So as you can see, the new iPadOS 18 should not be compatible with the first generation 10,5" iPad Pro and the second generation 12,9" iPad Pro, which were introduced to the world at WWDC 2017. The sixth and seventh generation of basic iPads will also lose support, as their A10 Fusion chips will no longer be powerful enough for the functions they need. Apple is preparing for its tablets. This is mainly about AI innovations, which should be in iOS and iPadOS is full. But it's worth adding that until the new iPadOS compatibility is officially announced Applem, there is still hope that this system can be installed on older iPads as well.
iPadOS 18 concept
I am not surprised by the death of the iPad 10,5 Pro. First generation. However, a sharp edge for current ipados and ipad 9,7 Pro. After all, they have been with us for a few years.
I wonder how it will be with macos. So that they don't scrap all models with Intel completely. Which can happen. When already Apple runs its M processors.
That's quite possible, but I'm just wondering if it would mean a new Xcode You don't even have to install it anymore (I have the impression that after half a year, you need the latest OS). That would really annoy me, because I don't want to leave Intel just yet.
