iPadOS 19 Will Be 'More Like macOS' in Three Ways

A common complaint about the iPad Pro is that the iPadOS software platform fails to fully take advantage of the device's powerful hardware.

That could soon change.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today said that iPadOS 19 will be 'more like macOS.'

Gurman said that iPadOS 19 will be 'more like a Mac' in three ways:Improved productivity

Improved multitasking

Improved app window management 'I'm told that this year's upgrade will focus on productivity, multitasking and app window management — with an eye on the device operating more like a Mac,' said Gurman, in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter. 'It's been a long time coming, with iPad power users pleading with Apple to make the tablet more powerful.'

Gurman did not provide any specific details.

iPadOS 19 will be announced alongside iOS 19, macOS 16, and other software updates during the WWDC 2025 keynote on Monday, June 9.Related Roundups: iOS 19, iPad ProTag: Mark GurmanBuyer's Guide: iPad Pro (Caution)This article, "iPadOS 19 Will Be 'More Like macOS' in Three Ways" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
