Full mouse support! iOS / iPad OS 14 details exposed

On March 10th, according to a well-known technology website 9to5mac, Apple will launch full system support for mouse cursors on iOS 14 / iPad OS 14. Earlier Apple added basic compatibility with the external mouse in the iOS 13 accessibility settings, but this feature will officially become mainstream in iOS 14 / iPad OS 14.
The build version of iOS 14 also references two Smart Keyboard models under development, two new smart keyboard model identifiers, indicating that Apple is preparing to promote accessories to multiple models of iPad. Although information about the physical shape of the new accessory could not be found, the code discovery hinted at the design information for these smart keyboards, with the keyboard above and the touchpad below.
Earlier, there was news that Apple is developing a smart keyboard protective cover with a touchpad. At present, the news can indeed be confirmed.
iOS 14 will officially introduce the mouse, which is undoubtedly another good news for the improvement of device productivity. However, the mouse operation introduced by Apple is different from the general one. In order to guarantee the priority of iPad touch experience, the mouse pointer will disappear automatically after the user does not touch the connected mouse or trackpad for a few seconds. When the user tries to move the cursor again, it will reappear-this is the same as when watching the video in full screen The situation is somewhat similar.
Apple Inc. is also developing support for Mac gestures, such as right-clicking with two fingers.
The advent of new smart keyboard models and these gestures largely indicate that keyboard accessories will have standard laptop-style touchpads.
Two interesting icons also appeared in the recently released iOS 14 code, which are headphones in light mode and dark mode. This seems to mean that it should be that Apple headphones will be compatible with iOS 14. Another news shows that Apple has applied for a headset-related patent, such as a control patent that can accurately recognize the user ’s gestures in various wearing modes. No matter how the user wears the headset, he can use the sensor to give the user correct gesture feedback. .
I hope iOS 14 will bring more new features, at least not as frequently as bugs like iOS 13.
