Apple’s iPadOS 19 at WWDC is rumored to be a more macOS-like update, with boosts to multitasking and productivity potentially making the tablet even more of a workhorse. Even with the addition of a keyboard to the mix, it’s not quite a full replacement for a MacBook Pro, but it could get closer with some tweaks at WWDC. According to Mark Gurman in Sunday’s Bloomberg newsletter, Apple’s changes to iPadOS 19 will involve a shift to make the design of its operating system catalog more consistent.However, an apparent big theme of WWDC will also be iPad software, the report claims. There will be a focus on productivity, multitasking, and app management. While this has always been relatively weak on iPad compared to a Mac, Apple apparently intends to make iPadOS more Mac-like in this regard. Mac and iPad will still have their own operating systems, but it will be a bit closer usage-wise at least. This occurs at a time when the iPad Pro models use the same Apple Silicon chips as the Mac models. There is also the anticipation of new iPad Pro updates using M5 chips, which could certainly benefit from some iPadOS productivity changes.
