Where apps break on the iPad 6th gen
4:3 tablet and landscape layouts
A 4:3 tablet. Test landscape layouts, split-view multitasking, large-screen breakpoints and that phone-only UIs don't stretch awkwardly on the iPad.
iPadOS 17 ceiling web engine
Stuck on iPadOS 17, its Safari/WKWebView is a version behind. Test modern CSS/JS and web views don't break at this ceiling.

Only 2 GB RAM; Safari and webview tabs reload on return. Test that forms and in-progress flows survive a background-and-return.
Apple Pencil and keyboard input
The first iPad with Pencil support at this price. Test hardware-keyboard text entry, focus order and any Pencil/handwriting input.

Testing on the iPad 6th gen
Can I test my app on a iPad 6th gen with 99tests?
Yes. When you book, set the iPad (6th generation, 2018) as a target device. A few active 99tests testers still own one, and we'll match you with a tester on their own phone and SIM.
Do you test on a real iPad 6th gen or an emulator?
A real one — a tester's own iPad (6th generation, 2018), on their own SIM and network. The quirks of this older device and its software don't reproduce on an emulator, a simulator or a stock-device cloud.
Which software version will the iPad 6th gen be on?
Testers use their own device with the updates they've installed. The iPad (6th generation, 2018) launched with iOS 11.3. This iPad tops out at iPadOS 17, so it no longer gets the latest iPadOS version. Every finding in the report records the exact device, OS build and network.
How much does a test run cost?
Fixed packages from ₹9,999 + GST ($129) for 5 × 45-minute sessions on 2 phones or browsers, with a verified report in 3 business days. You can mix the iPad (6th generation, 2018) with other devices in one run.
Why test on the 2018 iPad?
It is one of the most common iPads in homes and schools. Tablet layout, split-view and keyboard input bugs show here that a phone or simulator never would.
