Since this is written a little confusingly: those models ship with a special build of 26.0.0 that includes driver support for them. Everyone else already has 26.0.1. Those models will then, on day one, get an update to a special build of 26.0.1.

For example, regular iPads went from 26.0.0 23A341 to 26.0.1 23A355. But the iPad Pro (M5) will go from 26.0.0 23A8330 to 26.0.1 23A8464.

Presumably, either 26.0.2 or 26.1.0 will unify them.

iOS 26.0.2 most likely to be released on 22 October 2025.

Anyway, I'm still on iOS 18.7 and salute to the brave souls of iOS 26.x
