For 15 years I waited to see the iPad reach its potential. I hoped for 15 years AppleThe best -selling tablet would be more than just a “large iPhone”. And now it seems that my prayers have been answered.
Every year, in June, I wait patiently to see the next iteration of iPados. You see, I have always loved the iPad, since I saved to buy the Big Chonky tablet in 2010. But every year the tablet’s software is just a side issue at Apple Global developer conference. Every year so far.
For the first time ever, Apple iPad gave up the spotlight WWDCAnd now it looks like the coming iPados 26 Will finally give the incredible hardware that is found in the best iPads, a platform to shine.
Now it is the time of the iPad to shine
During my time at the university, as a young student who worked in my local Apple store, I opted for an iPad above a Mac to help me endure my studies.
At the time, now more than five years ago, the iPad Pro was a powerful device with a operating system That completely stopped.
Not only was everything awkward and mobile based, but there was a lack of good file management and an inability to manage Windows quickly.
Over the years, some of my iPados problems have been crushed, but to this day my iPad Pro M2, which is more powerful than the Mac I write to this article, clocked by Apple’s obsession with making iPados the same as iOS.
On WWDC 2025 all of this changed thanks to what Apple calls “a completely new powerful and intuitive Windows system”.
Windows on iPad
In iPados 26 (yes, Apple decided to rename iPados 19), users can now easily switch between App Windows and they organize them like never before.
In the demonstration of Apple during De Keynote, six apps that were stacked on top of each other showed the new possibility that completely transforms the possibilities of an iPad.
Even better, Apple has made the new Window Management tool seamlessly with Stage Manager, so that you can connect your iPad to an external display and pick the benefits of the new operating system without being limited to mirroring what is on the display of your tablet.
If this new iPad window management was the only announcement at WWDC, it would have been enough to seduce me to switch back to an iPad as my primary computer device. Amazingly, there is more, including the arrival of a menu bar on iPad for the first time ever.
Yes, the iPad now functions more like a Mac than an iPhone, and I am really in the clouds. Now iPad users can get quick access to functional tools by easily dragging down from the top of the display of their iPad. Well done, Apple.
And more Mac-like forces
Window management, a menu bar and … good file management combined with preview.
Apple decided seriously to fully restore the iPad as a machine to get things done, and finally the high price tag of the iPad Pro seems justified.
Time and again I wrote about the crux of the iPad that is the software, but Apple seems to have listened to the millions of tablet users shouting for efficiency and decided to give the iPad all the attention he deserves.
In iPados 26, compatible devices now have access to preview, one of the best functions of the Mac with which you have quick access to (you already guess) a preview of your files.
Preview is housed in a new files -app that looks more like Mac than ever before, with the emphasis on this next chapter in the story of the iPad.
The iPad has just won WWDC
WWDC is now and disappeared, and although I come to all the important announcements of the event, I can only smile at the fact that for the first time it ever feels like Apple listened to his loyal, patient iPad users.
WWDC 2025 perishes as an important milestone event in the history of the iPad; It is the event where Apple made a decision to push the iPad to new heights.
Now, after all these years, we finally have an answer to the iconic “What is an Apple computer?” advertisement. At the time, the company established in Cupertino wanted you to say “an iPad”, but deep inside we all knew it really wasn’t. Now, however, an iPad is definitely a computer and I cannot contain my excitement.
