Apple is preparing a major update to its iPadOS software platform. With the release of iPadOS 19 later this year, the platform will become “more like macOS,” Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman reported, citing his own sources.

The iPadOS update comes at the same time as other major changes to Apple’s ecosystem, including a major redesign of the iPhone with iOS 19 and the first facelift for the Mac in years. “I’ve been told that this year’s update will focus on performance, multitasking, and window management, with an eye toward making the device feel like a Mac. This has been a long-awaited change: iPad users have been begging Apple for more power,” Gurman said in a statement.
Users have been waiting for this update for a long time, as the iPad hardware has been significantly superior to the software used in the device for four years. It is clear that Apple is trying to make its operating systems more similar to each other. This approach will make it more comfortable for users to switch from one Apple device to another.
