The news is especially good for those who want their tablet to act more like a Mac.<\/p>\n<p>With WWDC25 and the unveiling of iPadOS 19 mere weeks away, here\u2019s what we already know about it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>iPadOS 19 rumors: A more Mac-like iPad<\/h2>\n<p>Broadly speaking, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/ipad\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770064\">iPads<\/a> cater to two separate audiences who use the tablets in very different ways. One group uses the iPad as a light-duty computer for social media and watching videos. But the other group demands much more, using their iPad for traditional Mac\/PC tasks like running productivity or creativity software.<\/p>\n<p>Users in the first group seem generally satisfied with iPadOS, but many in the second group complain of limitations built into the software. It seems many of the changes coming in iPadOS 19 will be for these iPad power users.<\/p>\n<p>Information leaked to <em>Bloomberg<\/em> in April says the upcoming upgrade will result in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/ipados-19-may-finally-blur-the-line-between-ipad-and-mac\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770065\">the device operating more like a Mac<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only specific to come to light comes from tipster Majin Bu, who said that with iPadOS 19, \u201cthe interface will adapt to show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/ipados-19-may-add-mac-like-home-screen-menu-bar\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770066\">a menu bar at the top<\/a>, just like on macOS, turning the iPad into a much more laptop-like experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In more general terms, \u201cThis year\u2019s upgrade will focus on productivity, multitasking, and app window management,\u201d predicted <em>Bloomberg<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>Stage Manager 2.0<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/stage-manager\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770067\">Stage Manager<\/a> provides resizable, floating windows for applications on midrange and high-end iPad models. It was Apple\u2019s first move to make the iPad more Mac-like, and iPadOS 19 rumors indicate the system is in for an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Tipster Majin Bu says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/ipados-19-may-add-mac-like-home-screen-menu-bar\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770068\">Stage Manager 2.0<\/a> \u201cwill make managing apps and windows smoother and more productive than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the changes that make Apple\u2019s tablet function more like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/mac\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770069\">Mac<\/a> reportedly will only appear when an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/reviews\/apple-magic-keyboard-for-m4-ipad-pro-review\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770070\">Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad<\/a> is attached, an accessory that converts the tablet into a laptop. That means the group that uses their iPad as a simple content-consumption device won\u2019t need to deal with the new user interface.<\/p>\n<h3>A redesign across Apple operating systems<\/h3>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s big announcements at WWDC25 won\u2019t only be about iPadOS 19 becoming more Mac-like, though. All <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/ios-19-macos-16-redesign-rumors\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770071\">Apple operating systems reportedly will receive face-lifts<\/a> that make them look more similar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe revamp \u2014 due later this year \u2014 will fundamentally change the look of the operating systems and make Apple\u2019s various software platforms more consistent,\u201d <em>Bloomberg<\/em> said in March. \u201cThat includes updating the style of icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No matter whether you use an iPad, Mac or iPhone, iPadOS 19 rumors indicate you should expect your device to look more like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/visionos\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770072\">visionOS<\/a>, the operating system that runs the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/vision-pro\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770073\">Apple Vision Pro headset<\/a>. No screenshots have leaked yet, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/ios-19-leak-reveals-squircle-icons-redesigned-system-apps\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770074\">app icons supposedly will look more rounded<\/a>, and items in the user interface will look more like they float above the background.<\/p>\n<h3>Longer battery life and other AI improvements<\/h3>\n<p>Not everything coming in iPadOS 19 is a user interface change, either. Artificial intelligence will reportedly play a larger role in the new version, too.<\/p>\n<p>No iPad suffers from a battery life problem, but no user would complain if their tablet went longer between charges. A system reportedly going into iOS 19 for the iPhone 17 Air uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/iphone-ai-battery-ios-19\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770075\">AI to conserve energy<\/a>. That change should benefit iPads, too.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/siri-release-date-fall-2025\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770076\">AI-enhanced version of the Siri voice assistant<\/a> should arrive on iPads either in the autumn or early in 2026. It should make ordering tablets to perform complicated tasks using voice commands a practical option.<\/p>\n<h3>iPadOS 19 rumors become facts at WWDC 2025<\/h3>\n<p>WWDC25 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/wwdc25-schedule\" data-lasso-id=\"1641770077\">kicks off with an Apple Keynote on June 9<\/a>, and taking the wraps off iPadOS 19 is surely on the agenda. That will mark the end of rumors and give us our first look at the reality of the upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s especially true for developers, as Apple generally makes the first betas of its operating systems available during WWDC. Non-developers get their chance a few weeks later.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest iPadOS 19 rumors indicate the upgrade will make the iPad more Mac-like than ever before.
