Honestly that's exactly what the iPad needs. The focus on discoverability has crippled the iPad since the beginning, so its about time Apple started making the iPad faster to use. Software designed to maximize productivity always has a learning curve.
Mouse support would be cool. Much easier to use a mouse when interacting with text then doing touch in my opinion.
Looks like they ran out of time for all the features, but MOUSE SUPPORT!!! https://twitter.com/reneritchie/status/1135643633690992640
voice control (an accessibility feature for now) lays the groundwork for more pervasive computing for all, but mouse support fills a hole until that happens.
i don't think voice control will replace physical controls, but do think it will grow in usage over time to become an important augment to physical controls.
now i'm just waiting for pervasive handwriting input with realtime OCR and indexing (for instant search), which can replace all sorts of note-taking and annotation workflows (and the requisite printing to paper that now often entails).

iOS is getting files and gamepad support: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13-preview/features/
iOS has had files and gamepad support for years. The new things announced today are: - SMB fileshare and SD card access in Files on iOS. - PS4 and Xbox One gamepad support for the HomePod & iOS.
Will there be a multi-user mode? Perfect for separating work from home or multiple clients... It would make iPad so much more usable as a single device for both work and fun.
Let’s see how that works out?

No, the OS on iPads and iPods Touch was always called iOS - the OS was only called iPhone OS for a very short period of time.
Your comment contradicts itself. It wasn't always called iOS if it was called iPhone OS "for a very short period of time." And the period of time was not "very short" by my definition at least. According to [0]: > Apple announced iPhone OS 1 at the iPhone keynote on January 9, 2007, and it was released to the public alongside the original iPhone on June 29, 2007. > Apple announced iPhone OS 2 at the iPhone software r…
Some of the features look pretty great but I can't help but fear the day when they decide to discontinue the Macbook.

iPad OS includes mouse support.
But sadly only mouse and not trackpad support. (Can be activated under accessibility)
I haven't tried it so I don't know.

> Android has supported exactly this since 1.5 (2009) But I think those widgets are still so Vista/Dashboard-like in nature; they're made to look good and present simple information, but rare are the widgets that are generally more useful than the features built directly into the launcher (of which my favourite Android launcher remains Nova). > I honestly have no idea what you're talking about here.

the crowd of people who're allergic to taking their hands of the keyboard no longer have the monopoly on productivity. Words hurt, friend ;)
