📱 iPadOS 26.2 — EVERY New Feature, Fix & Hidden Change!
iPadOS 26.2 is officially out for the public, and there’s a lot more here than you’d expect — new multitasking behavior, Freeform upgrades, AirDrop improvements, Podcast AI chapters, Sleep Score changes, and more. In this video, I walk through everything new on my M4 iPad Pro, including battery life results and smaller quality-of-life tweaks Apple didn’t highlight.
