I've Tried Making My iPad an Almost Mac With iPadOS 26 Beta
JUL 24 – Public testers can try new features and design updates in Apple’s latest software betas, released after four developer cycles to collect user feedback before final launch.
- Apple released the public beta of iPadOS 26, which introduces Mac-like features, flexible windows, and a new Liquid Glass design, available to supported iPads now.
- This beta follows developer versions launched in June and prepares users for the full release expected this fall while reminding them to back up before installing.
- IPadOS 26 enables more multitasking with up to 11 apps open on devices like the M1 iPad Air and improves app communication through Apple Intelligence.
- Despite relative stability, users may face app crashes, glitches, and reduced battery life during the beta, so feedback submission is encouraged to improve final software.
- This update suggests Apple’s ongoing push to make iPads closer to Macs, but users seeking stable performance should await the full iPadOS 26 release in the fall.
