    iPad Pro IPadOS 26 finally killed off my 2018 iPad Pro

    The iPad Pro 2018 was an amazing device and lasted me 7 years. From 2018-2020 it was my main device, replacing my Macbook itself. Since then, it’s taken a back seat to iphone 16 and macbook M2 s didnt get used much, but when used it still worked brilliantly for an older device. I took the...

    iPad Pro Elegant cooling solutions for the M4 Pro?

    Just wondering aloud: since seeing how much of a difference thermal pads can make on the M4 Airs, I'm wondering if there's any way to similarly cool the iPad Pro. It's just to have better sustained performance in graphically very intensive games like Genshin where it throttles after very...

    iPadOS 26 Adds a New “Eject” Option For External Drives in the Files App!

    Now, in the Menu Bar, an “Eject” option is listed under File. It is currently grayed out, which leads me to believe it’s still under work, as an eject symbol still doesn’t appear on a drive in the sidebar either. But the presence of this option indicates the option is coming, which will be...

    iPad Pro What’s your choice for an iPad case?

    Just got a Christmas gift, a new iPad Pro, from my Dad. Now I’m seeking the case for it but these days there are so many brands and I have totally no idea how to choose. I prefer a slim case and work with the Magic Keyboard, also my budget is around $50. Is there's any recommendations?

    iPad Pro Refurb 2022 iPad pro w/ 350 cycles vs. New 2022 iPad Pro ?

    I am eyeballing a 2022 model iPad Pro 12.9". I ordered a refurb which shows 350 battery charging cycles and barely 85% health. Another store has a new unit in stock for a good price. However this unit has had up to two years of shelf time (although it could also be 6 months). Which battery is...

    iPad Pro How many years of iPadOS upgrades can I expect for an iPad Pro 4th Generation?

    Buying a brand new iPad Pro is expensive as it starts at £999. I found a 4th Generation iPad Pro which is two years old and it is much cheaper than buying a brand new iPad Pro. Ideally, I would like to buy a last year generation but I cannot find a good price like I did for a 4th Generation...

    iPad Pro Memory Baseline

    Any thoughts on the new baseline of 16GB for all Macs? Wonder if there is more of a case to go for 16GB in iPad Pro or if it’s not as needed due to running iOS?

    iPad Fast Charger (wired or portable) for ipad pro

    Double-tapping Apple Pencil Pro to switch tools in Photoshop (iPad) doesn’t switch back

    I'm working on an iPad Pro M4 with the Apple Pencil Pro. I set “Photoshop for iPad” to switch to last tool when I double-tap the pencil. When I double-tap, it will switch to the previous tool. But when I double-tap again, it stays on that tool. I would expect this feature to work like it does in...

    iPad Pro Why doesn’t Apple ever significantly improve battery life?

    I have a fully loaded M4 iPad Pro here, and the biggest thing that’s disappointing about it besides the lack of Mac apps and OS customization is the battery life. The iPad has always been rated for 10 hours of battery life since the original iPad, but with the introduction of the M1 chip in the...
