Apple is now rolling out iPadOS 26, one of the biggest updates for iPad since its introduction fifteen years ago.

Apple has released iPadOS 26, the next major software update for iPad users. Here’s what’s new, compatible devices, and how to install.

Apple has made sure that iPads dating back as far as six years are compatible with iPadOS 26. This goes right back to the 5th-gen iPad mini and 3rd-gen iPad Air that were both released in March 2019.
