Apple is set to bring more Mac-like features to iPads with the release of iPadOS 19, expected to be unveiled at WWDC on June 9. According to reports from The Verge and MacRumors, the update will focus on improving multitasking, app window management, and overall productivity—areas where iPads have traditionally lagged behind macOS.
While Apple won’t be merging iPadOS and macOS, the company aims to blur the line between them. Features like more flexible window resizing, improved Stage Manager, and enhanced multitasking tools are expected. These changes are likely to debut alongside a new M5 iPad Pro.
iPadOS 19 is shaping up to be a major step toward making the iPad a true laptop alternative—at least for users craving desktop-style control.
