    iPad mini Ipad Mini 7: what storage did you choose?

    I am torn between 128 GB and 256 GB. My 15 Pro has optimized icloud and sits at 70 GB used. My icloud media is 160GB so not like 256GB of any help should i decide to store locally. Even then 256GB when storing locally will be full and then the jump to 512GB is needed and so on forever - never...

    iPad iPad 9 vs iPad mini 6 (for a specific use case)

    Hello Community! My wife travels all weeks and she wants a table for her work. She doesn't mind to have one bought in the second hand market. I can get her the iPad 9 (280€ to 300€) or the Mini (350€ to 400€). I was about to invest in the Mini (it is lighter and she can hold it with one hand)...

    Ultimate iOS 9 Performance Guide for A5 Devices

    I have recently taken an interest in early iOS devices as nostalgic purpose-built tools to enhance both recreation and productivity, as well as primitive touchscreen-based prototypes for what would eventually become the Apple Silicon Macs.

    iPad mini What if: iPad mini with Force Touch doubles as Magic Trackpad for Mac?

    Sometimes, like right now, I sit at the desk with my iPad mini. I look at the mini, beside my mouse, and lament the Magic Trackpad I cannot currently afford. It gets me thinking, is the iPad mini not the perfect size for a Magic Trackpad? All they'd need to do is give the mini Force Touch (and...

    iPad mini My use of my iPad Mini has dropped dramatically after getting an iPhone 15 Plus

    Hi everyone, As some of you know, I bought two iPad minis (long story, check my previous threads if you want). The iPad Mini has been great!

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11inch M2 screen rippling issue?

    I picked up this iPad Pro about two weeks ago. And today while I was writing in Goodnotes I realised that there was a 'rippling' effect that was happening in the bottom centre of the screen (portrait mode with Face ID module facing up, slightly above and to the left of charging port). It didn't...

    iPad mini Any ideas on what to do with a spare iPad Mini?

    Hi everyone, So, long story short (which you can find the longer version in one of the threads), I have two iPad Minis (current model), one that is unopened. I’ve tried selling it locally, but no dice (at least not for a realistic price). I’m thinking of just keeping both, but I’m wondering...

    Hi all, I recently bought the sixth generation iPad mini and am moderately happy with it, but I got a huge shock when I realised it was announced alongside a new iPhone in a previous September event. Now I’m unsure about returning the iPad and seeing what, if anything, is announced for the...

    iPad mini iPad Mini or iPhone 14 Plus?

    Okay, so… I’m still wondering pondering whether to get an iPad Mini or something else. Before the alternative was a Kindle Fire. Now I’m debating whether to get an iPhone 14 Plus. Obviously it’s smaller, but it has a better screen and can be a little more versatile due to being a phone. Also...

    mini 6 jelly scrolling on iPadOS 16

    So, Beta 3 rolls around and I figure it's probably stable enough to load onto my mini 6. For me, it's not a critical device like the phone, although I'm sure I use it more than my phone. Personally, since I like and use the pencil with Notes, I was intrigued by the AI driven "Handwriting...

    iPhone SE (2022) iPhone SE (2022) & iPad Mini, or wait for iPhone 14?

    Hi everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts on this. I currently have an iPhone SE. It’s been pretty alright since I didn’t go out much. But lately I’ve been going out a bit more and the battery on this thing is horrible. I love how light it is, but it’s died on me a few times out in the wild...
