iPadOS 27 lets iPad work more like a Mac with two new features

Apple\'s iPad operating system iPadOS 27 is set for release next month and changes system-wide usability, including how the menu bar and search are accessed. The update adds an option to keep the top menu bar always visible and keeps the active app name shown in the status area. It also expands the Command-Space shortcut so Spotlight can provide both search and Siri AI functions through a single entry point.

Apple will end support in iPadOS 27 for five iPad models using A12 or A12X chips, including the iPad (8th generation) and several iPad Pro, Air and mini models. The move differs from iOS 27, which will keep supporting all iPhones supported by iOS 26. NineToFiveMac raised concerns about iPadOS 26 as a final version and suggested allowing downgrades to iPadOS 18 or expanding support with feature limits.
