Apple Teases Major iPadOS 19 Updates Ahead of WWDC 2025: Siri, Menu Bar, and More
Apple's iPadOS 19 will debut at WWDC 2025, bringing a redesigned Siri, new menu bar, enhanced multitasking, and modern visuals.
Apple is preparing to give its iPad lineup a major productivity and design upgrade with the introduction of iPadOS 19, which is expected to be officially unveiled at WWDC 2025 in June. With a strong focus on enhancing multitasking, usability, and artificial intelligence, this new software update is shaping up to be one of the most transformative since iPadOS was first separated from iOS in 2019.
Here’s a closer look at the four key improvements reportedly coming to iPadOS 19:
1. Smarter, Context-Aware Siri
Siri is also in for a significant transformation. The virtual assistant in iPadOS 19 will benefit from advanced AI enhancements, including hundreds of new in-app actions, better on-screen context awareness, and personalised responses based on user habits and activity. These improvements were initially slated for iPadOS 18 but were postponed due to internal testing delays. Now, with iPadOS 19, Siri is expected to deliver a more conversational and functional experience, bringing it closer to current AI standards.
2. Mac-Style Menu Bar for Improved Productivity
The biggest and most talked-about addition is a menu bar similar to macOS, a move that directly addresses long-time user feedback seeking more desktop-class functionality on the iPad. When paired with a Magic Keyboard, the menu bar is expected to surface automatically, offering quick access to app functions and system tools. Interestingly, Apple may also extend this feature to touch-only users, boosting multitasking efficiency for users who rely solely on the touchscreen interface.
3. Stage Manager 2.0: Smarter Multitasking
Apple introduced Stage Manager to iPads to enhance multitasking, but the feature received mixed reviews due to its complexity and learning curve. Now, Stage Manager 2.0 is set to arrive with a refined user experience. While detailed specifications remain under wraps, early reports suggest a more intuitive interface and smoother app-switching capabilities—ideal for users who juggle multiple apps for work or creativity.
4. Visual Overhaul with “Glass Effect” Design
Aesthetic changes are also on the horizon. iPadOS 19 will introduce a refined visual design focused on consistency and polish. Inspired by Apple’s VisionOS, the new UI will reportedly include a "glass effect", offering a sleek, modern appearance without compromising familiarity. This redesign aims to make the iPad interface feel more unified across Apple’s ecosystem.
iPadOS 19 Release Timeline
While the official release date is yet to be confirmed, Apple typically rolls out its iPadOS updates in September, shortly after its iPhone event. Based on previous years, iPadOS 19 is expected to go live around September 15 or 22, 2025. The update will likely follow public beta testing over the summer following its WWDC preview.
After a series of incremental updates in recent years, iPadOS 19 signals a bold new chapter for Apple’s tablet platform. With deeper multitasking features, smarter AI, and an updated visual identity, iPad users have a lot to look forward to in 2025.
