    Should I update to iPad OS 17.7 or hold off?

    I'm being given the choice of update to iPad OS 17.7 or jumping to 18. For obvious reasons, I do not want to upgrade to version 18 -- yet, if at all. (I'm on an iPad 9.) However, is 17.7 OK? Or, should I hold off on it, too, until bug reports come in and bugs are fixed?

    All iPads Undecided between iPad Air 4 or iPad 9

    I really need an advice on this one please. I just want a media iPad (for wacthing something or reading a book) which will NOT get used every day, it will not be a daily driver, it will not be there for any work related stuff.

    iPad Full leather case for iPad 9 like Apple used to make for the original Air?

    I've just bought an iPad 9 for my Mum to replace her aged iPad Air. She currently has the full leather case that Apple used to make, is there anything like this for iPad 9? Trying to avoid the plastic back models most retailers seem to sell. Thanks in advance.

    iPad iPad 8 now? Or iPad 9 later?

    I'm considering a base iPad primarily for notes/planning work during my 9-5 WFH copywriting job, general browsing/entertainment, and performing line edits of my manuscript with the Apple Pencil (reduces paper waste and clutter). Own a Mini 5 and love it, but lately I've found the screen size a...
