Being reckless and a looming but complete deadline I took the plunge. I have a current Logic Pro project with 90 tracks and a variety of apps.. synthmaster 2, twin 3, dagger, obxd, Viking, swam, Ba-1, iSEM, moogs, ting, slammer plus a host of fx. It all works just as well as before. Actually it feels a little snappier on an M1 but I guess that’s subjective.
Nothing seems broken so far.
Thank you for that report, @timforsyth.
That’s wonderful! Guess thr M1 has enough horsepower still to run IOS26 and beyond hopefully
Yes it does. Seems to be the same.
The only thing I’ve encountered with it is that you have to be mindful of where you double tap on the stop button to take it back to the start. If you doible tap towards the bottom half of the button it works as designed. If you double tap a little higher it goes into the seperated window mode which you can double tap and it returns back to full screen. Yoi then need to wait a couple of seconds for the file menu options to disappear.
I reinstalled it after the update because I had uninstalled it previously and the install process appeared to be a lot quicker this time around. I hope it gets a bit more development love, it’s still solid.
I had the same feeling and I’m using an M2 iPad Pro. The entire operating system appears to be more zippy and fluent than before.
Installing the update has worked for me. The OS hangs after install on the Apple Logo.
I tried UPDATE and even RESTORE (loosing all app data) and it re-installs iPadOS 26 rather than the IOS 18 I was running successfully before update.
I can't get an install file for the Mac for IOS 18. I have an appointment at the Apple Store to get rolled back to IOS 18. Apple should support a restore to the prior OS.
I had similar results when I attempted the Beta iPadOS 26 a few weeks back. I was hoping
the official version would fix my problem. I must be a Model specific issue. I have the iPad Pro M1 model with 1 TB of storage with a Smart Keyboard attached (and unattached).
I have the same model with no problems to report, so you might have device-specific issues, perhaps some corrupted memory or storage. Hope the Apple Store can get you sorted out.
Not that it's helpful at all to you at this juncture, but FWIW I invested in iMazing and have been using that to do device backups before major updates. Gives you more rollback options, and can do things like extract application data that's otherwise hidden. I like to live on the bleeding edge update-wise so it gives me a bit of a safety net.
Totally forgot about that. I might have to get a new license though as it only works fir one gadget a time.
I was surprised to learn that Apple will NOT roll you back to a prior OS after the new release has issues.
So, the Tech advised I install without using any of the prior files in the iCloud Backup which takes a few days to re-install since I end up downloading 500+GB of apps and data to get back to where I was. So, I have the basic Apple suite of tools and since I used my Apple ID I get the saved iCloud Files where also my StaffPad projects are archived. I installed that app and tested a couple scores for loading and playback and came home to continue to slowly re-build over the next week or so.
The working theory of my situation is that my iPad picked up a bug that keeps being re-loading from back up and corrupts my runtime. Seems to fit the facts since so many are running iPad OS 26 without issues.
Having Inter App Audio fun with iPadOS26 (for those apps that still work - having trouble with original Magellan and Animoog) - treating them like AUv3 with floating windows on AUM!
Caustic still running strong!!
Oh wow! So awesome!
Sounds plausible. Hope you get your work back! Starting over from scratch can be freeing in a way, but it’s a major PITA too.
Does anyone also notice more battery use on an iphone after installing ios26?
Any tips?
Likely too be the case for the first day or few while there is housekeeping activity.
@Meek3 I don’t notice any degradation after updating iphone 14 a couple of days ago, but I disabled all I could find of animations and transparency (not much) and my model I’m told doesn’t support any of the fancy AI stuff
Battery usage stats tells me I’m using less battery than usual, if it’s to be trusted
How did youdisabled that?
I did not notice unusual battery drain after installing iOS 26 on my iPhone 16 Pro.
Because it’s last year’s model, I updated my iPhone immediately: I just assumed it would be fine, and it has been. It’s my older M1 iPad Pro that I’m more cautious about. So far, the reports here have been positive.
I just searched transparency in settings and turned off all I could find
I also always have stuff like siri, automatic updates, icloud backup and such disabled, and I was pleasantly impressed this time apple didn’t stealthily turned those back on, like in some previous updates
It’s been pretty common for me to see a bit of decreased battery life the first couple of days before an update. Things are still optimizing, files being downloaded and synced, etc. After that it is business as usual.
Yes. The colored folders thing is huge for me also. Much needed improvement.
I think I found the problem... You have 14,667 unanswered emails.
I like a lot about the operating system, but I do miss the slide over option. It was handy on a smaller screen to slide something out of the way and then drag it back in to view when I needed it. I like being able to select the default program to open a file type. The transparency is quite nice too.
I know 🤨
Hope its nothing important.
Planned obsolescence has been widely heard of and discussed, but never actually proven. “Batterygate” was Apple getting “caught” adding a feature to try to increase battery life on older devices by throttling the CPU. It’s like the U2 album they put on everyone’s phone. The rollout was fumbled, a lot of people didn’t want it and got mad, but it was not actually a crime against humanity like it was represented (at least I don’t think so, I never listened to the album). No one has ever, to my knowledge, provided real evidence that Apple has engaged in “planned obsolescence” shenanigans.
Do they continue to push new features, sometimes of dubious value, that require ever greater hardware resources? Yes! It’s annoying! Also, the whole industry does this. Apple pretty much had to graft on all this AI bullshit to “remain competitive”. On the other hand, I’m on year four with my iPad Pro 5th-gen (M1) and it’s running iPadOS 26, runs all the new features, performs great, and has fine battery life, especially considering its age.
All of my devices, from my Mac to my watch, burned extra battery for a day or so following the 26 update. They’re all fine now.
That said, Logic was acting a little non-deterministic with me today, with instruments/tracks going silent and coming back after a reboot. Saw this with several AUv3’s, though not consistently from one project to the next.
Anyone notice anything similar? No audio interface, this was while playing through the iPad’s speakers.
The main negative thing I've noticed since updating my M1 iPad is that it's much slower to boot than normal. Even though I've rebooted it 7 or 8 times over the 4 days since I installed the update. It now takes about 90 seconds to boot each time whereas before it was always incredibly fast, I'm guessing 20 seconds. In fact, just now I decided to time my boot up and had something even scarier happen. The Apple logo was still there after 5 minutes! I did a forced restart eventually and it rebooted 'normally' again, but it's still a lot slower than it used to be. Overall I'm glad I upgraded, though, I like the windowing feature. Liquid Glass in the control center is ugly imo, but if I'm not looking at the control center it mostly doesn't bother me.
My M1 took about 25 seconds from button press to logged in just now, though the UI was a bit hinky for about 10 seconds after that. I personally predict that Apple’s going to spend the next couple of years backing away from most of the Liquid Glass effects, and we’ll remember it with an eye roll after that.
25 seconds sounds normal enough, I dunno why mine are so slow. Good to know not everyone has to put up with that shit lol
My Air 2 is on 18.6.2, and Logic (latest) is buggy. It always has been for me.
I’m putting a live set together using Live Loops, and the editing section becomes unresponsive after a few minutes, so I have to quit and reload the project regularly. Not an issue on my Mac.
I just booted this Air 4 (still on iOS 16), and it took ages - thought it wasn’t going to get past the logo.
Maybe there’s a connection to the server that’s slow today, or something.
I can’t find any music production related advantages to iOS 26, so I’ll keep my iPad on 18.7 because everything is working. If someone releases Nave 2 as AUv3 but requires iOS 26, I’ll think about it. Full Alchemy would entice me as well. Some tweak to aesthetics called Glass and folders in the Music app…? Wha…?! Apple’s not even trying anymore.
