I’m going to disagree as someone who nurses a 2017 iPad Pro in its old
age. I’d get hold of iMazing and see if that gives you any options at
this point. I now avoid doing major upgrades to iOS on ipads as they
just get more and more unresponsive each time.
But I’m not sure how to cancel it. Maybe take it somewhere there’s
no internet and see if it lets you proceed through error message
screens? (iMazing does some interaction with OS updates so *might* have
a shortcut through that).
Cheers,

As I understand it Apple suggests that after an upgrade to iOS/ipadOS
26, all versions there is a period of several days while the OS
optimises to your usage. Probably something to do with AI. I know this
to be the case for auto-correct which is doing some sort of on device
AI based context analysis.
So waiting for a while might improve things. Seems speedy on my M2
iPad Pro.

I have an iPad Pro 11” from around 2018, it runs fine on latest
iPadOS, I haven't noticed any significant drop in speed/performance.

Evening all
Wanting to factory reset an old ipad. It”s 5-6 yrs old and I fear
the latest OS might make it less usable and we only want it for
surfing and emails.
Having done the reset it’s asking me to install the update with no
option to decline ans proceed without doing so.
Ang tips how to do so please?
Or perhaps reassurance that it’s ok to update and performance will
be ok?
Thanks
Adam
