- It is anticipated to be revealed at WWDC 2025.
- WWDC 2025 will begin on June 9.
Many new features are anticipated in Apple's next software update. Upcoming updates to iPadOS 19 are also highlighted in a new report, although previously iOS 19 was the most talked-about. Similar to how iOS 19 is expected to look more like visionOS, iPadOS 19 is rumored to look "more like macOS." Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that the iPadOS 19 will improve with three significant updates.
Three major upgrades expected from Apple's 2026 MacBook Pro redesign
In the most recent issue of his Power On newsletter, Gurman states, "I've been informed that this year's update will concentrate on productivity, multitasking, and app window management — with an eye on the device operating more like a Mac." He continues by saying, "It's been a long time coming, with iPad power users begging Apple to make the tablet more powerful."
Gurman did not, however, provide any particulars. Nevertheless, Apple will reveal the impending software updates at WWDC 2025, which is scheduled for June.
WWDC 2025 to reveal iOS 19, iPadOS 19
Apple has formally declared that WWDC 2025, its next event, will be held from June 9 to June 13. iOS 19, along with new developments in Apple Intelligence and a variety of other software updates, is expected to be released, though the company has not yet confirmed the details of its announcements. The iPhone 17 Air, a new model in the iPhone lineup, may also be available for early preview by Apple.

The rumors and leaks of iOS 19 have been going around for a while, but there are still few details available about iPadOS 19. Apple's ecosystem, which includes Macs, iPads, and iPhones, is expected to look more unified with the release of iOS 19, according to earlier rumors.
It is anticipated that the update will offer more customization choices, with an emphasis on the Control Center's deeper integration of Focus Modes. Additionally, context-aware formatting will improve system-wide organization, provide a wider selection of widgets, and make suggestions that are more intelligent.
Additionally, one of the event's main themes is anticipated to be Apple Intelligence. However, why is it taking so long to release the Apple Intelligence features that were unveiled at WWDC 2024?

Apple might take a more measured approach this time around, considering the difficulties it has faced in implementing its AI-driven capabilities.
How can I watch WWDC 2025, though? The Apple Developer app, the official Apple Developer website, and the Apple Developer YouTube channel will all offer access to WWDC 2025 throughout the week, according to Apple. "Video sessions and opportunities for users and developers to interact with Apple engineers and designers through online labs will be featured at this year's conference," the company stated.
