Apple is launching iPadOS 26 with a major overhaul that enhances multitasking and windowing, making iPads more like computers. The lineup includes the affordable iPad 11, the balanced iPad Air, and the premium iPad Pro, all supporting the new features, with prices ranging from $299 to over $1,099.
iPadOS 26 expands Stage Manager to more iPad models, including iPad mini (5th gen) and iPad (8th gen), offering enhanced multitasking with a new windowing system and broader compatibility, while maintaining the feature's availability on higher-end models.
Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC 2025 with new features like window resizing and a menu bar, supporting various iPad models including iPad Pro (M4), iPad Air (M3), and iPad (A16), while the 7th-generation iPad will no longer receive major updates.
iPadOS 18 is rumored to drop support for iPad models equipped with the A10X Fusion chip, meaning it would not be compatible with certain older iPad Pro and regular iPad models. The update is expected to be compatible with newer iPad models and may include new generative AI functionality for Siri and RCS support in the Messages app. Apple is anticipated to announce iPadOS 18 at WWDC in June and release it in September, with the same source expecting iOS 18 to be compatible with the same iPhone models as iOS 17.
