Considering the updates to iOS 26 and MacOS Tahoe, it is not surprising that Ipados 26 also gets its own makeup. But Apple calls this update “the biggest edition of iPads ever”, and we don’t think it’s just a PR talk.
The updates to iPads 26 include The refreshing design of liquid glassNew Windows System, Apple Intelligence Functions, File Management Improvements with Preview, and Audio/Video Recording for Creators. Overall, iPads 26 makes the iPad feel more like a mix between iPhone and Mac, unlike one giant iPhone.
People who use their iPad for work or school can be relieved to hear that the iPad will finally get their own version of folders, the preview app, and more intuitive window screens, making it easy to use the iPad as a Mac. Preview makes it easy to edit and mark PDFs, while the Files program now allows users to drag any directory to the dock or set a default application to open specific types of files.
With the new window control, you can see all your open windows at a time, then tile them intuitively to help you multitask. These window controls also match a stage manager, allowing users to organize their windows into specific stages or work on multiple screens.
In addition, IPADOS 26 will be increased by Apple Intelligence functions, which include live translation on the phone, FaceTime, and messages, which allows you to follow together in conversation with automatic generated translations while still hearing the voice of the other human being.
The updates to iPads also include some creative friendly features. Now the iPad will be able to perform computer -intensive tasks – such as exporting a Final Cut Pro video – in the background of other tasks.
When it comes to recording audio and video, the iPad now allows people to choose custom audio and video inputs for various programs and websites. You can also use voice isolation features to get a more currency sound, and Apple claims that using AirPods 4 or AirPods Pro 2 will provide “studio quality” recordings.
Podcasters will be of particular interest to the local capture function. In any video conferented app, users can produce and share audio and video recordings that use Echo -cancellation of the audio of other participants. If this feature can also properly capture and put together the other users’ audio files and video files, then the iPad could become Riverside murderer.
