Report: New iPad with A18 chip still on track to launch in first half of 2026

And I’m still on 9th gen I have two iPad 9th gen as well, which have 3 GB of RAM. Compared to our iPad 9th Gen, the upcoming iPad 12 gen is expected to have 8 GB RAM, 2x performance and 2x storage. I think we'll be upgrading. I use mine for reading, which reading is fine, but I manage so many books

The game keeps crashing.

I've played since launch mostly on a variety of iPads and this has been a constant problem for me until recently. I think the game is just poorly optimised for the relatively low RAM present in Apple devices and it's only gotten worse as they've added more content over the years. It became almost un

iPadOS 26 has ruined my iPad experience

Same, my iPad 9th gens became a stuttering mess scrolling any social media feed on iOS26 and there are so many glitches with the keyboard and Safari; apps reloading all the time multitasking - I won't get another Apple device I've had enough.

What the hell is going on at apple - iPadOS is a bloody mess.

It takes my iPad 9th gen to zero % battery overnight. Never had this problem until updating to OS 26. I did send a message to Apple. Starting the transition back to Android with a new Galaxy tablet.

Hello, MacBook Neo

This is a tempting replacement for my aging iPad 9th gen. I never really used the Apple pencil much and I would rather have Mac OS than the sloppy hybrid iPad OS.

8 GB is enough for most people.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max also only comes with 8 GB, and you can play music just fine. Apple can provide a decent macOS experience with 8GB of memory, but I would not bet on it. Maybe a few major macOS versions down the line they kill the Neo with a slow update, like they did to my iPad 9th Gen with iOS

Black or White?

I’ve always been a white and silver fan. My phone, Mac, first iPad, and my mini are all Silver/White models. My iPad Pro and Air and my 3rd owned iPad (9th gen) are all Space Gray. (Got the 9th in it because silver with black bezels is a no no for me with Home Button iPads, accidentally got it for t

What should I do?

Should be fine to plug in and see how bad it really is. Realistically fixing a first gen 11 will likely be more than buying a 9th gen or 10th gen around facebook or whatnot since price is an issue. If you really need the PRO series for the editing features....I'd look into cloud based options for su

Where is the keyboard?

Just tried (also have the air M3 with iOS 26) When I try and enter touch ID setup ... No on screen keyboard. (But no problem for normal login) Took a picture ... But can't attach to the post. So good thing is that your not alone (so hopefully apple will find out) ... Bad thing is it's not working. P
