    All iPads iPad / Pencil and Apple Notes not working properly

    I'm asking for help here, because Apple support have been no use to me at all. Let me set out my stall...please. I have an iPad Pro 11' (2020) and 2nd Gen Apple Pencil. I have experienced in recent months in both iOS 17 AND 18, that trying to write with the Apple Pencil in notes has gotten very...

    iPad iPad overheats when using Apple Pencil (Pro) with Notes + Solution (?)

    I've noticed that my iPad Pro (13″, M4) tends to overheat when using the Apple Pencil Pro with Apple Notes and FreeForm. After experimenting with various settings, I've identified that the issue is likely related to iCloud synchronization. When iCloud sync is turned off or when I take notes...

    Post your Apple Ecosystem!

    Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

    All iPads Sometimes I can’t move cursor with Apple Pencil 2

    This is a bit strange. When I’m using the Notes.app (and only the Notes.app), sometimes I can’t move the cursor by tapping with Apple Pencil 2. The cursor remains frozen at the end of the line. I have a couple of workarounds: long-pressing on the soft-keyboard, quitting and restarting the...

    Luna Display vs. Sidecar: Which one is better for using an iPad as a second screen for a MacBook Pro?

    Hi, I need some advice on using my iPad as a second screen for my MacBook Pro. I have two options: Luna Display and Sidecar. Luna Display is a wireless device that connects the iPad to the Mac via Wi-Fi or USB, while Sidecar is a software feature of macOS Catalina and later that works with...

    iPad What's the difference between iPad Air and iPad10?

    Apple can just simply combine the Air and 10gen... The usb-c and Apple Pencil with lightning port is very confusing(Too inconvenient to charge) . Still keeping a 3dot connector at the bottom edge and making a new Microsoft surface keyboard is also weird, thus the vanilla iPad can't use the Magic...

    iPad Fuse the ipad and MacBook Pro into one?

    I own a M1 MacBook Pro and 12.9“ iPad Pro. Being a digital illustrator, I primarily use the iPad for Procreate and handwriting notes. In my opinion, however, iPadOS is a feeble alternative to MacOS for everything else. Professional work, document editing and even navigation. Apps threaten to...

    We need to talk about sustainability. [Apple pencil]

    Hi, everyone, in the recent years, Apple has advertised being a green company, going as far as not using plastic in their cables. However, not allowing batteries to be replaced in their Apple Pencils strikes me as a terrible move, which makes their discourse seem very superficial. We need to...

    Annotations using Apple Pencil in eBooks in the stock Book app

    Hi all I have been trying to figure out a way to annotate/take notes using an Apple Pencil inside an eBook in the stock Apple Books app. Is this seriously not possible in 2022 ? Basically I’d like to be able to scribble my thoughts, underline, annotate etc like I’d do in a physical paper book...

    All iPads Wondering how the Apple Pencil's force detection works.

    It's quite different compared to Wacom and Microsoft's pen pressure mechanics. But I have the feeling that inside the tip there's some kind of piezoelectric force sensor that outputs a certain voltage depending on how much force is applied, which is then fed into an ADC that tells the iPad how...

    All iPads Just curious, how much impulse can the tip of an Apple Pencil withstand?

    Sometimes when I'm thinking really hard I'll repeatedly pick up and drop my Apple Pencil by a few centimeters onto its tip on the table as a way of fidgeting. And that got me thinking, how much impulse (as defined in physics as change in momentum) can the tip as well as the mechanism underneath...

    iPad Pro There seems to be an issue with the Notes app on iPadOS 15.

    I was able to replicate this issue with multiple Apple Pencil and iPad Pro units at the Apple Store, even when Wi-Fi was turned off (which caused one of them to think it was being stolen and make a loud alarm sound, guess it was a first for the employees there who were more than understanding...

    Other Will there ever be Apple Pencil support for iPhone?!

    Hi there, While I personally don’t believe that it will ever happen, I think Apple should add Apple Pencil support to -at least!- the Pro models of iPhone. Especially considering Samsung added it to its major flagship, the galaxy series. The iPhone is capable of it and quick notes is just a...

    I was charging my Apple Pencil 2 with my Ipad Pro (11 inches 2018) and the magnetic charger just bent by itself cracking the screen. Since my Apple Care+ expired two weeks ago and the support center said there was nothing they could do. They didn't give me an explanation about what could have...

    Apple Pencil 3rd generation

    I predict that a new generation of the Apple Pencil will come this year (2022) probably at the same time Apple will announce new iPad Pro models. Probably with the same design but with FindMy compatibly and 1h more battery. I think this new pencil with substitute the 2th generation which won't...

    All iPads Don’t overtighten your Apple Pencil’s tip

    Yesterday, my 1st generation Apple Pencil was acting up. I had only used it for two weeks, but it would disconnect whenever I would apply pressure to the screen when writing/drawing. I tried everything; rebooting my iPad, re-pairing it to the Pencil, replacing the Pencil’s tip with the one that...
