A Love Letter To iPadOS 26

The latest iPadOS has changed the way I use the iPad.

The most exciting piece of news for me out of WWDC 2025 was iPadOS 26, because Apple is finally including features that many users have been asking for: proper window multitasking.

They also added the menubar and improved the Files app, which is just icing on the cake. In other words, it's making iPadOS more like macOS and closer to the dream device that I wrote about years back. This matters to me because I have always regarded the iPad to be the most impressive device that Apple makes. The latest iPad Pro is a stunning piece of hardware. It's just 5.1 mm thick, and yet it's powered by the desktop-class M4 chip. And then there's its gorgeous Ultra Retina XDR display. A strong case can be made that the iPad Pro is the most advanced device that Apple makes, which is a real pity because it's hampered by iPadOS's various limitations and quirks.
