iPadOS 26: новые функции, совместимые iPad, резервная копия, установка в Настройках

Таблица совместимости на Apple Support. Сначала резервная копия iPad, затем установка в Настройках; Apple Intelligence нужен M1 или новее или iPad mini (A17 Pro).

Кто ищет «iPadOS 26 новые функции обновление», обычно проверяет три вещи: есть ли iPad в официальном списке Apple, есть ли резервная копия перед загрузкой, и установка через «Настройки» на самом iPad.

Apple previewed iPadOS 26 at WWDC 2025. Compatible models and install steps live on support.apple.com/en-us/123706 and apple.com/os/ipados/. Below follows only Apple release notes and Support docs — features, the model table, and the Settings → General → Software Update path on iPad.
