Major Update Expected for the Next iPad: Could it Finally Function as a Touchscreen MacBook?

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has released a report suggesting that the upcoming iPadOS update will focus on productivity, multitasking, and app window management, aiming to make the iPad more analogous to a Mac. The potential for the iPad to replace laptops has been a subject of interest for many users, and with the speculated enhancements in iPadOS 19, there is optimism that this transition could become a reality.

Despite iPads equipped with powerful M-series processors like the M4 and upcoming M5, the software has lagged behind. However, the forthcoming iPadOS update may bridge this gap and finally demonstrate the tablet's capability as a legitimate laptop substitute, not just in theory but in practicality.
