Rules

Hey all. Is there a Bluetooth remote or option to control my iPad like I would be able to the way the remote for a fire stick does for that? Selecting apps and navigating with arrow keys/touchpad or something along those lines?

I have a mini and an air and im confused which one to take on a flight to watch movies. I usually carry mini for 4-5 hour flights. Never carried regular size iPad. Would it be too big on a flight?

Basically, I like the size of my phone's keyboard.
I am wondering if I can type with the screen keyboard of my iPhone 16, but with the text showing on my iPad mini.

I'm looking to get my college student either the current iPad Air 11" 256gb or the current iPad 256gb. She's going to be doing either Stats, Math or Econ (or maybe 2/3) and will be using it for notes mostly, but also for some digital textbooks (as possible) and personal photos etc.. Will there actually be a noticeable performance difference between these two models, given the different chips they use and the way she'll be using it?

I want to make sure what I'm buying will do what she needs well, but I'm also very attracted to the much lower price point for the regular iPad.

In case it matters, she's not really into the tech aspect, she just likes her handwritten notes from lectures, and this seems like a good way for her to have them all in one convenient place.

Open to suggestion if my thinking is off....

Hello, I have a friend who has an iPad and has been trying for a while to update but the update is not complete because his internet is unstable, so he gave me his iPad so I could update it for him and 3 hours have passed and I am trying and every time it reaches a quarter or half and stops and shows "Paused" and then restarts from the beginning and so on. I tried deleting the update and restarting and the same problem remains

On the top, it looks like it recognizes the pencil. But it doesn’t appear on Bluetooth. Has anyone seen this before? It worked fine before the last update I think…

I’m planning on getting a new iPad Air 11", and I use Procreate a lot for work. Are they any good knockoffs for the Apple Pencil Pro out there yet? Spending $230CAD for a pencil isn’t really in my budget right now…

This dent has been around since I bought it in the first place. Is there any way to fix it or make it less visible?

Using UxPlay on my Linux box (work development system) I can run an Airplay server -- I've been using this to cast audio from my devices to the nice desktop speakers connected to my work computer, and recently got it working for screen sharing too (was missing a video codec on the Linux side), but it wasn't until just now that I realized that I could use SideCar to use my iPad as an external monitor, then airplay mirror just the iPad monitor to my Linux computer, and then using my Apple Pencil I can draw diagrams on the iPad, which are projected to the airplay server on my Linux box, which I share via the conference software.

I can also just airplay mirror the iPad itself, but using the MacBook as an intermediary also allows me to type without having to have yet another keyboard on my desk while keeping the iPad laying in a natural position for drawing or on my lap.

This stuff is mind blowingly easy to use and "just works"....

Hey all, thanks in advance for any input or suggestions!

My goal is to stream and/or record video for content uploads to YouTube and/or other social platforms. (The where isn’t the point, it’s the how)

I don’t have a laptop.

I have a iPad Pro with M2, and an iPhone 16 pro.

My goal is to be able to use the iPhone rear camera as my iPads “webcam”- so I see the phones camera feed and manage the stream, etc through the iPad, while using the phones camera while the phone is mounted on a tri-pod.

My question is; is this possible, and if so- what platform offers this feature?

Recently got an iPad and Apple Pencil for digital art, loving it so far but the only thing is that every single time I try and use my pencil it makes me plug it in to the iPad to “connect”, even though the pencil has been connected many many times before and is even listed in “my devices”. Is this really how it’s supposed to work or is something wrong? I used the pencil less than 24 hours ago and it’s making me plug it in again.

should i get an ipad 10th gen or iphone 13? i currently use iphone 8+ and it has cracked screen and sometimes when it gets drained it doesn't turn on immediately. but, if i buy an ipad, i can use it for studying and taking notes especially because i don't own a laptop or computer. i'll make great use of it since i'm going to college next year

J’ai actuellement un iPad 9 depuis son lancement avec ios 15 et je l’ai mis à jour sur ios 16,17 et 18 et je me demande combien de temps il sera pris en charge

Hey so Ive just purchased my first iPad, an iPad Pro m4 13 inch, 512gb. I’m super excited, please let me know any recommendations or tips you have for a new iPad owner, whether it’s accessories or apps or anything! Thank you

I'm a student hoping to buy an ipad solely for taking notes. Size-wise I prefer the iPad air but I noticed the price is much more for the current version so I'm also open to the 10.9" current version iPad.

For those with experience, is it worth it to get the most recent version of either iPad? Or is there an older version that is nearly similar functionality wise? The main thing I'm looking for is just good compatibility with the apple pencil or a stylus in general.

Also - is the apple pencil really worth the price? Thanks for all the help.

I'm getting an iPad 10Gen and I have a question. What is the proper way to first use your iPad? Should you put it straight onto the changer or should you turn it on and wait for it to die and then fully charge it? Or does it even matter?

Can anyone tell me firsthand if the Magic Keyboard I purchased four years ago for iPad Air 4th Generation is compatible with the latest iPad Air M2, as long as both are 11 inch? I keep reading conflicting information. . Thanks!

So apple rates newer ipads for about 1000 cycles for 80 percent battery health. What I don't get is what is so bad about 80 percent battery health? I mean if you get 10 hours of battery life on 100 percent then on 80 percent you should get about 8 correct? That seems pretty reasonable to me. also is battery health a significant issue when tackling the long term health of an ipad (5+ years). Those of you with older ipads how is your battery doing and do you feel it restricts you in any meaningful way?

And cheapest 🤔

Hi,

I'm considering buying an iPad Pro M4 and I'm not sure which size to get between 256 and 512GB. I'm seeing online that the 512GB storage performs better on disk benchmarks (even better than the 1TB version actually). Now I'm wondering how iPadOS takes advantage of this extra speed, more particularly if, similarly to MacOS, it makes use of it when running out of RAM.

Thanks

Started occurring today. Keyboard works well for editing regular cells. Problem appears to be only with text boxes.

So I have this old iPad since I was like 11 and recently decided to charge it and use it as an ebook reader. The thing is I would like to factory reset it but it has a pass code on the restrictions setting that I don’t remember and I don’t even have any computer where it is sync to due to years passing and changing my laptop. So is there any way I can factory reset it?

The title. If I am unclear, I'd be happy to attempt to explain my train of thought.

Curious to see how the iPad Minis look with different colour cases. Specifically looking at the new 7th gens but if you have Space Gray or Starlight in the 6, go ahead!

Struggling to gauge the differences online and my local stores don't have the new iPad minis out on display! Would love to see them side by side if possible. Thanks!

So my mom sat on my ipad pro 2024 and she bent it and dented it slightly as it pushed against something hard, I took it to apple they said it was £79 to replace with apple care, When i took it home the screen died on me probably cause of the bend, So will they increase the charge or keep it the same? I called apple asking this they said it would stay the same but i dont quite believe them.. they can be scummy sometimes.

Wie kann man Dateien ( Bilder , Texte u.ä. ) vom Mac Mini zum Ipad 10.9 , ich kriege es einfach nicht hin . Wäre für nützliche Tips sehr dankbar Vielen Dank vorab

Yesterday I got the 18.1.1 ios on my iPad Air 4. Now the battery isn‘t going over 36% anymore, as you can see, i had it charged the whole day. I even tried different cables and bricks also the charger of my MSI Claw. Nothing helps. Its not dirty and restarting dont work as well. I dont know what to do anymore. Battery life is at 87%. I hope someone can help or maybe some has discovered the same problem?

About to upgrade my very old iPad Air three, I need to do basic 4k video editing on a regular basis, am I OK with the new redesigned iPad Air? Or should I go with an older Pro model?

I plan to use the new Final Cut software, I shot a bunch of footage using my iPhone 6 and Adobe. Premiere Rush cannot handle it and/or does not recognize the footage
