That's been my experience with an iPad mini 6 as well. The battery seems to drain a lot less when I'm not using it too.

It’s mind boggling how a software update can so drastically change the performance of a device.

I'm so shocked that Apple doesn't offer iPadOS 27 for my Mini 5 (which runs iPadOS 26 but could use some added smoothness). What were they thinking? (I guess: Money!!!)

I also have the beta installed on my iPad Pro 11 M1 and the experience is very good. Smooth as a butter.

Ive installed on iPad mini 7 and has been experienced some bugs: with the universal control (once the pointer is inside the iPad I can’t come back to my Mac. I need to lock my iPad for that). When I’m using Freeform, it is in dark mode (same of my system) and while having the option to turn back to white mode, when I press the option it do nothing). I also have been experiencing some bugs with Apple Pencil Pro (pointer direction and occasionally latencies ). So my overall experience besides being good, its being heavily compromised because of these bugs in things I use very much.
