*** The Official iOS and iPadOS 26 Thread ***

[Capitano]

Kind of disagree with all the youtubers saying this makes the ipad pro like a laptop. It just makes the existing apps easier to multitask, Ipad is still a long way off being a laptop replacement for a lot of users.

its miles off, real laptop users will know the difference is huge. Unless you;re one of these dorky youtubers who only seem to care about video and photo editing

All depends on what your use cases are for laptop.

Latest beta 7 seems great so far, smoother in animations and overall refined

I'm looking forward to trying these in a couple of weeks when they are released to the public.

Those of you on the beta, have you tried your phones with carplay? I hear carplay will support screen mirroring in ios26

My 15 pro doesn’t like this at all. Keep pulling it out of pocket to find it on a black screen then rebooting . Started off one every few days then became more often . Hopefully not just a badly timed hardware problem

Surely it’s a perfect time for hardware failure, any excuse for an upgrade

I doubt there will be much difference. It'll mainly just be bug fixes at this stage of development.

It's going to be quite exciting, I've not seen the keynote, not seen any previews, not read this thread, not seen any pictures of what it looks like!
