Apple is ??? ??once again making the iPad more like a Mac.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman (via MacRumors), Apple is working on an iPadOS 19 "overhaul" with three main focuses: improving productivity, multitasking, and app window management.
While that's pretty vague, Gurman says it should push iPadOS closer to macOS, and we pretty much know what Apple needs to be working on there, as the company has repeatedly tried to achieve this in the past.
Ideally, it would be great to have the best of both worlds (iPadOS and macOS) on a super-thin tablet that has a touchscreen, but so far Apple has been unable to perfect this.
One such attempt was the launch of Stage Manager in 2022, which improves multitasking on the iPad. While Stage Manager indeed makes juggling multiple apps easier on Apple's tablets, it still doesn't match the workflow that you can get on the Mac. Other iPadOS weaknesses that users often point out include managing files on the iPad and the inability to have multiple users on one iPad.
Previous reports indicated that Apple plans a pretty big overhaul for iOS 19 as well. Apple is slated to launch iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 during WWDC 2025, which kicks off on June 9, and it looks like it's going to be a newsy event this year.
