    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11inch M2 screen rippling issue?

    I picked up this iPad Pro about two weeks ago. And today while I was writing in Goodnotes I realised that there was a 'rippling' effect that was happening in the bottom centre of the screen (portrait mode with Face ID module facing up, slightly above and to the left of charging port). It didn't...

    iPad Any chance for an iPad announcement in the October 30 Event?

    A week ago there were rumors of a new iPad going to be released this week, of course, that didn't pan out, and instead got an Apple Pencil USB-C. With Apple announcing an October 30 event, I'm wondering if the iPad Air and/or Mini will get refreshed this year. An iPad Air gets refreshed every 18...

    All iPads Undecided between iPad Air 4 or iPad 9

    I really need an advice on this one please. I just want a media iPad (for wacthing something or reading a book) which will NOT get used every day, it will not be a daily driver, it will not be there for any work related stuff. Alone for that I guess the iPad 9 would be the better choice, right...

    iPad Pro Using Sidecar ON an external monitor

    I have a Macbook Air and I’m wondering if this is possible. If i get an iPad capable of an external display (probably an iPad pro if I wanted 4k60 external display output), would it be possible to use sidecar ON the external display itself (if I would prefer to use the external monitor with my...

    All iPads Selecting an iPad for College Student

    I’m considering buying an iPad for my daughter but the bewildering array of models is giving me pause. She is a biology and art double major and has a 16 inch MacBook Pro already. However, she is an accomplished artist who in the past used Procreate on the original iPad Pro with the original...

    iPad Air Upgrading iPad Air 4?

    So, I have an iPad Air 4 that I purchased in December 2020 and love. That said, I really would like an M1 iPad to get the full experience of iPadOS 16 and to use Center Stage for video calls (I use my iPad a ton for that). I use the Apple Pencil a lot as well ... if it weren't for the new...

    iPad What's the difference between iPad Air and iPad10?

    Apple can just simply combine the Air and 10gen... The usb-c and Apple Pencil with lightning port is very confusing(Too inconvenient to charge) . Still keeping a 3dot connector at the bottom edge and making a new Microsoft surface keyboard is also weird, thus the vanilla iPad can't use the Magic...

    iPad iPad Air 4th Generation vs 5th

    I am looking at getting a new iPad, just wondering if there is a big difference from the 4th generation with the A14 chip vs the 5th with the M1. I can get a 4th generation refurbished from the Apple Store for $759 for 256GB. The new 5th 256GB is $949. Is the extra money worth it. Using it...

    iPad Air iPad Air speakers for recording?

    I'm getting a new iPad and leaning towards the Air. As I start my Ph.D., I'll mainly use it to read papers and take notes in PDF. However, I am interested in using a tool such as Notability to take lecture notes and possibly even record them. Are the speakers on the Air sufficiently for this?

    iPad Air M2 to iPad Air?

    With the introduction of the M2, I assume it will come to the iPad Pro in the Fall. When do you think we will see the M2 on the iPad Air?

    iPad Magic Keyboard Backlit is Finally Adjustable from Control Centre!

    Today, I updated to iPadOS 15.4 Beta. Just randomly, I opened control centre settings to organize a few controls and……what I saw was that, Apple has finally provided an option to control the Magic Keyboard’s backlit brightness DIRECTLY from the control centre! Previously, the only way to adjust...

    iPad Air So, in what position iPad Pro 11" M1 stands now?

    I saw the apple event and was a little upset! Apple unveiled the new iPad Air and is practically the same as the iPad Pro 11" M1 (I owned months ago). So, my question is: there will be, in a future, a "biggest update" to the iPad Pro? based that Apple already transfer all the power from the Pro...

    Now that LumaFusion has announced availability for Android is coming before summer, which would match perfectly with WWDC's, is there any chance Apple finally brings Final Cut to iPadOS? And if so which hardware requirements are likely to be set for "compatibility"?

    Best keyboard for iPad Air

    Hi All! I’m looking at getting an iPad Air and am wondering what keyboards you like the best. I currently have the grey foldable keyboard cover from Apple for my iPad Pro (1st gen). Important is that it’s relatively lightweight. Thanks!
