Serif has also aligned with Apple’s efforts to make iPad more desktop-like in iPadOS 16, by taking advantage of the extra memory in iPad Pros. “Our work to put desktop-quality creative software on to iPad has set new industry standards for what users should expect – and now Affinity Publisher 2 allows you to take page design and layout out of the office and into whatever space brings you most inspiration.” “There’s genuinely never been anything like this before,” said Serif MD Ashley Hewson.
