At long last, the iPad is getting its own operating system called iPadOS. Instead of trying to please both iPhone and iPad owners with one operating system, Apple has chosen to split the two and focus on giving each device its own specific features. Multi-tasking and split-screen are two very big features on the new operating system and they both aid in one very popular pastime – streaming movies and TV shows on the go.

Many add-ons have been released to bring you streaming capabilities for movies, shows, documentaries, cartoons, news, and much more.
