Forget everything you thought you knew about working on an iPad. Apple’s new iPadOS 26 is a game-changing update that transforms the tablet into the powerhouse laptop replacement you’ve always wanted.

The star of the show is true, Mac-style multitasking. You can now freely resize, float, and tile app windows. With Exposé, you can see all your open apps in a single, elegant view, while an upgraded Stage Manager lets you organize your workspace like a pro. Even classic Mac features like the top menu bar and the powerful Preview app have made their way to the iPad, blurring the lines between tablet and computer.
iPadOS 26 brings a new design; an entirely new powerful and intuitive windowing system; new features powered by Apple Intelligence; major enhancements to working with files, audio, and video; and more
But it’s not just about workflow. iPadOS 26 gets a stunning visual overhaul with a new “Liquid Glass” design, and it’s smarter than ever. Apple Intelligence now powers live translations during calls and lets you create super-powered Shortcuts to summarize text or generate images on the fly.
This is the upgrade that finally unleashes the iPad’s true potential. Get ready for a whole new experience when it launches this fall.
