Apple revamped iOS for iPads with split screen, an app dock and other ideas a couple of years ago, but that's not enough. As to what that killer OS could look like? That's up to Apple. But it needs to let the iPad be its own thing. And it should support new inputs and accessories at an OS-wide level, including trackpads, mice, Pencil's new double-tap commands, and everything USB-C could bring to the table.

This is not a wild and crazy request. But it involves iOS on iPad getting a significant change to support it. It's worth the effort. Without a trackpad, I'm tapping on the screen to make edits. With a trackpad, I can edit just fine. And for web-based work, it'll help tremendously. Microsoft and Google (and everyone else, really) support trackpads. If the iPad Pro is ever meant to be a pro tool for writers, this is essential. And while we're at it, make the keyboard more lap-friendly, and add backlit keys. Google's Pixel Slate keyboard options are exactly what the iPad Pro needs.
