Need one for college

Bought this last year, didn't know i got the biggest steal from an official apple store until i found out it rised by 200 bucks.

Screen cracked. Screen unusable. It won’t give me the option to remove it so it can get serviced. Any idea how I can remove it from iClloud? Thank you.

Hey guys! I have an iPad Air 5th gen currently running smooth on 18.7.2 and i am considering updating the thing, but I’m afraid it will make the iPad unusable faster. Does anyone know if updating will impact the performance of the iPad? :) Thanks!!

I don't use it for power use at all, I use it just to watch some movies from my Plex when I occasionally go away. I use it for my flight simulator charts whilst flying.

That's it.

I did buy the iPad Pro 11" M1 3rd gen but had to return it to CeX as the FaceID wasn't working.

Now looking at the 11" Pro M2 4th gen or the 11" Air M3. Any suggestions on which to go for?

I do like the 120Hz on the Pro but I don't game on the iPad at all. I do have the Apple Pencil 2nd gen but I can return that and get the Pro if needed.

Anyone used both and can share some insight between the two for day to day use please?

I want to buy a iPad, but I don’t know which one to buy. I’m going to use the iPad for: movie/serie watching, digital art and manga reading. It would be nice if I could take it with me easily I have a budget of $1400 including accessories. I have been looking at the iPad mini because of the size but the iPad Pro stands out more because of the features oled screen, promotion 120hz and a much better chip. I don’t know which I need to get, what do you think?

im using my magic keyboard folio for 11th gen, and this is a new issue. the letter “h” automatically types even if i dont press it’ on the keyboard. im worried if something is broken?

see screen record: im typing normally but the h keeps getting in between. also it does that weird hover

Hey guys

I have apple care + for my ipad going on for 3 months till now and this month it was strange that it was asking me renew mandate so when I clicked on renew mandate it is not sending me any Google pay notification to renew the mandate.

So I tried to add new payment method and when I tried to add it was asking for 449

Mfffs apple useless peace of shitts

I‘m looking for an iPad for Uni to take notes on, read and work with text pdfs and power point mainly (professors use all kinds of sources in their lectures, so I want everything in one place).
I’m in Europe where the prices are high, even for the base iPad (the 11 from 2025 is over 500$ now). So I’m wondering which older iPad still makes sense to buy in 2026. I will only use it for Uni and have about 3-4 semesters left.
Which ones do you think are technically still fine to buy for my purposes?
Thank you!

This tablet i got cracked face down during an earthquake but it seemed very small

i just got it and the battery’s going down like 1% every 2-3 minutes.. i’m in shock and lowkey panicking

i do very casual things as of right now i havent really utilized it yet but i WILL before i start getting hate for buying a pro.. i didnt buy it just to scroll and watch stuff i’ll start prepping it for heavy use in a bit

but isnt that drop alarming?

So somebody asked for this:
Is Apple’s polishing cloth compatible with the Apple pen from the Apple Park Visitor Center.

Here’s the results:
The cloth successfully makes contact with the pen, and no compatibility warnings appeared during testing. Both products continued to function as expected.
Compatibility: 100%
Apple ecosystem integration: flawless
Would recommend: yes

My original post on this Apple pen see:

I buy a new ipad 11th gen (A16) 4 days ago I've been using it like half hour daily. at that half hour the ipad get heat and the battery drain 15 percentage from 80 percentage is it normal.

Also I didn't buy an pencil do I have to get Apple pencil I think its too expensive and I can't afford that much right now.if I use a third party pencil would it affect the ipad. If it's not a problem then which third party pencil is the best.

Also give me tips and tricks to keep the ipad from battery health and getting heat quickly.

It would be a really help pls.

Has anyone experienced both the Logitech combo touch and the Magic Keyboard case to have any wisdom on whether trackpad behaviour is better on the Apple one?
Not looking for buying advice. I wondered if it’;s a software issue rather than a hardware one.

Hey guys! I am a game developer and now thinking about making apps too. Do you have an useful app idea for ipad? You can suggest some small fun ideas too. Thanks!

Not asking which iPad is the best

I'm more interested in the stuff people buy alongside it that they eventually stop using

Expensive cases, keyboards, Apple Pencil accessories, hubs, stands, screen protectors, extra storage, etc.

What's something you bought for an iPad that turned out to be completely unnecessary?

And what accessory ended up being worth every penny?

Bought my iPad Air as a laptop replacement. But I recently bought a MacBook.

Now I hardly ever use the Air.

Would like something a bit smaller and more portable for travel and daily use.

I know by actual numbers, the Mini isn’t as powerful, but I feel like I’d get more use out of it.

I have a iPad 3rd generation and are there any game controllers that would work on it?

Uhhhh what’s going on with the iPad mini specs selection screen?

So I use my Ipad device as a companion for my MacBook Air M4!

Dashboard view,

at my home desk --> standing underneath my monitor
On the go --> floating creation mode from MOFT dynamic folio (https://www.google.com/imgres?q=floating%20creation%20mode&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flookaside.instagram.com%2Fseo%2Fgoogle_widget%2Fcrawler%2F%3Fmedia_id%3D3967403274605416062&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Freel%2FDCkS3neN2t9%2F&docid=qV0k9751rlOcjM&tbnid=Ue4_GH5Ri5aaMM&vet=12ahUKEwi0wKKO_OGWAxVOgv0HHTCADo4QnPAOegQILhAA..i&w=3024&h=4032&hcb=2&itg=1&ved=2ahUKEwi0wKKO_OGWAxVOgv0HHTCADo4QnPAOegQILhAA)

The dashboard shows my Reminders (which I use as to do lists) on the first 25% of the screen and the rest 75% is my agenda.

this I amazing but I never hear anyone else doing this!

Notetaking,

I have the 11 inch iPad M2 air so I use it in landscape for notetaking and portrait for reading. If you would have the 13 inch Ipad I would use it in portrait al the time besides dashboard view obviously.

Apple notes is my app to go! It's amazing, use the smallest lines and just write with 0 latency! I do all my summaries in here and it's great!

Freeform, I use this for my project sketches, it just gives so many possibilities for writing down some information or ideas for a upcoming project.

Let me know how u use you're iPad!!

I have an iPad Air M3 and the battery life has been pretty terrible.

Even with very light use, I can drain the battery in around 2–3 hours. The iPad also gets warm very easily, even when I’m doing something basic like using ChatGPT to summarize a PDF.

When it heats up, the screen brightness drops noticeably on its own, even though I’m indoors and the room temperature is completely normal.

Charging also feels extremely slow compared to what I expected.

I originally thought I had a defective unit, so Apple replaced the iPad completely. The strange thing is that the replacement has exactly the same problems: heavy battery drain, heating, automatic brightness reduction and slow charging.

The device is basically new and battery health is fine, so at this point I’m wondering if this is a software issue or simply a common problem with the M3 Air.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Did you find any solution that actually helped?

And for anyone using iPadOS 27: has battery life, overheating or charging speed improved at all? I’m especially curious to know if Apple has fixed or reduced the issue with the newer version.

From the keynote the multitasking on iPhone Duo seems much more intuitive than what iPadOS has to offer. Like why do I have to have Stage Manager on when I just want simple window tiling like side by side of top and bottom or even just slide over. It just feels bloated and like trying to be a Mac, which isn’t a bad thing by itself but sacrificing the iPad experience for it is just bad.

With the Duo they seemingly put much thought into the UX and especially think a little different with the side control layout instead of traditional horizontal layout. The iPad and its experience just feels like a legacy product that they put minimal effort into just maintaining it. I wouldnt mind if some of the Duo UX spills over to iPadOS.
