    All iPads What's your iPad / iPadOS Wishlist?

    Intro I’ve been building a list of iPad features, and am curious to see what other want from their iPads. I’m more of a power user, but some of these pertain to a better experience for many types of users. My Situation: I'm a log time Mac user, and IT processional. I recently bought an iPad...

    Can Smart Folio keyboard use as a universal control device in Mac?

    I have the Smart Folio keyboard connected to iPad Pro (M2 version), and in both the IPad and Mac (MacBook Air 2022, MacOS 16.1.1) universal control is turned on. The trackpad works fine across device. The keyboard in the Mac works fine too. Even the bluetooth keyboard works fine. However, the...

    Can updates still be fully turned off? Impossible in iOS 16 now.

    For iOS 16 the ’Automatic Updates’ fine text states: The key part being “Some system files will always be installed automatically, even if “Security Responses & System Files” is turned off.” Is the fine text identical for iPadOS 16?

    Tilting eraser in Notes in iPadOS 16.1

    I’ve posted this on reddit as well, but it might be more engaged with if I post it here. I have the 3rd generation iPad Pro 11-inch. It’s disappointing to find that the ability to tilt the Apple Pencil in the Notes app in order to adjust the size of the eraser is now completely gone in iPadOS...

    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 Pro Just ordered iPad Pro 11, 512GB cellular to replace 2020 iPP 11

    After more than two years of near daily tortuous use for my work, my 2020 iPad Pro 11 has been rock-solid reliable. Saltwater and south Florida hot sun didn’t bother my iPP 11 at all but the upgrade from 4G to 5G cellular as well as the WiFi upgrades make the upgrade to the 2022 model worth it...

    Davinci’s arrival on iPadOS

    Well it’s certainly an interesting development.. Now question’s remain: * Pricing * Release Date * Which iPads Support This * Full Fledged or Cut Down Version * Better Than Lumafusion or The Same Hmm 🤔 Certainly interesting.

    iPad Customize iPad external keyboard shortcuts

    Is there a way to edit the default iPad keyboard shortcuts? E.g. changing the default new tab in safari from CMD+T to CMD+E. I understand that in Settings if you navigate to Accessibility > Keyboards > Full keyboard access there is some ability to modify preset and custom made shortcuts from the...

    iPad Fuse the ipad and MacBook Pro into one?

    I own a M1 MacBook Pro and 12.9“ iPad Pro. Being a digital illustrator, I primarily use the iPad for Procreate and handwriting notes. In my opinion, however, iPadOS is a feeble alternative to MacOS for everything else. Professional work, document editing and even navigation. Apps threaten to...

    A huge improvement in browsing speeds

    The update to iPadOS 16 saw speed improvements in Safari by 35%, thanks to new WebKit technology. Let’s compare to Chromebooks iPad (9th generation) (device I use) - A13 Bionic (2019) - 6-core 2.65 GHz - $329/£319 - 240 Acer Chromebook Enterprise 514 - Intel Pentium Gold 7505 - 2-core 2 GHz...

    The ability to “Duplicate” a photo is gone in Actions :(

    The Actions menu no longer has the ability to “Duplicate” a photo, after upgrading to iOS 16. Did this happen to you also? I certainly hope it returns in a bug fix, because it is an essential part of my photos workflow: I always edit the duplicated photo, to keep the original untouched. This...

    Voice messages on iOS/iPadOS 16

    Am I missing something or has sending a voice message has gotten horribly complicated in iOS/iPadOS 16? The tiny microphone in the input field only invokes speech to text now via a tap, while this is used in all other messaging app as a button to start recording a voice message. Tapping and...

    iPad We need to file a class action lawsuit for iPadOS

    I have a 2020 12.9” iPad Pro. Apple has always limited the usability of the iPad’s software, not adding features that should’ve been added long ago. There’s no more excuses. It’s 2022 and we still don’t have: proper external monitor support, proper multitasking with more windows, full pro apps...

    iPad iPad cannot handle copying large videos from microSD, corrupts / destroys the file, then "content unavailable"

    iPadOS is not ready to be a laptop replacement for professional creatives if it can't handle basic tasks like copying files from a SD/microSD card. This has occurred multiple times across many months and multiple iPadOS updates: 1. Take microSD card (exFAT format) from GoPro/drone (videos...

    iPad Pro I just returned my M1 iPad Pro 12,9"

    I was so exited to get an iPad. Watched the different Mac blogs and news sites for the last two months in anticipation of the first event to see which one I should get. First I though I'd get the basic iPad, but with the price bump I might as well go for the air, but wait that's so close to the...

    iPad Find My Battery Drain

    Apologies if this has already been posted but I am really frustrated by how quickly my iPad Mini drains. I don’t know if it’s just me but I found that the iPad standby time has really gone down over the last couple of years. When I look at the battery statistics, Find My is the biggest drainer...

    iPad Final Cut for iPadOS 16

    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"?

    Shared network storage (Samba) in Files is very unreliable

    I have a laptop (Fedora Linux) which hosts a Samba server connected my local network. However, it seems like successfully connecting to the server is a hit or miss for my iPhone and iPad. A lot of times, Files would just suddenly report that an unknown error has occurred. This usually happens...
