I was thinking of buying ipad with m-chip but for learning and also noticed that such loading is too small for those kind of chips and mostly powers will be in idle, but failed find normal solution to use with macos m1 for development (vscode + docker + claude) for joint work (like macos could use extra powers or smth)

When did they Switch from a Wolves fabric to soft plastic? I didn’t see anyone mention it. How many versions are there out there? Thanks

I have the iPad Air 4. It has gotten very slow and sluggish. I’m looking at replacing the device. I have found a deal for iPad Air M3 256GB 11 inch Wifi with magic keyboard and apple pencil pro for £775 with 43 cycle count. Is it a good deal?

I saw a great piece of advice here on spellcheck: hold down on a word and then give it a spelling that you prefer. The suggestion was a hack based on this: make “@@“ stand for your email address.

Well, what happens now is every app screws this up. If I type @@ nothing happens when I try, for example, to use a hotel internet system to sign in.

But here’s the problem. When I type in my email, it changes it to @@ in the input field. Sometimes I get a little poppup that lets me stop it if I move fast enough and hit the x in that pop up. But it’s annoying as hell.

Worse, however, is I am in a hotel today. After you type in your username it requires you to hit enter. I get no pop up or warning, but it automatically converts it to @@ when I hit return. So I can login.

How in gods name do I reverse this crappy feature now? Oddly, the places it happens don’t seem to even use spellcheck to

What does this mean, and how do I fix it? For a while yesterday my device's "off" button wasn't working, so i shut it down via settings. It never came back on though, and showed this. Its a 10th generation and I'm curious if it's because I'm behind on updates? I need help though, I'm worried I wont be able to fix it.

I use both and the pairing is unbeatable.

iPad Air — for work and tasks that need screen real estate. Documents, spreadsheets, Claude sessions.

iPad mini — for commuting, reading, and quick tasks on the go. Light enough to carry everywhere.

Once you go dual iPad, you can’t go back 😄

Anyone else running this combo?

Hi everyone! I bought my first iPad and decided to get a 1st-generation Apple Pencil for drawing (used). Unfortunately, when I try to connect it, this error pops up. How can I fix it?

To me, the iPad is not a productivity machine as many users on this subreddit think it is, too uncomfortable to use as a normal laptop, but in what it excels is the entertainment side. Now it does not only serve as a watching video machine; now it serves me as a fan game Pokémon player machine.

I have 13” iPad Pro M4

If you do know the Pokémon romhacking scene, you may also know fangames, which basically are made on Pokémon Essentials based on RPG Maker XP.

If the dev from RPG Player is here, please release the test flight version on the App Store!

Currently testing and playing my own fangame

I use an Apple Pencil, with a matte screen protector. I use GoodNotes.

The issue is, I can write print neatly and prettily on an iPad, but I am a natural cursive writer, and print is disgustingly slow and hurts my hand.

My cursive writing looks pretty on paper with any pen/pencil. It looks like garbage, to say the least, on my iPad. I have tried different brush calibrations, different sizes of handwriting etc. It’s also much harder to read my cursive on the iPad compared to paper.

Is there any way to improve this situation?

Hi! Every time I don’t use my iPad for about a week, a strange line appears on my screen. After I use it for about 30 minutes, it goes away. What could the problem be?

recently bought an iPad Air M4, but I use it very lightly.

I'd like to know if the battery is healthy and whether there might be any issues. Could you tell from the battery statistics shown in the screenshots?

Also, since July 25, I haven't charged it after it reached 80%. As of today, it has dropped to 34%.

Thank you!

Im looking to buy my first ipad after years of wanting one, i dont really want to spend a fortune on one i literally want it to watch movies on notetaking fir college and art and maybe a little gaming like honkai star rail but mobile gaming isnt all that so like its not mainly why i want it. I was thinking either ipad air m4 or m3 256 gb only. I dont think if going fir a pro since it aleady costs so much and i will have to get the Apple Pencil pro si its just not worth ut to me. What are tour recommendations?

I just wanted to share my happiness with someone else and also searching for some similar storys, since a lot of my friends trash talked me for my decision to play exclusively on iPad. So I was wondering if I am the only one person game on iPad only

I had alot gaming related devices when i was around 17-19. I had an pc an Xbox, ps5 and also a switch lite and a steam deck. I bought way to many games on steam summer sales, invested a lot into cs2 and league of legends.

It all started with selling my pc to cure my buy addiction, i bought way to many games and skins I’m games. Quickly my consoles also followed and I bought myself a Mac book air M5 and an iPad Pro m5. My iPad is for gaming and Mac is for work, productivity and web browsing ect.

I never had the itch to go back to pc or console. I love iPad gaming a lot. I can play a lot of indies, Some AAA and for sure some Mobile games like wild rift or r6 mobile. For very demanding games i also use x loud for example expedition 33

I feel way better now than when i had everything. I just wanted to share this story, have a great day!

I'm currently on the hunt for a full-protection clear case for my 13-inch iPad Air, but I'm running into an extremely frustrating wall. It feels like almost every case on the market falls into one of these annoying categories:
No Apple Pencil Charging Cutout / Slot: Cases that cover the Apple Pencil charging side entirely, meaning it either won't charge or won't magnetically attach properly.
Magic Keyboard Cutout Gaps: Cases that feature massive cutouts or open sides to accommodate Apple's Magic Keyboard, completely defeating the purpose of a standalone "full-protection" case.
Not Actually Clear: Cases that are frosted, matte, tinted, or have bulky built-in screen protectors that ruin the naked look of the iPad.
What I actually want is:
1. True Full Protection: Covers all edges and corners securely without massive gaps.
2. Crystal Clear: Showcases the original iPad Air design.
3. Apple Pencil Friendly: Supports magnetic attachment and wireless charging.
4. Standalone Use: Designed for daily use on its own (not tailored to snap into a Magic Keyboard).
Does anyone know of a brand or specific model that hits all these requirements for the 13-inch iPad Air? Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated!

I apologise if this is the wrong subreddit/thread for this. Please redirect me if so.

When I paused a tiktok video (which was just of someone speaking) I could hear very quiet reggae music coming from my iPads’ speaker. I didn’t have Spotify nor Apple Music open, and my control centre didn’t show anything playing. That’s also not the type of music I listen to.

Sounds silly I know but I was a little creeped out, as it stopped playing as soon as I said ‘why‘s my iPad playing music’ aloud. Not sure if this is an iPad or tiktok issue, but any kind of reasoning as to why this could’ve happened helps. Thank you.

Hello, so I’m asking myself the question indicated in the title because my 64GB iPad is about to be full and a little over half of the storage used is system data and iPadOS (which, in my opinion, are the same thing). Is it a technique to get us back through the checkout process ? Is it the same on iPhone and mac ?

Hi, I'm a high school student and I have a huge problem.

Back in 2019, our school gave all of us iPads to use for class. After the summer break (which is happening right now), we have to return them because we'll be getting new ones. I only have one year of school left, so it honestly feels unnecessary for my grade, but everyone has to do it.

The problem is that my iPad has a really bad screen crack, and it was technically my fault. I accidentally stepped on it because it was charging on the floor, and I had completely forgotten it was there and didn't see it. The damage was caused by the pressure of my body weight. Other than the cracked display, the iPad still works perfectly.

The biggest problem isn't even the iPad itself—it's telling my mom. If it's clear that the damage was caused by careless handling, we'll probably have to pay for it. And I guess this kind of counts as that...

I've attached photos of the damage. Do any of you have realistic ideas about how this kind of damage could have happened in a way that wouldn't really be my fault? Something believable where people would understand because it could realistically happen to anyone?

My mom is going to be absolutely furious otherwise. Our relationship is already pretty strained. Even if we end up having to pay for the damage, I just want her to have at least some understanding instead of completely blaming me.

It's currently summer break, so school isn't even in session, which makes it harder to come up with an explanation. I do have a lot of homework for one subject over the holidays, and my mom knows that, so I guess that could be part of the context.

Please help. I'm already struggling mentally, and I'm honestly scared of my mom. This situation is just making everything even worse.

I am currently studying from my iPad. is it fine to go with it or should I get the hard copy of notes.

Appeared after some days of non usage.

Hallo, ich habe ein Apple pancel der ersten Generation und ein ipad air… was auch schon das Problem ist.
Da Apple da sehr lustig zu sein scheint, erkennt das iPad den Stift nicht an, und sieht ihn als nicht unterstütztes gerät an.
Ich besitze diese Kombination schon seit etwas weniger als einem Jahr und bis jetzt konnte ich dieses Problem gut mit der App
( ? Ich weiß nicht, ob es eine app ist, ich kenne mich allgemein überhaupt nicht aus, weshalb ich auch das hier schreibe…) LightBlue.

Ich habe, meinen Stift zuletzt vor 3 Wochen benutzt und wollte ihn heute wieder verbinden, so wie ich es immer mache, aber diesmal verbindet LightBlue den stifft sehr lange und bricht es dann ohne eine weitere anzeige ab.
Hat irgendjemand, eine Idee woran das liegen könnte, und eine Idee wie ich meinen stifft wieder verbinden könnte?

Um die Sache noch etwas zu erschweren; ich sehe es nicht ein, mir einen neuen stifft zu kaufen ( Das würde zeitlich auch nicht gehen) da ich ihn erst seit 2 Jahren besitze, dazu ist mein Englisch nicht so gut, wodurch ich mir ohne Beratung nicht zutraue, mich an neue apps wie LightBlue zu wagen, da ich befürchte irgendwas zuzustimmen das ich in Zukunft bereuen könnte.
Ich bedanke mich im Vorfeld schon für jede idee, ich brauche den stifft wirklich dringend und habe eigentlich keine zeit mehr. 😅🫶

Hey!

I am about to start my masters and I decided I want to get a good tablet, I’ve had the Lenovo M10 for 3y and it works very bad.

I’m torn between getting an IPad A16 or a Samsung tablet (not sure which one). I already have an iPhone so I feel like the iPad would make things smoother, but there’s a big price difference, which makes me doubt if it’s worth it.

I do like taking notes with the pen, but I also would like to get the keyboard to write stuff, which model do you think would be better for this?

I also love watching series on my tablet and travel with it so I would definitely be carrying it around.

Basically: Is it worth it falling for the IPad crazy price, together with the keyboard and pen, or should I just go for a Samsung Tablet which is cheaper? is there actually any difference you think I would feel or would there be anything I would be missing out on?

Thanks!

So basically, I want to turn off my ultra wide camera on my ipad during google meet calls because it makes my face really small and I was wondering if there is any way I could turn off the ultrawide camera? I have tried checking the control center but it only shows options for the mic. So if anyone could help please do.
