iPadOS 27 is here, and after using the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro, I’m genuinely impressed. While iPadOS 26 brought the big redesign and Mac-like multitasking experience, iPadOS 27 focuses on refining the experience with smarter Safari tab organization, Magic Keyboard automation triggers, a new persistent menu bar, Siri AI, Visual Intelligence, improved Sidecar controls, and tons of performance upgrades.

In this hands-on video, I break down all of my favorite new features, show off Siri AI on the iPad, and explain why iPadOS 27 feels like Apple’s most polished iPad update yet.

🔹 Smart Safari tab organization
🔹 Magic Keyboard shortcuts and automations
🔹 New persistent menu bar
🔹 Siri AI and Visual Intelligence

🔹 Sidecar touch controls
