According to a significant leak from the Apple world, with the release of iPadOS 18 update, Apple is planning to end software update support for some older iPad models. This change may particularly affect the sixth-generation base iPad models and the second-generation iPad Pro models (10.5-inch and 12.9-inch) that use the A10 and A10X Fusion processors.

Apple iPad models without iPadOS 18 support!

iPadOS 18 could cut update support for older Apple A10 and A10X Fusion processor iPad models These iPad models may be exempt from the iPadOS 18 update, meaning users won’t have access to new features and security updates. This news includes a detail that has caught the attention of users and tech enthusiasts.

Interestingly, despite having the same Apple A10 Fusion processor as the sixth-generation models, the seventh-generation base iPad model will continue to receive the iPadOS 18 update. This situation is seen as an inconsistency in Apple’s strategy for operating system updates.

This iPadOS 18 support, causing differentiation among devices with the same processor, raises questions about Apple’s software support policies. Additionally, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch Gen.2 and 10.5-inch models were equipped with the more powerful A10X Fusion processor.

However, it seems likely that these models will also be left without updates. Such a change in the list of supported devices for Apple’s operating systems could have significant effects, especially for users of older iPads. Users may miss out on new functionalities and security improvements.

This information is currently unconfirmed and awaits verification from Apple. However, uncertainties are beginning to arise among users about which devices will receive iPadOS 18 and iOS 18.

This situation could lead to discussions among technology enthusiasts about future Apple updates and device support policies. What do you think about the iPadOS update? You can share your thoughts in the comments section below.
