In this iPadOS 13 video walkthrough, we go hands-on with lots of new iPad features. Items covered include new Home screen enhancements, huge multitasking updates, Apple Pencil improvements, and much more. Watch our full video inside for the details, and don’t forget to subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more video walkthroughs like this.

After going hands-on with iPadOS 13, my biggest takeaway is how much better multitasking on iPad has come to be. There will always be room for improvement, but the multitasking capability of iPadOS 13 is far ahead of what was found in iOS 12.

With all of the new multitasking improvements, having access to App Exposé assists greatly in keeping tabs on all of the open app windows in iPad OS 13. There’s also the ability to view open windows whenever starting a new multitasking session with an app that already has open windows.

In this video walkthrough I tried my best to avoid regurgitating what I’ve already discussed in depth in our iOS 13 video walkthrough. A lot of the same features that you’ll find on iPadOS 13, you’ll also find in iOS 13. Hence, I avoided talking commenting again on flagship features like Dark Mode in this video.

Beneath the video walkthrough, you’ll find the full list of iPadOS 13 changes and features in the order that they were demonstrated in the video.
