(iPad Pro M4 ”11”) I'm snifling whether to do it or not? I have iOS 27 DB6 on iPhone 16 pro and it works great, I'm a little tempted by the window mode in iPadOS 27 (I'm skipping iPadOS 26 because it's a terrible system in terms of errors) does anyone have a comparison of iPadOS 27 to iPadOS 18? How about the speed of action and smoothness?
i have an ipad Air 1st gen (ios 12.5.8)... does anyone know if there's a work around for using and external HDD or pen drive with the ipad, except for SanDisk iXpand...
I have an iPad Pro 11 2018 that I intentionally kept on 15 to keep its performance level, and now there is I think jailbreak capabilities also.
Been trying to sell it but I think people don’t understand the value of it (or I don’t), so I am thinking maybe I will just keep it or give it to my mom
I told myself that it is an iPad so app support matters less because web app is more usable with a proper screen unlike on a phone. And there is no critical apps that is forcing me to consider updating like WhatsApp.
But is this assumption correct? Can I do everything in the browser realistically? Cuz even the browser isn’t updating, like LLM can’t run on the browser, not that important just an example. I also might play games and do some light video editing, iMovie works but eventually might try a different app for that? Are most of them now requiring a higher os? YouTube should work in browsers but what about Netflix and Disney plus? And maybe vpns. It looks like most utilities would require an app?
Anyone doing similar things and have experience to share? Anything would be appreciated.

Apple Intelligence consumed 15 GB of storage space in previous Public beta and with yesterdays update, it takes ~10GB of storage. Disabled Siri too, anyway to get back the 10GB of storage?
Sorry if this has been answered before. Thanks in advance...!!!
Hi All, I wanted to get your feedback on using an iPad as your main computer. I use a PC at work and do mainly project management work say reviewing documents, PDFs, schedules, data reports, email etc. I currently upgraded to a cellular M5 iPad Pro 1TB and this thing can fly! I also hooked up an external OLED portable display from Uperfect with a magic mouse and keyboard. I’d say this setup serves most of my needs.
I feel where iPadOS and iOS can improve on is the Files Management, their Files App is still lacking and slow. The favorites always resets for some reason or gets deleted. I wish it had more of finder type file system set up. Also, I know this is touch first but all the mouse features feel so forced and not fluid. I guess maybe there a reason to use a macbook for work vs. an iPad. Thoughts all? Thanks!
Hello! When I open my Telegram app on my iPad Pro, my messages don't appear on the right side, and I can only see my groups on the left. I can't seem to post or read messages within my groups. Is anyone else experiencing this, or do you have any tips or workarounds? My iPhone 17 Pro works perfectly. Thanks!
Well, that was quick.
Is 26.6.1 even out and I’m wondering if you can get 26.x on iPad 7
I use an IPad 8 and upgraded to IOS 26. Was really ANGRY about the performance hit and no chance to downgrade. Now I installed the new Update and it works much smoother now. Anyone else this experience?
The stolen device protection feature is genuinely a huge improvement for the security of your iPhone and came out over two years ago now.
For those not aware, before it/without it enabled, someone who sees you type in your lock screen code and then steals your phone can use it to reset you apple ID password, and then it's basically theirs. Changing email, turn off or remove your other devices from Find My, etc.
That's a huge vulnerability to leave up to just your lock screen code. Which is why the rollout of stolen device protection in early 2024 on iOS was great. The only thing is, the same vulnerability exists on iPad as well in the exact same way, and stolen device protection still hasn't made its way over.
This seems like a pretty easy fix given that Apple has already built the whole system for iOS, anyone hear anything about when it'll come out on iPadOS?
It takes 100gb! I’ve deleted the safari history, restarted the device. My message list is really small, I don’t use imassage. What the hell is this?
Model is iPad Pro M5 13 inch 256gb, iPadOS 27 Public Beta 3
I'm looking to use a Page Turner to scroll each individual page, in a longer "Pages" document that I use for lyrics, when performing Live!
(I purchased an "Airturn" page turner, which does not seem to be compatible or do the job). I'm hoping someone knows of one that DOES work - specifically with the "pages" app (on an iPad).
Thank you!
When a text field is at the bottom of the screen—especially in apps using Slide Over—it can be uncomfortable to use Apple Pencil because there is nowhere natural to rest your wrist or palm.
I would love a system-wide Scribble panel that can appear higher on the display, roughly the size of the floating keyboard. It could provide a dedicated handwriting surface and adapt its position or angle to how the iPad and Pencil are being held. The converted text would still go into the active field below.
This would make handwriting feel much more like writing on paper and would improve comfort and accessibility across apps.
Apologies for any distortion in the image. It was generated by ChatGPT to help convey the idea.
It can be with or without Bluetooth or a trackpad. Preferably with an attached mouse or trackpad to make navigation easier. Does anyone have any compatible recommendations for me?

Hey all,
I just got my first iPad today! M5 Pro 13 inch, and my iPhone is running iOS 27 beta. Personally I like it, but I’m concerned about what it would do to the battery of my iPad. The battery already to drain a bit fast, but from what I’ve been told it’s because it’s indexing. I didn’t do an iCloud restore or anything, just synced contacts, photos, texts, stuff like that. No apps were transferred.
Should I install this beta? Is it worth it? Or is it too buggy?
Thank you!
