  1. Does your iPad have enough RAM to run Apple's newest AI model? If not, is Siri AI enough for you to upgrade next time around?

  2. I’m not having the greatest luck with the beta it has been very buggy for me for example, toggling off options in the multitasking section like auto hiding the menu bar seems to be buggy and one very frustrating feature I use often is taking a screenshot and doing a markdown in the same moment now when I save it the markdown vanishes away and it does not save the markdown so I have to take an extra step go to photos and mark it down afterwards. It’s quite a frustrating experience so far

  3. I downloaded iPadOS 27 around 4 PM on Monday the 8th and I still haven’t got access to Siri. Also, my iPad is still indexing. I have an M5 11 inch iPad Pro 512 GB model
