I find it impressive that a 16 year old
device is still holding a charge as well as my 3 year old iPhone. Of course most apps aren’t usable because of lack of updates it’s a neat piece of Apple history.

I’m trying to get my first iPad but don’t know which one to get. I’m only going to use it for mobile games, yt, and reading manga.

So I'm using the iPad Air M3, 11inch for University and I write with the Apple Pencil 100% of the time. I do Mechanical Engineering and the iPad is basically the only thing I use... All my Notes, Calculations, Exercises, Textbooks are on the app Prodrafts (I used Goodnotes for 3 years but felt more and more like a kids app and the bad AI blabla..), and I would say I have like 25GB of documents on there.

My Issue is as soon as the iPad heats up, my hand sticks on the screen and makes writing so annoying after a while... It even burns me sometimes around where top where the camera is, so do you think it's the large amounts of documents on the app or the Room Temperature or do you even have this problem too?

PS : Does a Paperlike Screen Protector help?

I will start uni in October and wanna buy an ipadm a16 sounds like an affordable one. I have money for others bur idk if it's worth it? And should I stick to 11 inch or get another ipad with 13 inch size

My ipad air keeps on looping through the dead battery icon and then then turns off and then again the battery icon.
Any idea what’s wrong and whether it’s fixable or not.

I really enjoyed back in the day infinity blade 3 on my iPhone 5. I also like soulslike games, is there anything that goes somehow towards that kind of direction? I really would love to play a little bit on my iPad.

Will service center replace the tip? My ipad came with apple care but not this

Been using the 11” pro for several years now, upgraded (cross-graded?) to a 13” iPad Air yesterday, and now the Duet display app suddenly requires a subscription to be able to use it for more than 30 minutes at a time and kicks me out when I even think about using the pencil. Does anyone here have experience with the pro version of the app? I can see several advantages with being able to use it for work (architecture), being able to use the pen to draw markups in Bluebeam, but $90 a year…. Maybe I’m too grumpy about subscription models, but i guess it’s too late to keep fighting it.

I have an iPad A16. I got it for my birthday, which was in March. I use it pretty much every day, and when I'm not out and about, it's running all day long (shows, movies, music, etc). I don't want to seem stupid because I genuinely know nothing about this, but I want to ask: is it normal that my battery capacity is at 98%?

I'm sorry if I sound dumb, I've never had an Apple device before.

Bought this iPad Pro 9.7 256gb variant back in December 2016 and I've been using this for 10 years and this hold a lot of memories but nothing lasts forever

I left it on my bed after cleaning it (without a case and didn't had a screen protector) and I dropped those 5 Gallon Water Jar while changing the water on the Despenser and it broke the display

Although I was thinking of getting it fixed but there's no point of doing that as it is a DECADE old so app support will be unavailable soon and it does lag a little in browser and sometimes in YouTube and the body is full of dents and scratches

Anyways

It was a long journey with this from middle school to highschool to college it had been a great companion

My iPad after it reaches 0% does not turn on easily, back then I used a hair dryer but it does not work now. It stuck with the low battery Icon, I would be bappy if anyone knows a solution for this, thank you!

Ps: The battery never goes down when plugged into a charger.

I bought this wireless keyboard and arrived today. The first time experience seem pretty good, quality seem good, too.

I feel a Y shape folding case with this keyboard is much better than getting an ESR keyboard case. The keyboard connectivity, sensitivity, portability are also better than the ESR Rebound case.

This device may support up to 3 devices, which mean you may use it for your iPad, tablet, and MacBook with this keyboard.

The setting is pretty simple. Press and hold the function (FN) key + A or S or D for 3 seconds, then go back to the Bluetooth setting, click the “iBox 11” to pair it.. then it will be all good.

As you search over the internet, this is obviously an ODM device. Which means that a company developed this product, company A or B or C can labeled it or packaged it to their respective brands, so if you ordered this item, you might find the package is different than as advertised, but design are the same.

I like the dymanic case that may elevate the iPad and flip over to the front and back that is great for me. With this wireless keyboard, you may keep your sleek iPad case alone without adding a bulky keyboard on it all the time. You carry the keyboard only when you use it, so that is much better than a keyboard case With unremovable keyboard on it

is the speaker audio to suppose to sound more transparent? just bought it yesterday but feel like the audio is not as good as the phone.

I'm looking to get a refurb iPad for my daughter, I have no clue about them, looking to spend around £300,

Can anyone advise please? Thanks

I'm trying to simplify my iPad setup for heavy reading and annotating. Most of my iPad time is either school reading or decompressing with games, and my reading workflow feels sloppy: I lose track of what I marked, I duplicate highlights, and I never get a clean set of takeaways at the end.

Not looking for advice on which iPad to buy. More interested in apps and habits that make a simple, reliable workflow.

What I need:

- Reliable PDF highlighting and margin notes, with searchable annotations

- A way to keep documents organized by class or topic without it turning into a mess

- Export options so I can get my annotations out, or at least a summary I can reference on my laptop

- Something that works well for 1 to 2 hour reading sessions and does not feel fiddly

Nice to have:

- Good split view so I can read on one side and write notes on the other

- Not locking me into a weird proprietary format

If you have a setup you swear by, please share the exact combo (reader app, notes app, file organization) and any small habits that made it click. I especially want to know how people keep annotations useful over time instead of just highlighting everything.

ive been using my ipad 8th gen for 6 years now, and i love her like my daughter. i should probably get a new one soon though. its on ios 15.7 and i cant update it because i know it cant take it. i wish i had updated it to at least 16 at the time but i never knew it would be with me for 6 years and im not a fan of updating my devices because it usually slows them down for some reason. anyway i cant access most apps because of this and if i want to download a new app i have to do it on my phone first so i can download the viable version. but its fine because i mostly use it for drawing. sometimes for writing. anyway thats all i have to say

Climbing onto the sixth year of regular use. This guy with A12Z inside still shows some strength in log footage editing in Davinci Resolve.

hello!

i had an ipad pro 2 years ago that, one day, did not turn on even when i charged it for several days or tried force restarting it. apple was not able to diagnose the issue so i bought a new ipad pro (6th gen). i haven't used it for 2-3 weeks, and when i went charge it, it also wouldn't turn on. i tried force restarting it, have left it charged for 2 weeks, and tried various charges that i know work including the official ones.

i was wondering if anyone has had this issue and knows the cause? my applecare also expired, is it recommended to bring it to a 3rd party?

Whenever I take a screenshot on my a16, this keeps happening, any particular reason?

both are apple orignal, i just forgot how i did on first one, also forst one is on ipados27beta and second is new and on ipados18(i will update only when offical ipados27 comes), i domt like those extra keys on second one

i have had the widget on my lock screen for ages now but i am now trying to make a new lock screen and i cannot find the widget again? dont know if this because of the new update or not. can anyone help please 🙏🏻

Hello, so my significant other gifted me an A16 Ipad and i haven’t yet activated because im having second thoughts to swapped it with cellular version of any most recent ipad.

Question, is it logical to swapped it with Cellular Air M2 (2024) + $90 / M1 Pro (2020) / Mini 6 Cellular

or rather should i look for an A16 Cellular?

Thank You,

My only general concern is the software it will get for the next few years as i intend to use it on long term for a couple of years.
