- I believe today is the day that Apple is to release the "2026" version of their operating systems. I just checked the iPad Mini and it shows no update available. I think the release version of iPad OS 26 was installed on my iPad Air, which I have had the beta versions installed, last week.#
- Checked whether the iPad is available on the iPad Mini at 4:45 PM EDT and it is currently downloading.#
- Installation went as expected with no problems. I don't have an emotional reaction to the glass-like UI changes but I don't know the translucent background of notifications makes notifications better. Same for the control panel. #
- Am I the only one to think the icon for the Journal app doesn't make sense? #
- I enabled the windowing mode, which I was curious to see on the iPad Min so I tested with my primary two window use case, displaying two fantasy football apps (ESPN and Yahoo) side by side. The authors of these apps force them to be in landscape by default, which I hate, so that makes landscape side by side not look like it does on the Microsoft Duo, but I think top down in portrait is workable. I wish the ESPN app fonts weren't so small or there was a way to zoom in a window on the Mini. #
