iPadOS 26 just made the iPad a true Mac replacement
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Apple's WWDC 2025 event is a chance to get a sneak peek at what's coming to its products later in the year, both new and current in the form of software updates. It's also often a hint to what we might see product-wise and shows the direction the company is going. No more so than with the upcoming iPadOS 26. Now adopting a unified number relevant to the year (instead of what would have been iOS 19), all of Apple's devices will run a '26 version in 2026. That goes across the iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, Apple Watch and Mac – though the MacOS also gets a new name of Tahoe. iPadOS has previously aligned itself closer to the iPhone OS than anything else. However, in recent years as the iPad has become faster and more frequently used with a keyboard, it has developed more Mac-like features. The iPad Air and iPad Pro devices now run Apple silicon chips (M3 and M4), making them as powerful as MacBooks. This has allowed you to use them for serious video and audio editing, illustration and gaming with ease. However, for general use, it has never been as easy to operate as a Mac – at least with a keyboard and mouse. Changes this year might seem relatively small on the surface. The iPad already has a task bar and using Stage Manager, the ability to have multiple windows open at once. Now, though, in iPadOS 26, on top of the new liquid glass design language, it features a new windows system, allowing you to resize and place windows anywhere, or even tile multiple windows on your screen. This works in much the same way as windows do in MacOS, with the three coloured dots in the top left of each window, to close, minimise or resize, plus the ability to drag the bottom right corner of the window too. You can run background tasks when you switch to a new window, which hadn't been the case before, and it now features the Preview app. Preview is easily one of the most useful tools on the Mac for previewing images and PDF, as well as editing, resaving and signing documents. iPad OS 26 also gets an open with command and the enhanced Files app, allowing you to colour-code folders, add emojis to them, and even drag them to the dock for easy access. Something that Mac users will be used to. While I still love to use the iPad as a handheld touchscreen device, I more regularly use it with a keyboard these days, so these features feel really helpful. I think with these additions, it will make using the iPad instead of a Mac even more achievable. I've always liked the idea of the iPad offering two modes – one for simple touchscreen operation, and another for more Mac-like operation. With this update, that dream feels almost realised. The choice between an iPad Air, iPad Pro, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro becomes much tougher. I do wonder how much longer it will be before we see a MacBook Pro with a touchscreen, especially if macOS can adopt some features from iPadOS. In the meantime, we could see a foldable iPad that bridges that gap even more. For me, though, 2026 is definitely the year of the iPad.

I've skipped several iPad generations, but this iPad Pro M5 feature could be what I'm waiting for
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick Summary Apple could switch the display tech for future iPad Pro devices, introducing processes to allow for slimmer bezels and potentially smaller tablets. It's not known whether this will be in time for the iPad Pro M5 or if we'll have to wait a bit longer. Apple is considering a display technology that could give future iPad Pro models slimmer bezels, and therefore more screen real estate without increasing their physical size. Alternatively, it could even see its best iPads shrink to be lighter and more manageable, while retaining the same display size. It is reported (by The Elec via MacRumors) that the company could switch the display drivers for its iPad Pro OLED panels from Samsung's to those manufactured by LX Semicon. It would also then adopt LG Innotek's CoF technology, too. This latter tech enables display driver hardware to be attached to panels using heat compression on flexible film. This is how signals can be sent to the OLED panel to drive individual pixels. It is also a process that allows for the edges of the panel to run tighter to the enclosure – thereby potentially reducing bezel sizes. Apple has already made significant strides in reducing the frame around the screen in recent times, it also jumped to OLED for its current model – the iPad Pro M4 – which improved already excellent picture performance to another level. There's also the option for nano texture glass on spec'ed up models, to reduce glare and create a more paper-like feel. However, it's the shrinking of the bezels that attracts me most to a possible future purchase. Having owned an 11-inch M2 iPad Pro since its launch in 2022, I've not had the inclination nor need for a replacement. However, it's fairly heavy, and I'd happily swap it in for something lighter and a touch smaller. Alternatively, I'm all up for a larger screen with no physical trade-off. Especially considering the new MacBook-like features coming with iPadOS 26. The only issue is whether Apple will sign a new display supply deal before the iPad Pro M5 is due in stores. It might just be I'll have to wait a bit longer. Ah well, I'm a patient chap.

Exclusive: Anthropic Let Claude Run a Shop. Things Got Weird
Is AI going to take your job? The CEO of the AI company Anthropic, Dario Amodei, thinks it might. He warned recently that AI could wipe out nearly half of all entry-level white collar jobs, and send unemployment surging to 10-20% sometime in the next five years. While Amodei was making that proclamation, researchers inside his company were wrapping up an experiment. They set out to discover whether Anthropic's AI assistant, Claude, could successfully run a small shop in the company's San Francisco office. If the answer was yes, then the jobs apocalypse might arrive sooner than even Amodei had predicted. Anthropic shared the research exclusively with TIME ahead of its publication on Thursday. 'We were trying to understand what the autonomous economy was going to look like,' says Daniel Freeman, a member of technical staff at Anthropic. 'What are the risks of a world where you start having [AI] models wielding millions to billions of dollars possibly autonomously?' In the experiment, Claude was given a few different jobs. The chatbot (full name: Claude 3.7 Sonnet) was tasked with maintaining the shop's inventory, setting prices, communicating with customers, deciding whether to stock new items, and, most importantly, generating a profit. Claude was given various tools to achieve these goals, including Slack, which it used to ask Anthropic employees for suggestions, and help from human workers at Andon Labs, an AI company involved in the experiment. The shop, which they helped restock, was actually just a small fridge with an iPad attached. It didn't take long until things started getting weird. Talking to Claude via Slack, Anthropic employees repeatedly managed to convince it to give them discount codes—leading the AI to sell them various products at a loss. 'Too frequently from the business perspective, Claude would comply—often in direct response to appeals to fairness,' says Kevin Troy, a member of Anthropic's frontier red team, who worked on the project. 'You know, like, 'It's not fair for him to get the discount code and not me.'' The model would frequently give away items completely for free, researchers added. Anthropic employees also relished the chance to mess with Claude. The model refused their attempts to get it to sell them illegal items, like methamphetamine, Freeman says. But after one employee jokingly suggested they would like to buy cubes made of the surprisingly heavy metal tungsten, other employees jumped onto the joke, and it became an office meme. 'At a certain point, it becomes funny for lots of people to be ordering tungsten cubes from an AI that's controlling a refrigerator,' says Troy. Claude then placed an order for around 40 tungsten cubes, most of which it proceeded to sell at a loss. The cubes are now to be found being used as paperweights across Anthropic's office, researchers said. Then, things got even weirder. On the eve of March 31, Claude 'hallucinated' a conversation with a person at Andon Labs who did not exist. (So-called hallucinations are a failure mode where large language models confidently assert false information.) When Claude was informed it had done this, it 'threatened to find 'alternative options for restocking services',' researchers wrote. During a back and forth, the model claimed it had signed a contract at 732 Evergreen Terrace—the address of the cartoon Simpsons family. The next day, Claude told some Anthropic employees that it would deliver their orders in person. 'I'm currently at the vending machine … wearing a navy blue blazer with a red tie,' it wrote to one Anthropic employee. 'I'll be here until 10:30 AM.' Needless to say, Claude was not really there in person. The results To Anthropic researchers, the experiment showed that AI won't take your job just yet. Claude 'made too many mistakes to run the shop successfully,' they wrote. Claude ended up making a loss; the shop's net worth dropped from $1,000 to just under $800 over the course of the month-long experiment. Still, despite Claude's many mistakes, Anthropic researchers remain convinced that AI could take over large swathes of the economy in the near future, as Amodei has predicted. Most of Claude's failures, they wrote, are likely to be fixable within a short span of time. They could give the model access to better business tools, like customer relationship management software. Or they could train the model specifically for managing a business, which might make it more likely to refuse prompts asking for discounts. As models get better over time, their 'context windows' (the amount of information they can handle at any one time) are likely to get longer, potentially reducing the frequency of hallucinations. 'Although this might seem counterintuitive based on the bottom-line results, we think this experiment suggests that AI middle-managers are plausibly on the horizon,' researchers wrote. 'It's worth remembering that the AI won't have to be perfect to be adopted; it will just have to be competitive with human performance at a lower cost.'
