Apple is preparing to announce iPadOS 19 at its WWDC event next month. According to recent reports, this new version will focus on better multitasking, improved AI, and a fresh new look. Here are four features expected to launch.
1. Menu Bar Comes to iPad
A Mac-style menu bar is coming to the iPad. This feature will show up when a Magic Keyboard is connected, but it may also work for touch users. It will help iPad users access common settings and tools more easily, just like on a Mac.
2. Stage Manager 2.0
Apple is working on a better version of its multitasking system called Stage Manager 2.0. While details are still limited, this update is meant to improve how users handle multiple apps at once. Apple is aiming to make multitasking simpler and more powerful.
3. Smarter Siri with AI Upgrades
Siri is getting long-awaited improvements with iPadOS 19. The new version will support hundreds of new in-app actions, better understand what’s on your screen, and respond more intelligently based on your personal usage.
4. A Fresh New Design
The overall design of iPadOS will change too. Apple is introducing a new look inspired by visionOS, with glass-like visual effects and more consistent system elements. These updates aim to make the iPad feel more modern and easier to use.
These changes could mark the biggest update to iPadOS in years. After several quiet releases, Apple seems ready to take the iPad seriously again for productivity.
