Apple iPadOS 27 feature updates

Overview

The iPadOS 27 beta initially introduced interface changes aimed at making the iPad more window- and pointer-friendly. These updates included a setting to keep the menu bar permanently visible and a unified Command + Space shortcut that integrates Spotlight search with Siri’s AI assistant.

Subsequent developments in iPadOS 27 focused on bridging the functional gap between the iPad and macOS. Beyond interface adjustments, the update introduced performance enhancements such as increased speed for menu interactions when using a cursor and significantly faster file exploration and external drive transfers, which reportedly improved by up to five times.
