Siri AI and system optimizations are the focus of iPadOS 27, but that’s enough for iPad’s usual in-between year. Power users will notice the changes the most.

iPadOS 27 review
The iPad operating system has been on a predictable tick-tock upgrade cycle where one year is significant and the other minimal. Apple focused on Siri AI for its OS 27 releases, but iPadOS 27 still has a few new and useful upgrades.
As an iPad-first user, I’m most interested in how iPadOS might affect my workflows each year. I do have a Mac mini for recording a video podcast, and my Apple Vision Pro is still used regularly for focused work, but the iPad is where I live.
