Today during its jam-packed WWDC keynote, Apple announced the release of iPadOS 18. This is the next major version of iPad software, and it will be available in a developer beta later today and free for all users this fall.
Here’s what iPadOS 18 brings to the iPad later this year.
Customizable Home screen, Control Center, and more
The iPad doesn’t have to wait to gain many of the new customization features coming to iOS 18. In iPadOS 18 you can customize your Home screen icons and layout with far more flexibility and tools than ever before. Similarly, Control Center can be configured with exactly the controls you need—including third-party options
Calculator finally arrives on iPad
Apple finally did it: the Calculator app is at last coming to iPadOS.
For whatever reason, Calculator, like Weather before it, was for years neglected by Apple as irrelevant to iPad users. Now its absence in iPadOS is coming to an end in iPadOS 18
As you would expect, Apple’s Calculator app looks a lot like its iOS companion, and takes advantage of the iPad’s larger display to offer more buttons and controls on-screen at once. It also supports dynamic resizing when multitasking on the iPad. Whether you’re using Stage Manager, Split View, or Slide Over, you can make Calculator the best size for your needs.
