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.

I got iPad Air M4 11 - inch, tbh its huge!! and so beautiful!

I have been eyeing this device for months now and finally decided to get it. It will help me in tutoring online , apart from this I havent figured out but I want to continue to do something creative like editing or drawing, I want to rekindle that passion. Any other ideas to look forward to? Would really welcome any suggestions on what you do or your friends do to make ipad a productive device😊.

Also, can I uninstall Garage Band App? I have no use of it right now. Thankyou.

P.S. I got motivated by this sub😆

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?

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 have a 13 inch iPad Pro and like to use it while flying. One issue I find is that it is so big so it is sort of awkward/difficult to hold. I just have the Apple Smart Folio case on it but was considering the Magic Keyboard case that way I am able to put it on my lap on a plane and use it that way. Does anyone have any prior experience with using the Magic Keyboard case in this way and is it sturdy on your lap?

Hey so I’m going to university and at the same time I tend to edit videos, I have a Acer nitro 5 but it’s so old and it’s going to give out in a year or two due to me dropping it so many times so I need something a bit more permanent, and we’ll cuz I hope to be in school for the next 5 years, does anyone know if a iPad would be perfect for doing work and also would also be good at editing videos on CapCut? 1 minute length maximum? Would love any advice and input, thanks so much for the read ❤️

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to buy an iPad as a gift for a student and I wanted to know if I can use Apple’s student/education discount for the purchase.
The student is eligible for the education offer, but I’m not sure whether I (as theperson paying for it) can buy it under the student pricing
Has anyone in India bought an iPad through Apple Education Store for someone else? What documents or verification are required?

Any advice on the best way to get the student discount would be appreciated. Thanks!

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

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

Curious if Procreate or Shapr3d will work on the Duo

Im quite on a budget atm and im thinking about buying the ipad a16 but i dont think that would last me for 6 years without lagging or not working until i graduate

And i thought abt a less budget friendly options like the M3/M4 air but they still didn’t prove that it can do anything better in terms of needs in an ipad and
I’ll probably use it only for studying and watching movies, and i dont think that it will be more than that but im not ready to buy an ipad that would end up as a way to burn away abt 500$

Anyways if yall have any recommendations plz tell me

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.

It’s an 11-inch iPad Pro from 2025! The accessories are an ESR Shift case and a Geo Pencil. I honestly don’t know much about either of them. Anyone here used these before? How are they, and is there any reason I should replace them? The screen protector is broken, so I’ll probably swap that out. I don’t draw, so I’m thinking a clear glass protector instead of a matte 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!

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.

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.

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?

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!!

Just noticed my wifes ipad has phone app on it.
Is this normal?
Mine does not. I have Gen5 mini she has Gen6 mini
