Next iPad Update May Bring Features Similar to a Touchscreen MacBook, Report Suggests

Posted on 13 April 2025

Apple is preparing for a significant update with iPadOS 19, which aims to address the long-standing gap between the iPad’s advanced hardware and its often lackluster software experience. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, this new iteration will prioritize enhancements in productivity, multitasking, and app window management. The goal is to make the iPad more akin to a Mac, responding to requests from power users since the introduction of Apple’s custom silicon chips. Many iPad enthusiasts have sought to use their tablets as laptop replacements, but they have frequently encountered limitations due to the software.

Despite the robust capabilities of iPads equipped with M-series processors like the M4 (and the forthcoming M5), the software experience has not been commensurate with the hardware’s potential. iPadOS 19 may finally provide a genuine sense of transforming the tablet into a functional laptop alternative, moving beyond theoretical possibilities. Gurman notes that while Apple is not merging iPadOS with macOS, the two platforms are evolving closer together regarding multitasking capabilities. Users can anticipate improvements to features like Stage Manager, allowing for more versatile app arrangement and resizing.

These refinements are especially beneficial for those using iPads alongside keyboards and trackpads. This update comes at a pivotal time as Apple prepares to debut new iPad Pro models featuring the M5 chip. By aligning this powerful hardware with a software experience that fully utilizes its capabilities, Apple has the opportunity to address criticisms regarding the iPad’s limitations stemming from its operating system. Although many hoped for a complete macOS integration, this year’s update might be a significant step forward for users seeking a productivity-oriented tablet experience without compromises.

With WWDC approaching, anticipation grows around Apple’s willingness to advance iPadOS and whether it can finally close the gap between tablets and laptops.
