Keyboard changed after 26.4.1

Same here. iPad mini 6th gen with iPadOS 26.4.1 and I have the same bug. It’s insane that with a minor release aimed to fix bugs Apple has been able to broke the keyboard this way!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Ok but why does the system data take up half my storage😭

yeah but Android hasn't been selling 64 GB phones at the flagship level since like literally 2017 or 2016 or something. Apple was still selling 64 GB on the iPhone 12. The iPad mini 6. it's just not enough storage. Apple's getting a little bit of better about storage these days though on like Google

I mean he's basically saying it's insufficient hardware and that's true. I don't know what kind of devices using but this is a problem for Apple Apple has been selling devices with 64 gigabytes of storage all the way into like 2024 or something. That's the problem. I don't think 30 GB is that unusua

I'm experiencing the same, and have been slowly documenting my process of resolution with Apple. Hardware was replaced in December (still in warranty). Software issue persists. Onto my third Senior Advisor with Apple at the moment, all three have confirmed this is a KNOWN SOFTWARE ISSUE WITH iPad mi

Hot take: iPad longevity comes down to apps and battery, not the chip. Plan accordingly

I find wifi connection matters a lot on my iPad mini 6. Bad wifi on 2.4 ghz will cause stuttering video and heat up the chip when using twitch, Netflix, youtube. When I switch to a good 5 GHz connection, those issues don't pop up even in the same room and the iPad drains less battery. That said, the

Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread

iPad Air 11/13in M3 vs iPad Pro 11/13in M4? I understand this is excessive, but I am simply just curious on everyone experiences/opinions about it. I currently have an iPad mini 6(64GB).

I have PS5 PRO and iPad Pro. Is Portal a better experience vs Remote Play and native controller.

Sorry, but it’s a you issue. Most probably your WiFi is not setup properly to optimize the Portal connection. Granted, it’s a bit technical, but it’s doable if you understand how. Not rocket science. I have a myriad of devices, including 2 dedicated iPads on telescopic controllers, ie the iPad Pro 1

Touchscreen unresponsive after iPadOS 26 update

Okay, Apple has "resolved" my problem. To do so, they admitted that they have recognised this as a KNOWN ISSUE with that iPad mini model (iPad mini 6th generation), and they do not have any plans to prioritise it in the short term. Given that this issue has plagued me during my warranty period, and

Unable to update from iOS 16.6 to 18.7.8 on iPhone SE 3rd gen

I'm very happy with iOS 26 on my year-old iPhone Pro, but FYI my iPad mini 6th gen from 2021, which uses the same A15 Bionic processor as your 2022-era iPhone, can be a bit laggy at times with the current iPadOS version.

RAM issues with iPadOS 26, anyone else?

same with me on my iPad mini 6. I thought it was just because it has 4GB. Never had this issue on 18. Apple notes had far worse RAM management than Android
