iPad versions and operating systems

While the SinePoint Pro may continue to run on older iPads, we recommend using a device manufactured within the last 4 years for the best performance and reliability.

Supported iPad operating systems (iPadOS)

Latest: iPadOS 18

Minimum: iPadOS 15

⚠️ Please note:

Features like FaceCheck, FastTrack and ID scanning will perform significantly better on newer devices. Newer operating systems can also run slowly on older iPads.

Supported iPad models

To run SinePoint Pro, the iPad must support iPadOS 15 or later. This includes:

  • iPad (7th generation, 2019) or newer

  • iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019) or newer

  • iPad mini (5th generation, 2019) or newer

  • iPad Pro 11" (1st generation, 2018) or newer

  • iPad Pro 12.9" (3rd generation, 2018) or newer

  • iPad Pro 13" (M1, M2 or M4 models)

Recommended iPad models

We recommend iPads released within the last 4 years, including:

  • iPad (10th or 11th generation)

  • iPad Air 10.9" (5th generation) or newer

  • iPad Air 13" (7th generation) or newer

  • iPad Pro 11″ (3rd generation) or newer

  • iPad Pro 12.9″ (5th generation) or newer

  • iPad Pro 13″ (M4)

These models offer faster processors and better camera hardware, which improves reliability and speed for key Sine features like visitor photo capture, badge printing, and document scanning.

What “supported” means

We actively test and maintain SinePoint Pro on devices running iPadOS 15 through 18. Devices that can’t update beyond iPadOS 14 (or earlier) are not supported. Bugs reported that are based and siloed to older operating systems are not prioritised to fix.
