iPadOS 16 is a boring update for iPads. iPadOS 17 is the better usable one ( iMessage security (PQ3), widgets on the lock screen in horizontal and vertical modes etc)
Maybe, but that’s not what I asked. Features are utterly irrelevant to me. I want performance and battery life. I wonder how iPadOS 16 was in terms of performance and battery life vs iOS 12, and whether 17 or 18 further worsened it vs 16 or not.
