Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Release identity

This article enriches the existing iPadOS 26.3 Beta 3 route dated 2026-01-26. It does not alter the audited timeline date or create a second event.[1]

Sequential archive comparison

The before and after payloads preserve different Apple note states around iPadOS 26.3 Beta 3. The preserved Beta 2 payload has no itemized entries. The Beta 3 payload adds one Continuity known issue with a retained Apple issue identifier.[2][3]

Documented Beta 3 delta

The structured comparison yields 1 substantive item. Each occurrence retains the Apple component, status heading, and issue-number locator used during review.[2][3]

Attribution boundary

The baseline follows Beta 2 and precedes Beta 3; the after state follows Beta 3 and precedes RC. Beta 3 is the only intervening milestone, so the Continuity entry is an isolated snapshot delta.[2][3]
