This vector-graphics design app — now unified across iPhone, iPad, and Mac — boasts a stronger iPad experience that makes complex designs easier to understand. On iPad, the new two-column Inspector lets people browse and edit side-by-side, adapting dynamically to window size. And on iPhone, touch targets, spacing, and gestures have been refined for smoother and more comfortable interaction — even with one hand.

A great example of how the new design system allows apps to merchandise more products. The search experience moves to the tab bar and becomes more globally available. And Liquid Glass controls let the brand’s familiar color scheme shine through. And the blue headers on the Shop tab scroll away, affording more real estate in the content view.
