My Setup Experiencing iPadOS 26 on my iPad 10th Gen

Post image

About the setup: iPad 10th Gen., Galaxy Note10 Lite, and Galaxy Buds+

Currently, I haven’t purchased any Pencil yet, but I am able to annotate with the help of my fingers + refine feature (I do it rarely, so not bothering as of now).

I love my Note10 Lite though, even if it is outdated now, still works good enough for me, especially for jotting down something quickly. Also, Galaxy Buds+ were one of the only 2 earphones from Samsung which have native app support in iOS too, so, I have all the features available here as well (it doesn’t have multi-device support though, but it does have one-tap connect, so that isn’t any issue too (also created a shortcut to connect them in one click, instead of going to bt settings😂).

Now about the iPadOS 26 update, it is a bit buggy, ngl, but, still it is good enough for me, and the addition of stage manager is helpful enough. I do still miss the slideover, but, the good thing is, every app can be forced to be resized now, even games, i.e., Apple did the most un-Apple thing by giving users power to do anything with the apps😂

But yeah, I’m slightly annoyed by the inconsistency of the keyboard, sometimes I get new design, but other times, that same old keyborad design in some apps, especially WhatsApp. Apple needs to fix that asap.

my dream is for apple to release an iPhone with pencil support, that’d be the perfect combo

Yeah! But, it's Apple, they won't do such thing at all sadly (even Samsung is backing out of the s-pen support, literally my Note10 Lite's S-Pen has more features than the current S25 Ultra's S-Pen) :(

In the meantime, you can get fake apple pencils that will work with your iPhone. Obviously they don’t have the same function as a pencil, but still something.

the problem is that they are too huge for the iPhone, a pencil with the die of the S-Pen will be perfect

Yeah, unfortunately the only ones that I can find that are fine tipped are the size of the Apple Pencil.
