Apple slapped a new coat of paint on its operating systems at WWDC and called it good — but perhaps there was a chance that it actually had planned something entirely different.

At WWDC 2025, that all changed thanks to what Apple calls "An entirely new powerful and intuitive windowing system." In iPadOS 26 (yes, Apple decided to rename iPadOS 19), users can now easily switch between app windows and organize them like never before.

Apple has once again built in some features into its operating systems that were previously available through third-party apps.

With Google and Microsoft’s developer conferences out of the way, now it’s time for Apple’s WWDC. The Cupertino company is gearing up to unveil new versions (and new numbers) for all its operating systems, as well as taking a second step at convincing everyone it’s a major player in the AI industry.

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.

The Games app is a new video game hub that will come preinstalled on Apple devices. Will this be Game Center all over again?

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is expected to highlight updates to the company operating system and AI services.

Apple's Journal app is finally coming to iPadOS and macOS. The app was announced at WWDC 2023 and launched exclusively on iPhones with iOS 17.2. After almost a two-year wait, Apple has extended support for it on iPad and Mac.
