Apple has now increased all their prices on the iPad.

Yeah. The base iPad 11 (A16) on my country is now 500€, up from 380€… and the 11” iPad Air is now 800€, the price the iPad Pro used to have… The 11” iPad Pro now starts at… 1300€ 😧

Thank you, they are beautiful, although not sure why IMG_2147 is much bigger in MegaBytes than the other ones…

No problem, I’m glad you like them. 👍🏻. Yeah, maybe it’s something with the way the photographer processed or edited it? I’m not really sure. It looks like it’s a higher MP than most of the others, so that could have something to do with it as well.

I upgraded my 11" M4 iPad Pro to an M5 about a month ago - really glad I did!

To be honest, the M6 iPad Pro looks quite awesome with the already rumored features (2 more GPU cores, a revamped Neural Engine, a much faster memory bandwidth, the vapor chamber, and I hope a minimum of 16GB of RAM).

However, at the starting price of 1299€ that it now has in my country, it’s crazy expensive for a tablet. I’m glad I bought the M2 iPad Pro when this devices were in the range of 800-900€… now the iPad Air is the device starting at 800€, without FaceID, without Pro-Motion, without quad speakers…

So yeah, I would also be glad to have purchased an M5 iPad Pro with the minimum of 12GB of RAM, at a price that was still sane…

Yes it was exceedingly frustrating how poor the battery life became with iPadOS 26.3 and onwards. I tried lots of reboots including hard reboots. I was going to wipe it and do a clean install, but then decided to try 27 beta instead. I’m hoping it will solve things, but my ipad is still indexing so I don’t want to really take it off charging until it is done to test.

My M1 Air seemed to suffer (and still is) with the later versions of 26. No obvious reason but I seem to need to charge it more regularly. Hoping iPad OS 27 sorts this out.

I hope iPadOS 27 solves the battery issue. So far on beta 2 I think it is a bit better than beta 1, but it isn’t where it should be yet.

How is it suffering? I’m curious, I’m running iPadOS 15 on my M1 Air.

Sorry, I meant in terms of battery life. Everything else is great, and battery life isn’t terrible, it’s just not quite as good as the earlier iOS 26 builds. Generally I think iOS 26 is great, and I haven’t had any issues with it on any of my Apple devices.
 
I have the 13" M4. The only issue is battery drain which is significant in my case. This is often noted across devices using any early Developer betas so no surprise. I expect (hope?) the issue will resolve with later iPad OS betas. Right now I seem to drop to 40% or less juice faster than I prefer so attaching to charger is frequent.

Sad. If iPadOS 26 is suffering even relative to the early 26 versions, I can’t even imagine how poor it is relative to iPadOS 15. What? 30-40%?
 
After having the latest beta on my iPad for almost a week something weird happened. I cannot get an internet connection. All my other devices work correctly. I find it odd that it took a week for it to show up. So I'm wondering if it's connected to the beta at all. And I have no way of knowing. Soft resets and anything else I can think of has not worked. So the question is, is anyone else experiencing this where your iPad will not go anywhere even though it shows it's connected. I tried two different connections and as I said my other devices work.

EDIT: did a better search and found lots of people having this issue. The usual fixes do nothing so I'll log it and just wait for an update.

I do not see a separate iPadOS 27 bug thread like the one for ios 27. Persistent bug on the New York Times crossword app. W/O warning, it hiccups and resets. You do not lose any input but in a blink you are sent back to the Main game screen. This happens with iPadOS 27 Beta on iPad mini and 13" iPad Pro M4. Not quite sure where this bug should be reported.

My 5th gen Air’s battery is so much better on 27.0 beta than it was on 26.5 that it feels like 26 was a prank. THIS is the battery life I expect from an iPad.

Hoping my work laptop recovers from what i thought was battery degradation in September… we’ll see.

Found a pre-hike deal on an iPad Pro 11-inch 1 TB M5. It came preinstalled with iPadOS 26 and I intended to keep it on that version until iPadOS 27 came out officially (I didn’t want to hammer my new device with beta software).

Something must’ve been screwed with the factory installation though, because my Home app wouldn’t work (loading accessories and scenes indefinitely), passwords wouldn’t sync, focus modes wouldn’t sync, and neither would messages. I left it on charge and to its own devices for a while, but it became clear something was stuck and not even rebooting would work.

So, rather than clean install iOS 26 I did the (not so) sensible thing and installed iOS 27 beta 2 after all. To my surprise, it gave whatever process was failing a kick up the backside, and the second I got to the Home Screen all my home app scenes were synced, focuses were synced, etc. etc.

So that’s a positive indicator for iPadOS 27 from me!
