That's weird. I have an 8th Gen iPad, the slowest device that can run iPadOS 26, and everything is fine on that old thing. (except the OS takes up the majority of the storage)
- thewebguyd 1y agoInteresting. Might try a factory reset then and see. There's noticable lag for me, it's especially slow when switching apps or bringing up the keyboard, as well as on first unlock. Interacting within a single app is still fine, it's interacting with the OS that's really sluggish.
- gosub100 1y agoTotal guess but is there a tiny fan inside that got filled with dust? Maybe it's thermal throttling.
- sgerenser 1y agoApple has never made an iPad with a fan
- NetMageSCW 1y agoHow long have you been running on 26? Every iOS/iPadOS update takes a few days to stabilize.

- radnor 1y agoIt's not new. With every new iOS release the device can often spend a day or two churning and indexing stuff.
- dwood_dev 1y ago8th Gen iPad is about the same on iPadOS 26 as 18 for me, which is slow. The 32GB really handicapped it for even being usable as to even upgrade it, I have to factory reset it first. I'm replacing it with a Mini. The iPad Air 13 with a M3 is a really nice experience. Very fast device.
