iPadOS 18 Features Not Available on Older iPads

iPadOS 18 and Every Feature Not Available on All Older iPads - iPadOS 18 and iPadOS 18 Beta 2 released to developers and have a ton of new features with Apple Intelligence, customization, updates for Apple Pencil and much more, but not all features will be available to all iPads. iPadOS 18 supports iPad Pro M4, uPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen and later, iPad Pro 11 1st gen and later, iPad Air M2, iPad Air 3rd gen and later, iPad 7th Gen and Later and iPad mini 5th gen and later. Unfortunately not all iPads will gain apple intelligence and some other new features. In this video we go over every iPadOS 18 feature that will not work on older iPads. The good news is most iPadOS 18 features work on older iPads. #iOS18 #iPadOS18 #Apple #iPhone.

iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) don’t support iOS 18 but yet the iPad 7 does. While the iPad Pro has A10X, 120hz, 4gb ram that makes sense apple

[@mattybraps7620]

What do you mean? I reckon the iPad 7 should’ve been dropped because it’s got older hardware than the second iPad Pro

[@al821]

This was my favorite iPad. Light, powerful and loved the 120hz.

[@amirtaraj]

I upgraded from iPad 7 to 2017 pro for pro motion and quad speakers, just to lose out on iPadOS 18 😑

[@Semantsen62]

Besides as Aaron says all other iPads will get basic updates I don’t see Developers Beta as of yet to my iPad pro 10.5, 2017. It should be there minus advanced features. (I have subscribed to developer betas)

[@NR20244]

That is actually stupid how the Pro doesn’t support iPadOS 18 yet the 7 does even though I’m not an iPad user. The Pro literally has better specs aswell

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Good information. Blessings on your day.

[@ramashishnaman]

I dont understand that iPad pro 12.9 4th gen with face id and A12Z processor can’t run eye tracking but iPad Air 3rd gen with A12 can run that. How’s that possible?? Is A12 more powerful than A12Z? Even though pro one has face id sensors it can’t run..?😡😡

[@sithikunit]

Fantastic video! I'm using an iPad Pro 11" 1st generation from 2018. Still a perfect device with the addition of Pro Motion.

[@josiahvillanueva2319]

What I don’t understand is that there are iPadOS 18 compatible ipads that cant fix your hand writing but all iPadOS 18 compatible iPads can do math notes which generates an answer with a handwriting similar to yours.

[@xgamez5698]

Yeah, that is hilarious :/

[@simonrobbins8357]

Can they. I can’t get mine to do either. I’ve got an iPad Pro 11 inch fourth generation. That’s supposed to be able to do both handwriting correction and calculations in the calculator but in both cases it converts my writing to text. Does this feature have to be switched on somewhere?

How about Ipad pro 11" 3rd generation? Will it have ipados 18 and will it have issues like yours?

Limiting battery health to new iPads is extremely scummy and transparently anti-consumer

[@MrSeanroberts1969]

Why? Most people obsess about this for no reason

[@adamlxrd421]

Apple.

[@Usmallu4071]

Is it. Apple dont care

[@hullstar242]

@@MrSeanroberts1969 because if I had the setting to limit my battery to 80% the battery would basically last forever and it would degrade significantly slower. I have my iPad plugged in most of the time so when I unplug it the battery has degraded a lot because it is constantly being overcharged

[@alonedb8038]

@@MrSeanroberts1969 Limit 80% is very important for people who charge their iPad all the time, such as people who use their iPad instead of a computer. If you don't have this feature, your iPad will be fully charged to 100 all the time, which results in the battery deteriorating very quickly. Having the 80% limit feature allows us to plug in at any time and play with the machine using power directly from the adapter, not through the battery, so you don't have to be afraid that the battery will overload.

[@rosestines66]

Great video Aaron n happy 4th too

[@thevacdude]

Thanks for the video, Aaron.

[@user-m633]

Thank you Aaron for this video. Highly appreciated. I have doubt why Apple created a monster called M4 chip on iPad pro version with limited options in some apps. for example final cut pro is not the final cut pro in Mac !!

[@spagoo69]

Looking at your reflection on the iPad it looked like you were speaking to a class lol.. Love your videos keep up the good work.

[@d-zone]

the lack of battery health on older ipads it total b$! there's no reason for it not to be on earlier devices.......

[@simonrobbins8357]

How does the handwriting improvement and calculator handwritten calculations work? Do they have to be switched on somewhere? I’ve got an iPad Pro 11 inch generation four and in both notes and calculator it can read my handwriting but it converts it into a standard type face. It doesn’t just improve my handwriting.

[@mattybraps7620]

I’m going to buy the new iPad Air in September! I’m very excited! I’m retiring my iPad mini 5

[@Hardpee789]

I’m using an iPad mini 7, because I like the size.. but absolutely not a fan of the fact that I’m missing tons of features all because it doesn’t have a M series chip. Steve Jobs famously liked small phones, and claimed no one would want to carry around a huge device.. Fast-forward a few years and now if you want a small device, you have to accept the fact that it’s going to be inferior and obsolete. Both the mini iPad and mini iPhone leave you missing features. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I upgraded from my iPad 5th gen (2017) to the Latest iPad Pro M4 13” and Im glad to see a big improvement from speed, screen, everything. The one thing I didn’t like is that it’s super thin because Im afraid that it would break/bend easily. But I’m really happy to see iOS 18 on my new iPad. My Last iPad only supported iOS 16 and it was slowing down alot and battery health is bad. I did spend a lot for the new iPad but I think it’s worth it

When Apple showed off Math Notes there was no "solve" button, it just solved automatically. Is the button just a part of the beta or will that be how it always works? That's definitely not as smooth as how Apple claimed it would be.
