Apple Pulls iPadOS 27 Beta for 2 Unsupported iPad Pro Models
3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Jun 10
Summary
Apple removed an iPadOS 27 beta 1 restore image from its developer downloads page after it briefly appeared to support two older iPad Pro models not on the official compatibility list.
The deleted listing named 11-inch iPad Pro 1st generation and 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3rd generation devices, and the IPSW file name also referenced those unsupported models.
A test installation on a 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3rd generation failed, while Apple left its published iPadOS 27 device list unchanged.
That points to a developer-site mistake—possibly from older grouped model labels—rather than a late compatibility expansion like the recent watchOS 27 Series 9 confusion.
