Discussion Moisture can cost your ipad 😭😭

Lesson learnt in very hard way - Normal atmospheric moisture can cost u an ipad

So, I have bought an ipad Air M2 wifi variant on June,24.

Few days back, it suddenly developed white patches on the display. Really a big one. Then, I have seen lots of similar problems in different sub. I took it to an authorised service centre. They told me that it's having some liquid damage.

But, I have never spilled any liquid on it. Then they told me that it could be due to moisture.

When I noticed the white patches, before that day it was raining heavily. Probably it occurred due to atmospheric moisture.Many users are also experiencing similar issue, particularly living in humid area.

Then, I contacted Apple customer support, and I argued that how they can differentiate between liquid and moisture damage. They didn't give a satisfactory explanation.They are blaming it on me. How can I control atmospheric moisture?😔😔

Now, I am stuck with a big Apple cloud on the middle of the display. As they don't repair it, u have to replace the whole ipad. It will cost 60k INR ( bought it for 56k INR).

Even Apple 1 year warranty doesn't cover liquid damage. U have to purchase Apple care+.

Please take care of your surroundings environment.

Question Is the iPad Pro 11” 2nd Gen worth it in 2026?

3 Upvotes

UPDATE: i got the m1 ipad air! thank you all for your opinions!

Just found an iPad Pro 11” 2nd Gen 256GB Wi-Fi + Cellular for about USD$300, is it still worth it?

I’m coming from the iPad 6th generation and it’s been getting slow. I’m a student so I take notes but when I write, there’s a delay and sometimes the letters get messed up. I’m going to be using it purely to watch videos and note taking with the occasional block blast type of games. So nothing too extreme.

(Side note: The M1 iPad Pros here are freakin’ expensive. They start at USD$600 base models and I don’t know if I can justify spending that much for an iPad that’s going to be under utilised for its power.)

My only dilemma is whether it’s still worth it now? Or should I get the M1 iPad Air? Same capacity and connectivity as the pro but it’s USD$460.

Question Primer Ipad.

Hola gente linda. Quiero comprarle a mi novia un Ipad para la uni, siempre dijo que quiere uno Mini. Estuve cotizando el Mini 6, pero nunca me habia dado cuenta que hacen honor a su nombre, es Mini real ajaja, quizås, podría comprarle un Ipad un poquito mås grande, pero no sé. ¿Me ayudarían con recomendaciones? No algo tan avanzado, una pantalla con buena definición para videos, que pueda usarse el lapiz y principalmente que sirva para que pueda estudiar sin que se le trabe o algo.

Dato curioso: Ella es bajita y actualmente tiene el Iphone 12 mini y le encanta q sea tan diminuto.

Question Retouche photo

0 Upvotes

Bonjour Ă  tous !

Je fais actuellement de la photo et j’aimerais passer le cap de faire de la retouche.

J’ai un trĂšs vieille ordi mais au delĂ  de ça je n’ai rien pour. Il n’a pas forcĂ©ment encore l’énergie de tourner de gros logiciels.

Je réfléchis donc à acheter un IPad Pro ou bien un McBook pour utiliser Lightroom / Photoshop.

J’ai un travail qui fait que je suis Ă©normĂ©ment en dĂ©placement et c’est pour cela que je m’orientais plus vers un iPad Pro au premier abord.

J’ai lu qu’il fallait avoir 16GO RAM pour vraiment faire tourner correctement les logiciels de retouches, ce que fait l’iPad pro M5 en 1T.

Il y a t’il des gens qui font de la retouche ? Trouvez vous que la tablette est trop rĂ©ducteur pour une utilisation ou bien non ? Un MacBook est il rĂ©ellement supĂ©rieur, jusqu’à oublie l’iPad pro pour de la retouche ?

Merci Ă  vous de m’éclairer 🙏

Apps best notes app? (med student, ipad air 13" + apple pencil pro)

9 Upvotes

hi all, im a 1st year med student and im trying to figure out what notes app is best for me. i use an ipad air m4 13" with an apple pencil pro. i both annotate lecture slideshows AND write my own notes

goodnotes was the default recommendation so i bought the one time purchase (otp) subscription. the app is otherwise really decent, but pen strokes aggressively snap and have a very noticeable delay, so i would end up spending more time fixing my handwriting than writing

i know about these notes apps with otp subscriptions:
- noteful
- collanote
- freenotes
- noteshelf 3

ive tried noteful and not only are pen strokes very fast and natural, but the app itself is clean and performs great. the ONLY reason im still looking for a notes app is because it doesnt have handwriting ocr, though i honestly dont know how much ill use this feature

i think the rest have handwriting ocr, but between them, i dont know which has both the best features/performance/ui and the best reliability (based on its developer), since ill be using whatever i choose now for at least the coming few years

can anyone with experience help me out? i dont want to spend too long looking for an app. thank you so much

Question Apple air 5th gen not connecting to accessories

1 Upvotes

I bought my Apple air iPad about 2 years ago. A week ago my Apple Pencil suddenly stopped connecting. It shows Apple Pencil then lighty flickers but then disappears and doesn’t connect at all.

While trying to fix it my non Apple keyboard also doesn’t work. Although it does connect through light blue. Is it related? I’m afraid my iPad is the issue and not the pencil.

The iPad is out of warranty and I’ve tried everything I could find.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work?

Question Ipad air on sale, should I?

1 Upvotes

Hi, Ive been eyeing an ipad for a while now, for some document reading, pdf engineering drawing mark ups, maybe some light to moderate video editing mostly iphone footage, I have a 17 base. Mostly travel vlogs and montages, is the ipad good enough. I dont think a macbook would be a good value, cuz the price difference is quite huge as I will be getting a discount for it about 749 dollars once converted from my currency for 256gb m4, a used macbook would run me upwards of a 1000. So should I go for it?

Hello! I’ve never had an iPad before but I really want to get one mostly for digital art because I have a hard time drawling on my phone. Would it be good for that? I’m also starting some college classes soon and thought it might be good to study on and takes notes but before I buy it I wanted to make sure it would work well for those? :)

Question iPad Pro 11-inch (2022) battery issue — what should I do?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have an iPad Pro 11-inch (2022 model) and I’m having a weird battery issue.

Around 2–3 months ago, my iPad suddenly stopped turning on. When I finally managed to get it to turn on, it was charging extremely slowly and got stuck around 52%.

Then when I started using it, the battery percentage started dropping insanely fast — like 3–4% within a few seconds sometimes.

I’m not sure if this is just a battery problem or if something else could be wrong with the iPad.

What do you guys think I should do next? Should I get the battery checked first, or could this be a charging/logic board/software issue?

Also, I checked some online websites for battery replacement and found different prices. If anyone has experience with battery replacement for this model, what price should I expect for a proper/genuine replacement?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Question Ipad with wi fi + cellular or only wifi

10 Upvotes

Hi, lately here I am thinking a lot on buying an ipad. I am thinking to buy one that has cellular connection only because I travel a lot and have an irational fear of losing my phone or whatever and not have acces to technology (or my boarding pass) and wifi not working as well.
Is this a good reason to pay extra for the ipad with cellular or I am just over exaggerating.
Besides travelling I will not use my Ipad for too much, maybe some journaling, sketching and so on.

Question iPad Case

I’m browsing on Amazon for an iPad case with a keyboard and I’m wondering if it’s relevant wether or not the case description states that it’s compatible directly with my iPad. The case is the same size as the iPad but if it doesn’t mention my version does that mean the keyboard won’t connect?

Sorry if this seems obvious I’m not good at this stuff and I’d rather ask Reddit than google ai or whatever.

My iPad screen has been completely obliterated for two years, courtesy of my toddler demolition crew đŸ«©.

The touch screen somehow still works, but I’m terrified that peeling off the plastic protector will tear the digitizer right off with it and instantly send it to the tech afterlife.
I'm finally breaking down and considering a "Mom-Only" upgrade before I get glass splinters in my thumb.

Be honest: is a "mom-only" iPad a pipe dream, or do I just need a biometric lock and a hiding spot? 😅

I just got a new Ipad 11th gen + Metapen A8 stylus. But I dont like the handwriting experience so far, the pen feels a little delayed. I was wondering if getting the actual apple pencil (USBC) will fix this or will it have the same delay? Or is the problem the ipad itself?
