we’re reimagining math on iPad, we’re reimagining handwriting in notes with a new feature called Smarts Script Notes, which already has great handwriting capabilities. Features include selecting and copying your text and even making it straighter. With Smarts Script, we make your handwritten notes smoother than ever. Start with improvement [00:04:30] How your text looks when you write it. We use powerful on-device machine learning models to recreate your handwriting style from your notes, unlocking new features. Whenever you have an idea, write it down as soon as possible. Smart Script is ready to perfect your handwriting. It’s still your own writing, but it looks smoother, straighter, and clearer. Smarts Scripts make handwriting as flexible as typing, further speeding up your writing process. [00:05:00] Now you can just type text into your handwritten note and it will appear in your own style. The spell checker works as you’d expect and can correct errors. When you decide you need to add something you’ve already written, just tap and hold with Apple Pencil and your text will automatically disappear, freeing up more space. If you want to remove something, just scrape it off. Speaker 1: Smarts Script makes your handwritten notes more effective, smoother and easier [00:05:30] read. With additional enhancements to typed note-taking, including foldable sections, there’s never been a better time to become a note-taker. This is iPad OS 18.
