Later it slow down your experience ..
Especially for iPad mini 4 because it's the slowest of all and it does not need ipadOS feature. also and somewhat applies to iPad 2017 because it got slower processor This post has been edited by gogo2: Jun 9 2019, 10:54 AM |

QUOTE(attw @ Jun 4 2019, 02:19 PM) iPad 2? Really? I remember iPad 2 very smooth. After dunno which iOS, it is unusable.  QUOTE(dikae @ Jun 4 2019, 05:03 PM) TS should amend title to "don't update to iPadOS... if you're using older apple devices".. Many unknown stuff. Let other try first. Haha on a side note, even latest devices will not have slow issues, but im quite sure the new OS consume more battery...  QUOTE(Sniperwolf1987 @ Jun 4 2019, 07:06 PM) Seriously I don’t really mind to upgrade my iPad Pro 11 to iPadOS because it packed useful features into the device and external HDD/USB support is worth enough the upgrade. That’s true. But having iPad with lower iOS might be more usable in terms of speed. |

QUOTE(dikae @ Jun 4 2019, 09:25 PM) the latest iPad Pros will not be affected by the speed running the iPadOS, it packs overkill specs more than sufficient to run those new features on the iPadOS, on the other hand, battery consumption should be something to be concern about.. iPad pro is ok. iPad 2017 is probably bad idea. QUOTE(acbc @ Jun 4 2019, 09:26 PM) Air 2 already slow with iOS 12. Previously on iOS 11 very smooth. Now it's practically unusable. |

QUOTE(Ludwig. @ Jun 4 2019, 10:45 PM) pretty sure it's the norm nowadays for companies (especially for apple) to handicap older devices in order to push newer hardware. I don't think you can roll back loledalternatively, users could update to new versions/OS-es and try out the performance. if it's bad, they could easily rollback the software. |

QUOTE(jemmi @ Jun 5 2019, 12:57 AM) It is my experienced with Ipad mini2, no choice coz so laggy then bought Mini4. I think it's bad idea to update iPad mini 4. Small screen. Slow device. Bad idea. Worried if this OS will slow down my Mini4.  |

QUOTE(dikae @ Jun 5 2019, 01:40 AM) Haha..small screen is good for some people who need the compact size, but using a laggy one is a torture Yeah but if small screen means those feature like 2nd screen MacBook and desktop feature are harder to use.I am just saying in context of desktop class feature coming to iPad. |

QUOTE(the7signals @ Jun 9 2019, 10:22 AM) Ohh...then i will wait for others’ review and feedback after updating then decide. Thx. Don't update. There is no reason to update for iPad mini. IpadOs is about desktop feature and iPad mini is not meant for desktop workhorse. |
