It's the high season for rumors, so I have totell this. Over the past few months, I have been told more than once about how cool it would be if the iPad had a mouse cursor. I thought that this would be really great.
Then I started to look into this topic and learned that this was already possible with the help of special joysticks.In iOS, you can add a cursor, and it may have been for a few years.However, I later heard that it would be possible to connect USB-C mice to the iPad without any adapters.
This information was also confirmed by the developer Steve Troton-Smith. He wrote that the function is indeed under development.
Support for the mouse and trackpad will be exclusive to the iPad and will be in the easy access settings.

Many will use this feature, especially in Marzipan applications.
Earlier, a Belgian developer created the PointerKit network to use the mouse with iOS devices, and since October 2018 he has been working for Apple.

Mouse support on the iPad requires a cursor. Perhaps it will be a circle or an arrow.
Last year, we first heard about the project.Marzipan, and they should release it already at the 2019 World Developers Conference. It will be especially convenient to work with the mouse with such programs and applications.
Touching will remain the main way to interact with devices, but the presence of mouse and trackpad support cannot but rejoice.
Earlier rumors appeared that iOS 13 on the iPadwill contain application windows with detachable panels. Working with the windows on the tablet with one finger will be inconvenient, and here you will need mouse support. Perhaps in the future, Apple will even release a Smart Keyboard Folio with an integrated trackpad.
