To return the keyboard to normal, press down on the keyboard icon again and tap Dock and Merge. Not only will this speed up your productivity since you can always see the dock when you swipe up from the bottom of the display, but it’s also essential when you need to access an app through split-screen multitasking. I suggest putting as many commonly used apps on the dock as you can. The iPhone, by contrast, only lets you put four apps or folders down there. The iPad makes it super easy to open commonly used apps by letting you put a ton of them on the dock. It’s great for selecting big blocks of text. The keyboard’s keys will vanish, allowing you to move a cursor around the display as though you were using a MacBook trackpad. Selecting the rest of the text in a paragraph will then be much easier than it would be with your finger. It works best if you select a single word first and then switch on the virtual trackpad. Whenever the digital keyboard is visible, put two fingers on the keyboard at once and move them around.

The iPad currently doesn’t support wired or Bluetooth mice, but to Apple’s credit, it has a cool (if limited) substitute. When you want to get rid of it, swipe the thin white bar at the top of the app to the left or right to make it disappear. Instead, drop it somewhere around the middle. Just follow the steps above, but don’t drag the second app all the way to the edge. If you just want to use the second app for a quick reference, you can make it a thin window that floats “above” the primary app. I sometimes wish Apple could figure out a way to make Split View work on the larger iPhones. (And yep, the app needs to already be in the dock for this to work.) If all goes well, the screen will split into two halves with an adjustable divider down the middle. Whenever you want to see two apps side-by-side-such as a Safari webpage alongside a Pages doc-open one app the normal way, and then drag up the second app’s icon from the dock all the way to the left or right edge of the display. Split View multitasking is one of the iPad’s biggest advantages over the iPhone. Some tips basically amount to refreshers of the tutorials, but other bits may make you whisper, “Wow.” (I’m speaking from my own experience.) Once you’ve got these tools at your disposal, you’ll understand why Apple has such a ridiculous lead in the tablet market. Here’s a little introduction to the wizardry Apple conceals beneath the familiar facade of iOS. It may not be a MacBook, but you’d be wrong to dismiss it as giant iPhone. Once you’ve mastered them, works sometimes feels fun. The iPad can feel magical when you have the knowledge of the right tricks at hand. The iPad isn’t really the laptop replacement Apple wants us to think it is, but anyone who outright dismisses it as a productivity device shouldn’t be taken too seriously, either.
