iPadOS 26 is perfect for the larger iPad model that’s coming

iPadOS 26 is shaping up to be the most significant productivity update ever for iPad users. Its powerful new windowing system enhances multitasking and efficiency, making it a game-changer for current models — and an even better match for what’s coming next.

Apple is reportedly working on a foldable iPad with an expansive 18.8-inch display. This upcoming "iPad Fold" would be the largest iPad ever, dwarfing the 12.9-inch iPad Pro that once seemed massive when it launched in 2015. Combined with iPadOS 26’s robust features, the foldable iPad could redefine productivity and portability on Apple’s tablet platform.
