iPadOS 19's Major Features Unveiled: Anticipated Updates Now on the Horizon
Apple is set to unveil significant changes to its iPadOS operating system with the release of iPadOS 19, aiming to position the iPad as a more versatile device for productive work. The announcements about these changes are expected to be made at Apple's June developer conference, the WWDC 2025.
According to reports by US media company Bloomberg, iPadOS 19 will undergo a comprehensive software overhaul, focusing on productivity-enhancing elements such as efficient multitasking and improved app window management. The goal is to make the iPad more suitable for productive tasks, bringing it closer to the macOS operating system.
The changes could make the iPad more versatile, similar to a Mac, in both daily life and professional settings. Some of the anticipated features include enhanced multitasking, a redesigned Files app, improved background task support, and advanced AI-driven tools under the umbrella of Apple Intelligence. These improvements aim to make the iPad function more like a true laptop replacement by improving workflows for content creators, students, and power users.
The release of the iPadOS 19 update is planned for the end of 2025. However, specific details about the changes are not yet confirmed. Users can expect the first test versions (beta versions) to be available in the summer after the WWDC 2025.
In addition to the software updates, Apple is also planning significant changes to its devices in 2023. The upcoming iPad Pro with the M5 chip, expected in the fall of 2025, will complement these software enhancements with hardware boosts such as the M5 chip for faster processing, increased RAM (standardizing at 16GB), dual front-facing cameras for versatile video calling, and an OLED display. These hardware improvements, combined with iPadOS 19/26 functionality, will provide smoother multitasking, better background app performance, and deeper AI integration for productivity.
In summary, iPadOS 19 (and its successor iPadOS 26) focus heavily on productivity enhancements that, together with new hardware, push the iPad closer to a MacBook replacement. The full release for hardware and software updates is expected around fall 2025 during Apple’s typical product launch season.
