iPadOS 26 introduces crucial upgrades for the iPad Air, unlocking its productivity potential. The new multitasking system provides windowed experiences similar to computers, allowing intuitive management of apps, including resizing and snapping to screen halves. The improved support for mouse and trackpad, alongside an upgraded file management system, further enhances usability. Installers of the developer beta report immediate benefits for their workflow, although final features may change before the public release, promising a transformative experience for iPad users.
For the longest time, the iPad has been a product that I've wanted to add to my workflow but couldn't due to its rigid operating system.
The new multitasking system, better support for mouse or trackpad, an improved file management system... tell me yes.
The new Windowed multitasking system is close to what you'd expect from any Windows or MacOS computer.
You can also grab the top of an in-use app and toss it to either side to automatically fill half the screen.
