Apple has killed the future of computing. With iPadOS 26, it turned the dream of computing visionaries like Alan Kay and Jef Raskin (and of Steve Jobs and Jony Ive, too) into an overpriced touchscreen MacBook with an optional keyboard.

Apple's WWDC 2025 keynote has come and gone and was chock full of exciting news. PCMag was at Apple headquarters in Cupertino to provide live coverage and has all the Apple-related headlines you need to read.

Apple kicked off WWDC 2025 with its keynote presentation at its annual World Wide Developer’s conference, and it was a bumper affair. We were treated to a raft of updates across all of the firm’s software platforms, as we were introduced to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26 and visionOS 26.

Apple’s latest iPad is very similar to its predecessor, but its two most important changes ensure a strong quality of life.

iPadOS 26 gives the iPad its biggest windowing redesign ever, letting users resize app windows, place them where they want, tile them, and open more windows at once than before. The new OS also features a new menu bar for the iPad, as well as a new Preview app and file navigation system.

I’ve been using the iPadOS 26 beta for the past 24 hours on my iPad Pro 11 with M4, and it has completely transformed my iPad experience. Here’s how.

I’ve been running the very first developer beta for less than a day on an 11-inch iPad Air, and I can already sense a change in how I use my tablet. The new multitasking system is mostly pretty easy to understand.

Possibly the biggest announcement in iPadOS 26 is the updated windowing system that will turn your multitasking game up to 11. Apple's blurring the lines between its operating systems with the latest iPad update. Any fear it may have had about the iPad cutting into Mac sales seems to be gone, as iPadOS makes the two feel more similar than ever.
