Questions worth checking
Mac에서 iPadOS 26을 설치할 수 있나?
공개 버전은 iPad 본체의 설정 → 일반 → 소프트웨어 업데이트로 설치한다. 일반 사용자는 Apple Support 절차를 따른다.
호환 iPad 모두 Live Translation을 쓸 수 있나?
아니다. Apple 뉴스룸은 M1 이후 iPad, iPad mini (A17 Pro) 등 지원 기기와 Apple Intelligence 활성화·언어 설정을 요구한다.
백업은 얼마나 자주?
Apple Support는 새 소프트웨어 다운로드 전 백업을 권장한다. iCloud 자동 백업 또는 대규모 업데이트 전 Finder/iTunes 수동 백업.
