ipad 10 after update kinda sluggish for the few few days, smoother a bit after that but not close to previous OS. lets see

if still sluggish, might save bullet for next year ipad. hopefully ipad air comes with Pro-motion high refresh rate like the entry iphone 17 getting pro feature screen.

I'm the type of person who holds onto their tech for a long time, so I'm not looking to upgrade every year. I have a feeling the iPad Pro M4 has more than enough power to last for the long haul.

i hope ipad mini will come with OLED and Pro-motion eventually. 

and also the M chip pleaseee. 😂

For me ProMotion alone would be enough. OLED would be a nice bonus as long as they don’t jack up the price.

Yay, iPadOS 26.1 will bring back Slide Over!!
https://www.macrumors.com/2025/10/06/ipados...r-multitasking/

On my iPad mini, I’d gotten so used to sliding my Apple Music window in and out with previous iPadOS versions (almost like muscle memory) that the lack of it in 26 has been supremely irritating. Glad it’s coming back.

Downside is that Slide Over on iPadOS 26 is limited to one window only, so I cannot flip between Apple Music, Mullvad, Things and Calculator like I usually did in the past. Boo

iPadOS 26.1 developer beta 2 has restored Slide Over multitasking to the iPad.

And it works alongside the new windowing system.

When viewing an app’s window resize controls (inside the green traffic light option in the top-left corner), Apple has added a new ‘Enter Slide Over’ option.

This button resizes the window to a typical Slide Over size, and lets you work inside any apps in the background without hiding the Slide Over app from view.

You can also, of course, swipe the app to the right to hide it out of view, pulling it back in when you need it. And you can now resize the Slide Over window to your liking, which is a new benefit.

There does appear to be one big feature missing though, at least in beta 2: you can currently only have a single Slide Over app at a time.

iPad OS 26.2 released

Why is this update version so large? My iPad Pro M4 has about 11GB of storage, and I’m not sure what’s so special about this 26.2GB version.
