Leaker Majin Bu has printed a weblog put up with just a few new particulars about iPadOS 19 and iOS 19, and the way they’ll work to enhance multitasking and productiveness.
The primary rumor considerations iPadOS 19, which we’ve already heard will function improved multitasking and extra “macOS-like” capabilities, whereas not really operating or copying macOS. Bu says this can take the type of what he calls “Stage Supervisor 2.0” (we will see Apple calling it Stage Supervisor 2, however most likely not 2.0). This may reportedly activate robotically when a keyboard is hooked up, although we presume you’ll be capable to set off it with no keyboard by utilizing the Management Heart, as you may at this time.
When docked with a Magic Keyboard (and perhaps any keyboard?), iPadOS 19 may also present a menu bar on the high of the show, simply as Macs do. This raises all kinds of questions—will there be menu bar utilities for iPadOS 19, for example?
Transferring over to the iPhone, Bu says iOS 19 will deliver an enormous enhancement to the way it operates with an exterior show. Because it stands, you need to use the USB-C port to attach an exterior show, however it merely mirrors your iPhone show (this function dates again to a lot older iPhones when utilizing Lightning-to-HDMI or digital show adapters). With iOS 19, the exterior show will reportedly present an expanded view, one thing Bu calls a “Stage Supervisor-like interface.”
It’s not clear how you’ll management this view, as your iPhone (the only technique of enter) would presumably present the identical single-app view it all the time has. Maybe when utilizing an exterior show, your complete iPhone’s display screen will turn out to be a keyboard/touchpad just like the Apple TV Distant app, whereas the show reveals a multi-app interface? The rumor makes it sound like lower than the total desktop mode of Samsung’s DeX mode, however nonetheless an enormous step up from the straightforward iPhone mirroring we’ve at this time.
All of those modifications are in service of offering a extra constant expertise throughout iPhone, iPad, and Mac, one of many key targets of the large redesign coming to Apple’s working techniques this fall. Apple will unveil the brand new working techniques on the WWDC keynote on Monday, June 9.
