  • I have been putting iPadOS 26 through its paces, and there are some really nice advancements that will make the iPad even more powerful than it already is today.

    Any Mac (or Windows) user will appreciate the new menus at the top of the screen for the active app, and the ability to have multiple apps visible at once makes multi-tasking more useful. The ability to easily resize apps is also a great addition. I also like how iOS apps automatically open as windows instead of awkwardly filling the screen with a ton of empty space.

    That reminds me, Apple, please enhance the Sports app for iPad. It makes no sense that it is an iOS-only app at this point.

    If you have a non-essential, relatively recent iPad, give the iPadOS 26 Beta a try. I think you’ll like it!

  • Apple is adding some great interoperability features in iOS and iPadOS 26 that will make traveling with multiple devices much more user friendly and will make it possible to stream content easily with devices besides those that already support AirPlay.

    Even though this seems super technical, end-users are going to love these features!

  • Peacock v5.2.12 is not able to start videos on my iPad 9 running iPadOS v17.3.1. I am able to search and select videos, but the progress indicator just spins. Interestingly, the app is running fine on the latest iOS and tvOS. Curious if others are experiencing the same thing.
