The 2018 iPad Pro won’t be getting iPadOS 27, and it’s worth remembering how ahead of its time this thing was.
USB-C before the iPhone had it.
Face ID that the Mac still doesn’t have.
The A12X chip that Apple used to prove Macs could run on their own silicon.
Not bad for a tablet from 2018.

I give the folks at Blackmagic a lot of credit. Not only did they release DaVinci Resolve for iPad, they’ve continued to meaningfully update it alongside the desktop version.
Version 21 adds a new Photo Page with native RAW support and 9 new AI tools, among many other new features.
CapCut Pad is finally available in the US for iPad and Android tablets. Desktop-level editing, 4K 60fps, and free to download, though some features require a CapCut Pro subscription.

With about two weeks to WWDC, I’ve got my iPadOS 27 wish list ready. Not expecting any huge changes this year, but hoping for some improvements to smooth out some of the Pro workflows.
