Listen Later

Get ready to experience the future of iPad productivity as Mikah Sargent takes us on an exclusive first look at iPadOS 26's intuitive windowing system that finally brings true multitasking to Apple's tablet platform. Mikah explores Apple's latest iPadOS 26 beta, revealing how the iPad is evolving into a more desktop-like experience with powerful new windowing capabilities and familiar Mac-inspired interface elements.

  • Windowing System - Detailed walkthrough of the new multi-window functionality, activated by tapping a curved "macaroni noodle" icon in the bottom-right corner of compatible apps
  • Mac-Style Window Controls - Demonstration of the familiar red, yellow, and green "stoplight" buttons borrowed from macOS that allow users to close, minimize, and resize windows with precision
  • Multi-App Window Management - Live demo showing how multiple apps (Safari, Music, Settings) can run simultaneously in resizable windows, creating a true desktop-like multitasking experience
  • Menu Bar Integration - Exclusive look at how traditional menu bars have arrived on iPadOS, providing access to app-specific settings, file operations, and system controls just like on Mac
  • Safari Windowing Features - Exploration of how web browsing works in the new windowed environment, including tab management and window manipulation capabilities
  • Settings and Music App Integration - Demonstration of how system apps adapt to the windowing interface, including quick access to app settings via Command+Comma keyboard shortcut
