    iPad Air I just bought the iPad Air 13 Inch, wifi, 256 GB, Blue. Here are my thoughts

    I was ready to buy the iPad 12’9 just for the bigger screen. but, then I decided to go with the iPad 10 generation that I bought in December 2023. It wasn’t the BIG screen that I wanted but, after days of using it I loved it more and more each day. Then the ipad Air 13 Inch was announced and I...

    Application back after full reset

    Hi, I ran into an odd issue, I did a full reset (Erase all content and settings) on an iPad Air 3rd gen on iPadOS 17.4.1. Did not restore from backup (no backup available anyways) or transfer anything. Once the full reset done and the iPad back to “factory settings”, and before I did anything...

    iPad What are your most wanted iPad OS features?

    The Pro iPads have been powerful for the last few years, and the new ones are particularly powerful. There are also some very compelling Pro level apps now available for iPad. Interestingly however, given that Apple doesn't supply a charger with the new Pro in most European countries it...

    I do not want macOS on iPad. Ever.

    Wait. Before you start commenting that I'm stupid. Just read on... I agree that iPadOS (in its current form) is a massive limiting factor for the iPad. But I don't think that 'just release macOS on iPad' will be the answer. MacOS is entirely designed for trackpad and keyboard use. Icons...

    Stuck "Remind Me" notification in Mail (Mac, iOS, iPadOS)

    This one has been driving me nuts for a few months now. Mac Mail is showing an indicator of 1 message in the "Remind Me" mailbox (same on iPhone and iPad). Clicking that mailbox, I have no emails in there. I've also deleted old emails out of trash, cleared out sent items, rebuilt the mailbox...

Every tIke I try to scroll back to select extra images to be deleted, it randomly opens the image instead of selecting it, which undoes anytime I had selected before, so I have...

    To be sure: There's no way to exclude folders from backing up to iCloud?

    ...if you are having "backup to iCloud" on in the settings? Lots of free storage in ipad, iCloud is almost full and I'd like to browse some local videos, but since if anything is backupped to iCloud, everything is backupped to iCloud, I can't use the local storage on the ipad. What would Apple...

    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 Pro M2 Screen Flicker

    Is anyone else seeing their iPad screen occasionally flicker on iPadOS 17? I’m trying to figure out if it’s a beta issue, or if I’m having a hardware problem. Thanks!!

    Does iOS 17 upgrade notes/reminders to be incompatible with previous versions?

    Despite my 2017 MacBook Pro still being incredibly snappy, it will not be compatible with the next macOS. So if I upgrade my iPad and iPhone to iOS 17, will my notes/reminders/anything else be upgraded to a version that will no longer sync or be compatible with my Mac?

    Apple and Lightroom Lens Correction Settings

    iOS/iPadOS: Settings > Camera > Lens Correction (Correct lens distortion on the front and Ultra Wide cameras). With the setting enabled, when editing these photos in Lightroom, I can still apply lens corrections. Is the lens correction in Lightroom needed?

    Lockdown Mode and privacy issues

    I understand that Lockdown Mode (on iOS, iPadOS and macOS) is to increase security. But I read somewhere (IT tech website) that if Lockdown Mode enabled, there would be have some negative impact on your device's privacy. Apple explain some trade-off on Lockdown Mode, but as far as I know they...

    The IOS 17 is an amazing update. Let me tell you why that is.

    The updates on the ipadOS and IOS are not groundbreaking, and thats the good part. Of course, the uninformed user might think it means theyre lazy or just dont care about the ipad, but no! Thats not the case at all! We NEED these updates once in awhile. They are the ones that allow devs to give...

    Unrealistic — but fun — idea...

    There're many comments, in various threads, wishing Apple would slow down, or even stop, adding software features, and focus on tightening-up their software. Many often cite Snow Leopard as being the heyday for Apple's "it just works" age, and I'm sure there's a similar reference for iOS. As...

    iOS and IpadOS aren't good, it's third party apps and devs that make them so much better than android

    I don't know how you guys feel about Ios and its bigger brother ipadOS which is basically a bigger ios with a few tweaks for the price of these devices, which is extremely high, especially in EU where an iphone 14pm/ ipad pro 12.9 128gb would cost literally 1500 euros, I find the OS rather...

    All iPads Would you like the iPad to receive a desktop environment and merge with macOS (à la Windows 8)?

    iPadOS and macOS could be combined through Launchpad. Launchpad is an application launcher that displays your Mac's applications into a grid, much like how your apps are displayed on iOS and iPadOS. What prevents Mac users from using Launchpad on their Mac like an iPad is that Macs don't have...
