iPadOS 27 review: The iPad gets smarter
iPadOS 27 puts AI front and center, thanks to the new Siri AI and deeper app integration. Though not revolutionary, this update is solid for iPad users.
iPadOS 27 is now available for the latest iPads to support it. This update brings system refinements and a deeper integration of AI, particularly Siri. A dedicated Siri AI app has been introduced, functioning like a regular chatbot, capable of answering questions and taking actions on behalf of the user. During testing, the author found the updated Siri to be handy, although not a heavy AI user.
The child safety features have been expanded, offering more intuitive controls and expanded safeguards, including Time Allowances for app categories, Ask to Browse website approval, Communication Safety, and one-tap access management. Other improvements include the Spatial Reframing, upgraded Image Playground, enhanced Safari tabs grouping, and Siri assistance in Notes.
Overall, iPadOS 27 makes using Apple tablets feel smoother and more personalized, without being a major game-changer.
