  • iPhone apps can be resized in iPadOS
  • Liquid Glass has been refined and is more customizable than ever
  • Performance improvements make iPadOS 27 perform much quicker
  • Screen Time has been revamped for managing your child’s device use
  • Brand new Siri with dedicated Siri app
  • Overhauled search experience with upgraded intelligence
  • Active app name now displays in status bar

Hartley Charlton:

iPadOS 27 raises the floor to A14, M1, or later, cutting the 3rd generation iPad Air model from the compatibility list entirely.

[…]

The iPad Pro also sees cuts. […] iPadOS 27 raises those floors to the 4th generation 12.9-inch and the 2nd generation 11-inch, dropping two older Pro models that were still supported just a year ago.

Typo in this post title should be 27, not 26.
