The new split view feature in Apple’s coming iPad Mini will also work for iPad Air 2. The new addition was demonstrated in developers conference recently by Apple. The limitation to the split screen feature is that it would only work on iPad Air 2 because of its processor and more memory. However, it was also revealed by Safari browser file that the upcoming iPad Mini will also have the same feature.
The technology giant needs a reason to push people for buying the new iPads. Tablet demand has gradually declined and Apple has also suffered the setback. According to statistics recently the market share for iPad has dropped from 27.7 percent to 24.5 percent recently. Consumers now prefer big screen phones rather than tablets and those who own the tablet keep on holding it and don’t find a reason to purchase the new one. Another reason for dropped tablet sales is that usually family members are sharing the same device rather than purchasing an individual tablet for every family member. The last iPad released in October didn’t offer much other than fingerprint sensor so Apple really has to work hard to sell the coming Mini iPad.
Split view feature on iPad would definitely help users as many applications could be run side by side just like in tablet of Windows 10. The feature will be excellent for iPad 2 as it has a screen of 9.7 inches but having two applications simultaneously on iPad Mini would be cumbersome and less satisfying as its screen size is only 7.9 inches. Right now the company may be experimenting with the new feature to check its user friendliness on Mini. There are also rumors that a larger 12.9 inch display iPad is under development and if its true then it would definitely give the split view advantage.
Apple is planning for launching an event in September where most probably it will unveil the new iPhone as well as iPads. If it goes like said then that would be the company’s new strategy as earlier it had been holding separate events for both products.
