Reports suggest that Apple is set to discontinue support for several older iPad models with the upcoming iPadOS 18 update.
Previously, there were rumors circulating that certain iPads, particularly those equipped with the now-discontinued A10X Fusion chip, might not receive the upcoming iPadOS 18 update.
It is now believed that the 6th generation iPad, along with the second-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the first generation 10.5-inch iPad Pro, will not receive the iPadOS 18 update.
