iPadOS 26 Just Transformed the iPad Mini
From floating windows and drag-and-drop file importing, to full system-level audio routing and a macOS-style menu bar, iPadOS 26 brings powerful desktop-style tools to Apple’s smallest iPad.
Whether you're producing tracks in GarageBand, loading in samples from the Files app, or switching between microphones with an audio interface the iPad Mini can now handle it all.
These changes make the iPad Mini a genuinely portable music studio.
