    iPad Air Discolored iPad Air & MacBook Air M1

    Both devices showing discoloration after removing cases. Has anyone seen any solutions to getting the aluminum to regain its original color? Saying that i'm pretty disappointed in the way this looks. Neither device has been outside - get a case to protect things and this happens.

    Files disappear after updating my iPad Air to 17.5.1 and can only be found in Recents

    Hey! I have about zero tech knowledge and already contacted the Apple Support, but they could not help me with this. On Sunday most of my pdf files disappeared from my iPad, most of them have been downloaded in the last couple months and all of them have been edited by me, either by writing in...

    All iPads Is this defective?

    I got this new iPad Air 5 recently, hardly three days. I noticed a day later that the left edge of the display has gray shadows, that too the middle left edge, upper and lower are fine. The right edge is totally fine. Its not that big of a deal, I had Tab S8 before and it was so much worse that...

    10Gbps USB-C cable with 180 deg cable end?

    CharJenPro offers a 5Gbps one for their iPad stand. Any from a reputable brand (i.e. other than the 1M ChiCom mushroom brands in Amazon) that runs at 10Gbps?

    Apple-LG Ultrafine 5K is uselessly buggy with iPad Air 5

    Not sure if this is a PSA or a rant :confused: I bought my Ultrafine 5K at the same time as my 2020 Intel Mac Mini and the combo worked flawlessly. I just switched to a 256GB iPad Air 5 (M1) as my primary computer and the 5K is worthless with it. For almost every connection, the 5K mirrors...

    Okay. I’m from the US now in Belgium. The iPad Air 5th gen +cellular is $750 in the US and €1000 in Belgium. My question is, if I had my family ship one out from the states. Will It be compatible with a Telenet cellular SIM card from Belgium? So once again, I don’t care about warranties or...

    All iPads iPad Pro 11” 4th gen 128G or iPad Air 5th gen 256G?

    Trying to decide which is best to get as essentially first time iPad owner who will mostly just use the iPad for Netflix and casual web browsing when traveling (on plane and in hotel room). As far as I can tell it comes down to the Pro having an M2, ultra wide camera, 4 speakers, LiDAR, usb 4...

    iPad Air M2 to iPad Air?

    With the introduction of the M2, I assume it will come to the iPad Pro in the Fall. When do you think we will see the M2 on the iPad Air?

    iPad Air Do factory resets wear out the storage chips on Apple devices?

    I had read somewhere that continuously rewriting data on an SSD will wear out the number of write cycles it has and cause it to fail. I reset my new iPad Air so I could restore it from an iCloud backup and get access to my Google Authenticator, but I couldn't, so I reset it again and set it back...

    iPad iPad everyday use + Mac via remote desktop

    Is it a usable setup to get an iPad Air 5th gen with BT keyboard+mouse, and use it for everyday stuff—but also remote desktop into a Mac for stuff the iPad just doesn't do, such as torrenting, or things that are just better on a desktop, such as working on larger spreadsheets? Long story: I...

    My iPad Pro is the larger iPad Pro 3rd generation. About 2 generations behind… I primarily only use it for note taking. I have been throughout around upgrading - and thought to myself… should I upgrade my iPad Pro to the m1 iPad Air? Yes I know it’s a smaller screen - but it would be easier...
