I already updated my 8th gen to the latest 18.7.1 but it’s even slower than 17.7. Now my iPad 9th is currently on iPadOS 17.7.2 and it’s pretty fast and usable. My concern is should I update it to 18 before they stop providing the ota? The alternative 26 is even heavier and I refuse to install it but even 18 scares me since it destroyed my 8th gen. I consider that from the A12 and A13 there is only 13% of difference in performance so my fear is if I update my 9th gen to 18 I’ll ruin even this iPad
