Apple is having its pluses and minuses to implement the mouse on the iPad. Although it advocated for the future without peripherals, the fact of launching a case with a keyboard and trackpad ends up blowing up these claims. The mouse is fully functional again in iOS 13.4 and it has also been redesigned to give it a curious appearance and functionality that does not make us forget that we are indeed dealing with a device designed mainly to be tactile. This is the curious redesign of the mouse cursor that Apple has carried out to implement it on the iPad.
Apart from the fact that the pointer is a circle, excessively large in my opinion, we see how the transitions are different from what has never been seen before in a system with these characteristics. When we move the mouse to a button it emphasizes it and shows us another interface, making the circle that represents the cursor disappear, And it makes sense since size and color can cause us to lose certain information, mainly because the iPad screens are relatively small, especially in the 10,2-inch model. Below you can see a video of Eduardo Arancho on Twitter in which it is explicitly shown what we mean:

And this is how Apple has chosen to integrate the mouse to remind us that we are not facing a PC, that we continue to work with an iPad. It seems to me an authentic way and once again very much in the style of the Cupertino company to be able to face this new challenge, the one that seems the definitive blow to the iPad to the PC, a transition that seemed never going to end up arriving but that is definitely up to date. around the corner given the new trackpad cases that the general public is loving so much, what do you think?
