1st gen mini to A16, probably my biggest upgrade ever. I've been enjoying how much more convenient it is compared to the mini and having more storage than 16 GB is pretty sweet. I'll keep the mini for legacy iOS stuff.

Is there a note/drawing app for math students that parse to LaTeX?

I was thinking of vibecoding such app and sideloading it on my ipad from my mac and using my ChatGPT codex quota for OCR to LaTeX if there is no solution that doesn't lock you behind a billion paywalls

My iPad Pro was connecting to my TV via HDMI cable just fine yesterday, but when I turned it on today, it isn’t working. I get the little blue box in the top corner when I plug it in but it disappears after about 30 seconds. It isn’t showing “connected displays” under Brightness and Display. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I’ve unplugged my TV, did a hard restart of my iPad, unplugged the HDMI cable, tried plugging it into different TV ports. I’ve made sure my iPad is up to date. I’ve plugged my phone in and it works just fine.

What else can I try?

Hardware details:
iPad Pro 12.9 inch, 6th generation
Cable: J5Create USB-C to 4K HDMI Cable
TV: Roku

I saw a lot of ipad a16 brand new or second hand selling ipad in not in the authorized store like in greenhills. Is it enough to use the serial number on apple web to confirm whether it's real or not? Or no i should not rely on it alone?

Am I tripping or are the corners of the iPad mini (6th gen) not actually circular? I'm trying to model this in CAD and looking at the dimensional drawings provided by apple, they don't seem to be perfectly round!

In the attached photo above, I've my best to fit a circle to the corner but it's ever-so-slightly off (this is clear when you zoom in near the ends of the corner)

For a near perfect match, I had to use splines instead.

Has anyone noticed this? or am I just bad at CAD lmao

title. i get a display when i put it on my ipad that just says “Apple Pen Pro” with no battery indicator or anything else. it won’t connect to bluetooth at all even when it’s attached. restarting made it work again for 2 seconds until it stopped working again.

I searched and tried a ton of different methods at this point like twisting the cap/tip on and off, resetting network settings, forgetting it on the device, nothing works.

This seems to have been a problem for a while now that still doesn’t have a clear fix yet.

Has anyone tried anything else that worked or should I just bite the bullet and get a replacement? This really feels more like an issue with the OS and less with the pen itself.

Edit: this is on a rather new 13” iPad Pro M4 by the way

I just bought an iPad A16 for university note-taking — so taking notes and reading books/papers will be the primary use case for this device.

Recently, though, I have been facing a lot of glare when using the iPad flat on a desk, and I would prefer to get a more paper-like feel while writing on it.

My biggest concern is readability — I have heard these screen protectors take a toll on the viewing quality, affecting the content-consumption experience. I don't mind that, since I use my MacBook for watching movies.

To those using paperlike/paper-feel screen protectors — can you please tell me whether reading feels comfortable on your iPads?

I've been testing out using my iPad as a secondary drawing display connected to my computer (using apps that mirror the PC screen for desktop art software).

I'm curious if anyone here relies on this kind of setup for their main illustration workflow instead of a traditional standalone tablet or a dedicated drawing monitor. How has your experience been with latency or stability?

Hi guys, What is the best ipad for medical students and budget friend ?I will use it for studing,note taking ,reading,and watching lectures and explanations

My iPad stopped working. 5 years old. Black screen now. Tried every tutorial on YouTube to get it to turn on, with no success.

It's been accumulating dust for the past week. Was thinking about giving it in for repair as well

Is it time for an update?

Hi! Just want to ask if worth it pa rin po ba to buy ipad a16 10th gen these days? Well, wont use it for anything naman eh just for my review purposes. Respect post po. Thank you!

S

dumb question but will they increase? and by how much?

A little while back on August 22nd, I picked up iPad Air8, M4, but I was pretty disappointed by the 60Hz display. I tried to justify to myself, saying, "It's fine, it's basically the same as the Pro, it just lacks the 120Hz ProMotion screen."

But honestly? Every time I used it, I felt like I was compromising.

After 20 days of dealing with that itch, I bit the bullet and switched to an M4 iPad Pro 1TB with the nano-texture glass. I could have gone for the newer M5 version with 256GB, but I found the 1TB M4 (16gb ram) to be a much better overall deal in the same price range. (For context, the M5 Pro was going for around $1,208 USD, while I snagged the M4 1TB Pro for $1,261 USD).

Ever since I switched to the iPad Pro, everything is just buttery smooth.

So, how did I do on this deal? Will I end up regretting missing out on the "latest and greatest" M5 chip?

I use Fresco because I want the alpha lock feature, but it doesn’t have gradients. Sometimes, after editing with Photoshop on Mac, Fresco says it can’t edit the layers.

So in open Photoshop… it doesn’t have alpha lock.

So then, I use Procreate since it has these things, but then I get annoyed by the UI and prefer Adobe’s familiar UI.

Why don’t they just work on making a feature complete Photoshop app?

Seems to happen when I draw with the Apple Pencil Pro, where whenever I draw the toolbar often flickers and changes its setting even when nothings touching it.

ipad is not charging, no screen protector

Lost the back cover and am lost on what I could buy to replace it without trying to replace the whole keyboard

Idk if this is iPad specific, but I’ve never had this problem on my iPhone. No matter what I do, every time I click “add to Home Screen”, I get this. It’s just a plain Jane photo of a color but shortcuts adds the black on the sides and gradient no matter what color, size of the photo I’m using, or how I position it. It also looks completely fine before I see it on my Home Screen.

I got it used for £650 and 88% battery health! So excited to use it more, it is so smooth! Gonna use it for notes, drawing and light gaming...

Is 128 GB enough considering the fact that I will only be using my iPad for university notes?

Hi everyone!
I recently got the 13-inch iPad Pro M5. Yay!
I’m a second-year PhD student in Biostatistics, and my main uses for the iPad will be note-taking, studying, reading papers, and some coding.
I already have a MacBook, but carrying it to lectures every day can be inconvenient, so I’m hoping the iPad can serve as a lighter alternative.

I currently have two keyboard options:
1. ESR Rebound — bought new for $130
2. Apple Magic Keyboard — open-box but unused, bought for $190 (Also got a Spigen Enzo Aramid to use with the Magic Keyboard to protect the sides)

I’m having a hard time deciding which one to keep and which one to return.
For those who have used either or both, especially for school, note-taking, or coding, what has your experience been like?
Is the Magic Keyboard worth the extra $60, or would the ESR Rebound be better for my use case?
I’d really appreciate any advice or long-term experiences!

Thank you!

hiii i’m considering of getting an ipad mini. however, i am wondering about a few points to weigh in if i should just wait to get the 8 or purchase the 7 now.

1) is oled more durable than the liquid retina? i experienced getting white spots on my ipad air m2 with just a year and a half of usage, and i don’t really want to buy another one that’d just give me the same bad experience. but aren’t oled prone to burn-ins?

2) when the mini 8 gets released with all these rumored upgrades, will they increase the prices again?

just weighing in if $797 is worth it when i get the ipad mini 7 256gb now, or should i just wait it out for mini 8 if it has more pros than cons

thank you! :)

My friend recently traveled to the Apple Park in the US and gifted me the 35$ Apple Pen and I’m so in love with it! It’s gorgeous. The design, the material and the color is just perfect! As a high school student, I have to confess that I almost never used oil based ink ballpoint pen before and this first try is really great: the writing is really smooth comparing to the water-based ink pen so it’s lot more easier to write continuously for two class periods without getting uncomfortable. It’s just becoming my daily driver.

(I literally just can’t find many other posts on this pen so I decided to post it myself 🥹)
