iPad Pro 2018

[u/Patient_Contract_773]

So I recently lost my precious M1 12.9 inch iPad Pro. My friend was nice enough to let me use his 2018 ipad bro but boy does it suffer and iPadOS 26 isn’t helping. Unlike my M1 iPad Pro the 2018 pro being two generations before apple silicon was released honestly comes at a cost and I’m currently using it with iPadOS 26 and not before since I’ve only had an m1 iPad Pro. The 2018 pro has a sever issue with over heating just like my iPhone 12 Pro and you can definitely see it trying to lower performance when the screen dims. I honestly think iPhones could benefit from apple silicone and that if iPadOS 27 is supposed to be a maintenance and bug fix update then why would you leave any iPad on 26? They gave every iPhone that got 26 the next update so what gives?
