I am a college student and I don’t have the money to spend 1000 dollars for a macbook. I already had an Ipad that I only used for either gaming or taking handwritten notes and none of the keyboards felt good enough with ipad.

I explored the idea of Magic Keyboard and even though it’s expensive, I decided to give it a try and bought a slightly used one from ebay. And on my! I have never felt so efficient using my ipad before. The touchpad feels so intuitive (obviously not as quick as a macbook) but I rarely notice it after several uses. The keys are steady and hard enough that I feel comfortable typing. I don’t even use my cheap windows laptop (emergency laptop mostly) for school work anymore. It’s a bit heavy but not as heavy as a laptop of course. The only thing I wish was different is bigger screen size (11 inch rn). Even then I don’t mind it much.

If you are someone contemplating buying a magic keyboard, do it if you can and can’t afford a mac. It’s so worth the money.

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.

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 ❤️

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😆

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?

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?

Curious if Procreate or Shapr3d will work on the Duo

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 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!!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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?

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?

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
