WWDC 2025 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and More

[AppleFan91]

Why can’t preview come to iOS?

Why does the weaker iPad mini get to run a Split View/multitasking but the more powerful iPad Pro somehow can’t? Like it doesn’t even need to offer all the windows, etc. but let us have two apps running together isn’t unreasonable…

Is this all being gatekept for the “iPhone fold” next year?

 

[supergt]

Shouldn't they just merge Mac OS and Ipad OS at this point? This basically Mac OS, isn't it?

They should. But of course they won't. Why? $$$$$$

 

[MacHeritage]

it seems like a lot of changes that don’t really really matter. Mmh.

I'm hoping this means long term bugs are getting taken care of, finally, and making it more stable like a Snow Leopard release. That would be ideal.

 

[UpsetTheAppleCart]

It just keeps getting better! 😱

 

[!!!]

I thought they were gonna add an Audio Mixer like Windows had had since Vista or whatever... but no, your music will still be stopped when something plays in a different app

 

[fathergll]

When are we going to stop pretending iPads & MacBooks aren't the same basic device?

Probably around the same time Apple isn't afraid of them cannibalizing the Macbook sales.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Yes... Apple Silicon can do background tasks.

We know..

We have Macs

 

[TechWhisperer]

Background task finally 👌♥️♥️♥️

 

[PhillyGuy72]

Are they saving Siri for last you think, guys? ;D

Nah, Craig already mentioned Siri's little hold up in the beginning, it won't be mentioned again....until it's completely done. (I assume)

 

[SMH4KIDIOT]

Would you look at that, they finally got the message that iPads are just as powerful as Macs so they need to make it better for multitasking.

 

[macduke]

About time the iPad can do background tasks for a long time! That was one of the most annoying things. Seems like my iPad Pro with 16GB of memory will finally get that memory put to use. BUT it does seem like they will need to focus on battery life for future models if it's going to be capable of more Mac-like tasks.

"Background Tasks API". Jesus just add an option to settings to allow an app to actually run in the background vs devs having to add code to use background tasks.

 

[CloudChief]

I hope that I can add music to the music app on the iPad now

 

[Lioness~]

Like the love iPad and iPadOS gets ♥️

 

[redheeler]

It's time to sell your Apple stocks. Apple seems to have run out of new ideas, and far behind in Ai.
while I appreciate some of the gimmicks, many of them have already been available on Android devices for a long time.. But when other big guys are talking about how to conquer an alien planet, Apple appears to be stuck in tribal skirmishes..

As long as Android and Windows keep the bar this low, it doesn't matter. Android apps literally behave like malware to track users, and Windows isn't much better...

 

[RemedyRabbit]

Best WWDC keynote in years imo. Features I’m genuinely looking forward to using across nearly everything.

 

[turbineseaplane]

This company needs a new, opinionated, Product focused CEO to come in and clean up this dumpster fire mess.

Just layering on and layering on.

 

[Enygmatic]

iPadOS26 won… fight me

 

[octopi]

What do you mean 'You didn't have time.". It's YOUR presentation you daft sausage.

 

[nfl46]

iPadOS 26 WON WWDC 2025!

 

[TechWhisperer]

Yay journal! Finally!

 

[UpsetTheAppleCart]

Journal app for iPad! Yes!!!

 

[tonie walker]

i saw Siri

 

[Coreymac84]

It may finally be time to purchase an iPad after years of waiting. Bring on the new Pro models.

 

[!!!]

"Background Tasks API". Jesus just add an option to settings to allow an app to actually run in the background vs devs having to add code to use background tasks.

I hope this at least comes to iOS (iPhone, so tired of this made up distinction between iPhone and iPad, I want multitasking on my phone)
