IPad will support Mouse iPad to further productivity

On the afternoon of October 28, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, apple arcade may attract the attention of all kinds of users with more than 100 games above, such as family, children and leisure game players, but Apple seems to have made other plans for the iPad to attract more hard core game players in the future.

Baystreet research is a research company specializing in the smartphone, tablet and smart watch markets. Clive & middot, founder and chief analyst of the company; Cliff Maldonado said that this fall, Apple introduced mouse support in the iPad OS to improve access performance. But the company is likely to introduce comprehensive mouse support for the iPad OS in the near future, making the iPad a real productivity and game platform.

He said: 'the iPad will gradually move closer to the computer, which is a potential stock to subvert the market & hellip& hellip; To me, Apple seems to want to & lsquo; The iPad has become as good and powerful as the MacBook. "

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Maldonado said that adding mouse support to the iPad OS would have a lot of impact on the game. " Games are divided into three categories: computer games, console games and mobile games, 'he said.' when the iPad has a mouse function and is equipped with a powerful chip, users can play computer games on the iPad. This may be Apple's first foray into the field of hard core games. "

Maldonado also said that there is no doubt that Apple arcade is Apple's biggest step towards the game field, but the audience is still mainly leisure mobile game players, rather than hard core computer games or console game players. " In my opinion, apple arcade is basically an expansion of Apple music playback, such as & lsquo; Let's develop a service& rsquo; But what I'm talking about here is rising to different levels of the game. "

Apple's current focus is still on consumers and developers. Turning to hard core games and mouse support will bring more opportunities and benefits to these two types of users. Full keyboard and mouse support can bring advantages to competitive gamers. " This may be a perfect subversion of computer games, 'said Maldonado.

In addition, once comprehensive mouse support is realized, it can also turn the iPad into a productivity platform, allowing users to completely use tablets and keyboard and mouse accessories to replace laptops. In this way, the iPad can also be more compatible with Microsoft's office series and Google's g suite tools.

Since the starting price of the iPad is $329, mouse support also makes the tablet directly competitive with Google's chromebook.

In the past two years, Apple has renewed and designed iPad and iPad Pro Series products, which has greatly improved the growth of iPad product line. The release of iPad OS means that iPad will continue to be the focus of apple in the next few years.
