Is there any word going around about what Microsoft got plan for iPad OS? I love using their stuff on the iPad and can’t wait them add dark mode it. So is there any rumors to what new features they give to the iPad?

<p>It’s most likely that MS will continue the incremental pace. There’s not a technical reason why the tablet versions are “less powerful.”</p><p><br></p><p> It’s 100% design. The idea is that they can implement the top 4/5 of functionality in 1/5 the amount of code.</p>
<p>They'll obviously take advantage of the ability to run multiple instances of Office apps, and maybe we'll see dark mode and some additional pen functionality– but I'm not expecting a whole lot else. I don't think we'll suddenly see them add macros for example. As Jim notes in his comment, incremental updates over time are more likely. </p><p>Personally, the biggest thing I want from Microsoft right now is dark mode for Outlook. The wall of white is just overwhelming if you're using the app in a darkened room.</p>
