Rumors are swirling about Apple’s upcoming iPadOS 18 update, suggesting that certain iPad models with the A10X Fusion chip may no longer be supported. This news, reported by MacRumors, has stirred up a buzz among tech enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the latest software developments from Apple.

The speculation stems from a post on X by a reliable source known for leaking details about iOS and iPadOS updates. If this information holds true, some iPads may not be able to run iPadOS 18 smoothly. Specifically, the first-generation 10.5-inch iPad Pro and the second-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2017 could be affected, along with iPads powered by the regular A10 Fusion chip, including sixth and seventh-generation variants.

Although the original post has been taken down, past accuracy of this source adds credibility to the claim. To stay ahead of these potential changes in device compatibility, here is a list of iPads expected to support iPadOS 18:

– iPad Pro: 2018 and later
– iPad Air: 2019 and later
– iPad mini: 2019 and later
– iPad: 2020 and later

Apple’s annual developers conference WWDC is just around the corner in June, where we anticipate getting a closer look at what’s in store for iPadOS 18. The update is likely to roll out to compatible devices in September, bringing new features such as generative AI enhancements for Siri and possibly RCS support in the Messages app.

Stay tuned for more updates as we eagerly await Apple’s official announcement at WWDC!
