Apple today released iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3, the latest updates to the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 operating systems that came out in September. The new software comes almost two months after Apple released iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2. The new software can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Oh haha no this is hundreds of iPads across a number of locations, and a lot more harassing folks than I’d like to get their devices turned on so they can update and meet our audit requirements.
You would think if I’ve had to contact your department the last three updates in a row to get it done, and the only check ins I see for months are during the updates, maaaaybe your team doesn’t actually need these devices, Brad, but no their VP just has to have them.
This is not something I’m looking forward to as our company grows. Auto update on Mac’s and iPads don’t work for shit. That’s one thing Microsoft has going for them.
We’re using Jamf and it makes it at least tolerable. Make sure to get Apple Business Manager going so you can load devices in as Supervised, otherwise you lose the little forced update controls you have. But yeah when Intune looks like the reasonable solution it’s all bad.

Ugh, Brad is the worst
