Each fall, Apple typically releases a batch of new software features for its iPhones and iPads, and we're expecting this year to be no different. Based on the rumors and reports that have surfaced so far, it sounds like Apple's next major mobile software update will bring a major refresh to the iPad, similar to the iOS 11 upgrade it launched back in 2017.
Apple usually details its new software updates during its Worldwide Developer Conference, which is taking place from June 3 through June 7 this year. The company typically waits until September to publicly launch those updates, often coinciding with the release of its new iPhones. Last year, it released the public beta of iOS 12 in June shortly after unveiling the new operating system.
Here's a look at what we're expecting to see.
