If there’s one moment during WWDC 2025 where there was the biggest crowd reaction, it was the introduction of iPadOS 26. Sitting in the audience at Apple's Cupertino headquarters, I couldn’t help but notice the audible cheers that accompanied many of the features announced — especially those that blur the line between iPads and Macs.
You see, as powerful as the best iPads are in terms of their Apple Silicon, a lot of users have avoided switching from a Mac to an iPad as their primary computer. But with iPadOS 26, a lot of those doubts have been erased.
