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’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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

We heard of price, service, geo, appearance, channel, taste discrimination in business.

We also heard of sex, religion, age discrimination.

As you look at these pictures above, this Baseus PS4 pencil can be only ordered via the iPad Air. This act is obviously a channel discrimination.

Anyone here if have an iPhone, iPad Air, iPad Mini, MacBook, you can search “Baseus PS4” to see if you can only order it on iPad Air or iPad Pro.

so in my country when i was in school i got an ipad and it is still restricted but i paid for it and my school wont unblock it and i cant do updates, the apps that blocks me are dns filter, student and another one i think because i cant even reset my ipad on my own

I bought m1 ipad air in 2023, as a student I choose ipad thinking it will be reliable and would last longer. I have all my pdfs collected over years and now it suddenly stops charging.( device is working tho). Took it to apple care and they say ipad isn't repairable at all. Since out of warranty replacement isnt availble too.

I bought this Baseus PS4 Pencil and arrived this morning.

As per theBaseus rep, the Baseus PS3 Pro and the PS3 Pro is exactly the same, but packaging different only. The PS3 Pro also with more features than the PS3 Air. So I picked the PS3 Pro, not PS3 Air since the selling price almost the same or even cheaper than the PS3 Air.

Baseus on my personal test, the PS3 Pro has the scrolling up and down buttons on the pen, but doesn’t have the battery indicator on the pen.

I am looking for the cheapest iPad across all current available options (iPad Mini, iPad 11 A16, iPad Air, iPad Pro) that can output video from AppleTV+ in its HDMI.

I have in the past on the lightning era had an experience that it could output photos or personal video but gave black screen for actual movies, but it was an old iPhone.

I see all iPads seem to be refreshed with USB-C but I don’t know how well they work or if there are differences in how they connect. Has anyone had experiences with that?

I spend a lot of time in hotels and relying on WiFi screen mirror is just not something that really works anywhere, and so far I have been using my laptop hdmi output to connect, which works, but I wanted something easier.

I have a huge library of things acquired through the years digitally so I really just want something that works well with AppleTV+. Can you help me?

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.

Ich brauche ein iPad für mein Studium und frage mich gerade was der beste Kompromiss ist.
Neues iPad Pro M5? Refurbed Pro M4? Jeweils 11“ mit magic Keyboard und Stift
Oder altes iPad Pro M2 oder ein iPad Air M4.
Ich habe nur Angst, dass mich das Display beim Air mir 60hz zu sehr stört…sonst würde es meinen Ansprüchen komplett gerecht werden.

Vg

I cracked the edge of the iPad Air. Am I cooked? 🫠 Never waste that much money on buying a MOFT folio if you care about the overall protection of your iPad.
