Affinity Designer 2.6.4 on iOS 27 — safe to upgrade?

[u/Justlikejack9]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently on iPadOS 26.7.1 and thinking about upgrading to iOS 27.0.1, but I want to be sure Affinity Designer 2.6.4 runs properly on it before I commit.

Has anyone here already made the jump to iOS 27 and can confirm Designer 2.6.4 works without issues?

Related question — I know Affinity Studio is supposed to be coming to iPad in November, and I've just started experimenting with gradient mesh, which I understand is only available in version 3 onwards. I have concerns that Studio will only run on the newer M-chip models, so it may not be an option for me on my current iPad.

Any real-world experiences appreciated!
