My wife has an iPad Mini 5th Generation, and I have an iPad Air 3rd Generation. After we upgraded to iPadOS 18 both of these units were noticeably slower. My Air is apparently the oldest supported Air model, while my wife\u2019s Mini is at least one generation newer than the oldest supported Mini.<\/p>\n

So is it time to replace mine, or both of these iPads? Given our current finances, we\u2019d prefer to wait, but if we do replace them, is it better to get the latest models of the Air\/Mini (to kick this same decision farther down the road), or to go with refurbished items a generation older (and spend less money)?<\/p>\n

We do have model-specific keyboards, and if I\u2019m reading things correctly I\u2019ll have to replace my Smart Keyboard, and my wife\u2019s generic-ish keyboard\/case no matter which direction we go.<\/p>\n

Suggestions? Advice?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Dumb question, but did you give them a day or two to settle down after the mandatory re-indexing of All the Things\u2122 (including, presumably, the Photos database)?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Also, “noticeably slower” is not my criteria for upgrading. If it’s still fast enough for your needs, then a speed change is academic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The slowness is situational and has gone on since installing iPadOS 18 quite a while back. We do not notice issues with \u201cmost\u201d activities, but somtimes<\/u>, some things<\/i><\/u> feel annoyingly sluggish.<\/p>\n

But your responses have helped me reframe these issues we both have. If we don\u2019t expect our tablets to be on a par with our perfectly good Mac laptops, the slowness isn\u2019t a big deal.<\/p>\n

My only remaining real concern is how long my 3rd Gen iPad Air will be supported by future OS updates. And that\u2019s probably not a real problem until they start hinting at iPadOS 19 coming out \u201csoon\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the reality check I didn\u2019t know I was asking for.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

After some careful attention to when we had slowdowns, it looks like it\u2019s more an issue with background stuff staying active. Closing everything but the app we noticed slowness with banishes the slows – though it hasn\u2019t given us insight into what app was sucking up processor time.<\/p>\n

I mainly noticed slowness when browsing with Chrome. I\u2019ve started using Firefox and DuckDuckGo (their browser) because Chrome tends to get bloaty on desktops so maybe it\u2019s a resource hog on iPadOS? These two browsers are lighter and feel quicker on my iPad, though I haven\u2019t been using them for very long. I guess I\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
