Along these lines, the Cupertino company prepares to take another great step in this aforementioned way to fuse the best of the iPad and the MAC.
New function in iPados 19
According to the latest leaks, Ipados 19 will bring a function that could mark a before and after for those who use the iPad with a Magic Keyboard: a MacOS style menus bar which will appear on the screen when the device is connected to this accessory. This is ensured by the Majin Bu filter, who has given details that reinforce an increasingly evident trend: the iPad wants to look more like a laptop, at least in regard to the operating system, and that is great news.
The idea of having an upper bar like the MAC is not new, but it is now when it seems to be closer than ever to come true. If confirmed, this novelty would offer a much more familiar interface for users accustomed to the macOS ecosystem, with direct access to system options, contextual menus of application and management tools that are scattered today or simply do not exist on ipados. This possible inclusion would fit perfectly with the previous rumors of Mark Gurman, Bloomberg, who said that Ipados 19 would be “more similar to macOS”especially in relation to productivity and multitasking.
It is no accident that this movement arrives just when the iPad Air and the iPad Pro are increasingly oriented to a professional audience. The hardware has been asking for a software at the height for some time, and this new menu bar could be one of the elements that finally manages to close that gap. The objective is clear: convert the iPad into a tool capable of replacing the laptop for those who already use it with keyboard and mouse, without giving up the simplicity and fluidity of the touch environment when used independently.
The iPad now will be the best Apple product
But the novelties do not stay there. The same source also ensures that Ipados 19 will significantly improve Stage Manager, the multitasking system which allows you to use several apps simultaneously on external screens. Although there have not been many details about how this improvement will work, the system is expected to be more fluid, stable and flexible when reorganizing windows and working with different work spaces, something that users have been asking for years.
The first beta of iPados 19 will arrive predictably after the Keynote of the WWDC 2025the World Developer Conference that will be held on June 9. This rumor, although it is nothing more than that, is quite likely to see the line in which Apple has been working and, above all, because the source from which it comes is considerably reliable.
Ipados 19 will not be a simple update: it could be the definitive step towards the iPad as a real substitute for a laptop. And if you have a Magic Keyboard, prepare yourself, because what comes promises to change your way of working forever.
