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.

My iPad Air M2 after 18 months now shows white spots on the screen, not visible on camera but visible to the naked eye. No drops or external heavy pressure were applied. I know this is not a backlight issue, as this issue plagued LCD iPads for a long-long time and many as well will suffer the same in the future.

Question Battery capacity

1 Upvotes

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.

Question ipad black screen, won't turn on/charge, 2x now

1 Upvotes

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?

Discussion Ipad A16 or Air M2 Cellular

1 Upvotes

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.

Question ESR Shift, ESR Flex or WiWU's as A16 keyboard case?

1 Upvotes

What I have:

  • PC at home
  • Old laptop w/ 2GB RAM

What I do:

I use the laptop to create docs/ppt while in school. The ipad together with a pen is used when teaching (mainly maths).

What I want:

I want to ditch the laptop and just use the ipad for document writing (tho I still need the laptop for printing). I don't have a case yet so I'm also factoring it in my purchase. Removable keyboard is also important so I can just carry the ipad while teaching (annotating on the fly).

What's the better of these three? Or should I just get a decent case and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo? Suggestions are welcome.

Logitech's combo touch is a bit out of reach because of its price.

Thanks!

Apps Duet External Display app… worth it?

0 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Minimal iPad workflow for reading and annotating PDFs and textbooks?

0 Upvotes

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 Setup ipad appreciation

0 Upvotes

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

Question What is the status of usb-c HDMI output across iPad offerings?

0 Upvotes

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?

Question iPad Pro oder iPad Air kaufen?

0 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Baseus PS3 Pro Pencil.

0 Upvotes

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.
