    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

    My wife does graphic design on her ipad pro and it frequently runs out of power. There's nothing wrong with battery it's just that she uses a lot of procreate on it and it sucks the battery dry. I'm looking for a fast-charger of some sorts that'll get her back up and running with minimal wait...

    iPad Pro Those of you who upgraded to a M4 iPad Pro from the 2018

    I'm sitting here looking at the 2 devices and have 2 days to decide whether to keep the m4 13" or not. I got a great deal on the m4 256gb with cellular (nearly $700AUD off retail) on a device with 1 charge cycle. somebody returned it because it was too big for them. I can also purchase...

    iPad Pro NEW iPad Pro M2?

    I purchased a NEW iPad Pro M2 Wi-Fi + Cellular with 512GB for $799 during Best Buy's Labor Day sale, but it's still sealed. After watching a few YouTube reviews, I'm wondering if I should have spent the extra $$'s for an iPad Pro M4 or maybe even a MacBook Pro or Air? My intent was to use the...

    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...

    iPad Pro PWM: okay with iP14PM, thoughts on okay with iPP13(M4)?

    Hello :) I'm someone who's had issues with PWM on iPhones, couldn't use X; while things improve each year, I couldn't use an OLED iPhone until the 14PM. I'm aware that I can buy an iPP from Apple to try for two weeks, but having bought and returned so many OLED phones over the years, I've...

    iPad Pro Face ID has become so much worse for me with M4 iPad Pro (right handed)

    First world problems, but I’ve noticed that I have far more Face ID failures with my new M4 iPad Pro than my old M1 model with the new positioning of the Face ID camera. I never had a problem with Face ID before. But now, my right hand blocks the camera most of the time because my right hand is...

    iPad Pro 2018 iPad Pro owners - Have you upgraded to the M4 iPad?

    Hi all, I have a 2018 12.9in iPad Pro and can't decide on whether to upgrade to the M4 13in Pro. The main issue with my current iPad is the subpar battery, which cannot be replaced by Apple (they claim battery health is >80% when it clearly isn't). It isn't unusable however, and is still...

    All iPads What do you use your 12.9/13-inch iPad (Pro or Air) for?

    I remember reading a poll somewhere in the last couple of months (the poll itself was conducted before last month's M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro announcements) that suggested that 50% of all iPad sales in the year prior were for 12.9-inch iPad Pros. I would imagine that we have the "13-inch"...

    Please list if you use it with the Apple Pencil or not, what case you have it in (as I recall there was a couple threads about the Magic Keyboard scratching iPads), and how it is holding up so far now. I know there were some concerns about durability after the JerryRigEverything video, so I am...
