<\/div>\n

We\u2019re about 3 weeks out from when Apple unveiled iOS 27<\/a> to the world at WWDC26, and it\u2019s still safe to say: this is an incredible update. It\u2019s incredibly performant<\/a>, and besides some small quirks and a little battery drain, it feels much more usable than iOS 26.5.<\/p>\n

While iOS 27 does support every device that ran iOS 26, the same isn\u2019t true<\/a> for iPadOS. A number of older iPadOS 26 devices will not be receiving the iPadOS 27 update, which I think is quite a shame \u2013 and Apple should mitigate this one way or another.<\/p>\n
