Could you recommend an article or Apple web page listing those additions? Or name some here?

Mark Gurman, long-time Apple journalist, didn't find any iPad-specific features, beyond AI/LLM features coming to all Apple platforms. Here's another article that lists "everything" announced at WWDC, which doesn't list any new iPad features, other than AI/LLM, https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/10/everything-apple-announced...

Just watch the darn video from this morning, its only 7 minutes long and you are using a device that is tailored for this very use case ha ha

FYI they even purposely made fun of themselves regarding the calculator app.

Just watched. The announcements were:

  iOS: customize home screen + control center
  apps: floating tab bar menus
  apple apps: animations + doc browser
  screen sharing: pencil annotations 
  calculator: math notes + brett victor animations
  apple notes: handwriting digital twin
Cute features, sadly of low benefit to work use cases. High value would be a VM and CLI terminal to run a web server stack for offline dev, maintenance or publishing tasks in time and space constrained contexts where Macbook would be inconvenient. Macbook is good for hours of dedicated work, iPad for quick tasks.
