I’ve been using the iPadOS 26 beta for the past 24 hours on my iPad Pro 11 with M4, and it has completely transformed my iPad experience. Here’s how.

I’ve been running the very first developer beta for less than a day on an 11-inch iPad Air, and I can already sense a change in how I use my tablet. The new multitasking system is mostly pretty easy to understand.

With iPadOS 26, Apple is moving the iPad closer to the Mac than ever before with a host of productivity and multitasking improvements.

Long-awaited improvements to audio recording on the iPad have arrived with the beta of iPadOS 26, and what was a severe failing is now a big advantage.

After 15 years, the iPad is getting some key software features—like the addition of resizable and movable windows—that help it realize its true destiny.

Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC 2025, and the new iPad update comes with a fresh new look and plenty of features. Apple has ensured there are plenty of iPadOS 26 supported slates, so if you have a relatively new iPad you should get the update this year.

Apple’s latest iPad is very similar to its predecessor, but its two most important changes ensure a strong quality of life.

Looking for a budget-friendly iPad you can use for everyday tasks, like catching up on emails and messages, then reading the latest news before streaming a show? This might be the deal for you. The A16-powered iPad (a model that Apple released just a few months ago) has dipped to $299.
