This week, Apple launched the update to iOS 13.4. This includes many ecosystem improvements, such as purchasing unified apps. For iPad users, the iPadOS 13.4 update provides full support for mice or touchpads.
Apple recently rolled out iOS 13.4, a new update for the iPhone. If it is not a major update, it still brings some interesting new features to the ecosystem. For Memoji users, the Cupertino company offers new stickers, including a smiling face with hearts, joined hands and a festive face. For File users, iOS now offers sharing functionality for iCloud Drive folders. The Mail application interface changes slightly, to make it easier to access the buttons to delete, move, write or reply.
Another interesting novelty: “unified” purchases on the App Store. In essence, if the developer of an app adopts Unified Purchases, you can purchase that app on one device and use that app, without making another purchase, on other devices. Unified purchases are available on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
Other minor improvements are also included in the iOS 13.4 update. For example, for free or paid VPN iPhone users, the update adds a status bar flag to signal VPN disconnection on iPhone models with all screens.
Note also that for iPad users, the update to iPadOS 13.4 provides full support for mice and touchpads. This novelty was announced by Apple at the same time as the new iPad Pro. But it is available on all models that receive the update: iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and newer, fifth generation iPad and newer, and iPad mini 4 and newer.
Plus, you don't have to buy a keyboard, like the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, which includes a touchpad. You can very well take advantage of the new mouse support on the iPad using a mouse connected via USB or via Bluetooth.
