    All iPads Apple, PLEASE Bring Back the Home Button and Headphone Jack to iPad! 😡😡😡

    Okay, I’m calling it: the iPad lineup has lost its soul. I get it—full-screen displays look stunning in promo videos. But for actual daily use? Gestures are great, but nothing beats the instant, muscle-memory reliability of a physical Home Button. Touch ID in the display is cool, but it’s still...

    iPad mini Mini 8 Wishlist?

    My aging Mini 6 has me excited to see what Apple cooks up for a big Mini 8 upgrade. I’d love reduced bezels and for it to be a little thinner; I need OLED, ProMotion, and larger storage options. A NanoTexture option would be a longshot but an instant buy for me. What updates are you hoping to...

    iPad mini Will foldable iPhone make iPad mini obsolete?

    I have an iPad mini, version 5. After getting an iPhone Air and discovering how relieved I am to be rid of the weight of my older iPhone Pro Max, I have started using the mini again and find I really like it -- it is wonderfully light and easy to carry around. It badly needs to be upgraded but I...

    I have last years iPad Mini and in Safari, the transition when you want to scroll and the navigation bar “shrinks” is pretty choppy. Are you experiencing this too?

    iPad mini Cellular mini vs hotspot

    Hey everybody. I was looking at a new wireless plan and noticed that it has unlimited hotspot. I currently use a mini 6 with a cellular connection, but after using it for 6 months I’ve found I don’t really push the cellular aspect that much. I mostly take notes with my Apple Pencil and...

    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. One device of note being an iPad 3 that I happen to own...

    All iPads In which orientation do you use your iPad most often, landscape or portrait?

    With the new iPad Air and iPad Pro having switched the camera orientation to landscape, I was curious about which orientation most people predominantly use their iPad.

    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...

    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! But I did wonder if I was better off getting an iPhone 14 Plus at the time. Well, I ended up getting the iPhone 15 Plus and I love it! My use of the iPad...

    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...
