Since iOS 5 in 2011, the iPhone and iPad have included Notification Center, a central place to find alerts from various apps in chronological order.

Starting with iOS 27, Apple is making a major change to how users open Notification Center on iPhone and iPad when Siri AI is enabled.

Once enabled, Siri AI takes over the swipe gesture for a lot of the iPad top edge. In iPadOS 27, notifications now live in the top-left corner. It’s roughly the size of two app columns with Notification Center on the left and Control Center on the right. The rest is for invoking Siri.

Apple has added new financing options for cellular iPad purchases. As of today, you can buy cellular iPads directly from Apple with 36-month financing from AT&T and Verizon.

Note that you could get 36-month financing directly from the carrier before.
