iPadOS 19 is set to bring significant updates, aiming to bridge the gap between iPad and Mac functionalities. Expected to be unveiled at WWDC 2025 in June, with a public release in September, this update focuses on productivity, improved multitasking, and a redesigned interface.
The new interface, codenamed "Solarium," draws inspiration from visionOS, featuring translucent elements and a Mac-like menu bar for quick access to settings. Stage Manager 2.0 promises better window organization and customization, automatically activating with a keyboard and mouse. iPhones with USB-C can connect to iPads for an iPadOS 19-like interface.
iPadOS 19 will optimize the performance of M-series chips, similar to iOS 18's game mode, by pausing unnecessary background processes. Siri is also expected to receive AI-powered upgrades, offering enhanced context-awareness and proactive assistance. These changes aim to make the iPad a more versatile and powerful tool for both work and creative tasks.
